​A multimedia presentation of 10 installations exploring the idea of civil disobedience, inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's Salt March speech and the effect his words had on a multitude of people.
​Each participating artist or artist-pair is invited to find text from a speech of resistance in history to use as their inspiration. Audiences will be free to wander around STT’s warehouse space and observe the installations which will be placed around a large pile of salt in the center of the room. Installations will be a mix of live, ongoing, repetitive action, film, or static visual art. Shaking the Tree’s Artistic Director, Samantha van Der Merwe will orchestrate the experience, and flow of the evening, working with each individual artist/artist pair to best express their final vision.
