An issue that I want to create an intervention for is school shootings. The way that I wish to go about it is based loosely on the 24hr museum on page 42 of The Art of Activism. Specifically, the part about burning. My idea is to create artwork of students who have died in both recent and significant school shootings. The audience will be encouraged to set the artwork on fire. As the drawings are burning away they will reveal a second layer of drawings underneath that show the same figures as skeletons. This is to represent that their lives have been stolen from them. I want the intervention to push for a change for stricter gun laws to decrease the number of deaths by guns.
