DescriptionExecuted during the period of the Miss Rockaway Armada project. Signed and dated in pencil by Swoon, recto.
The project was conceived by Swoon, and was built and organized by a collective of 25 artists, performers and activists from New York, San Francisco, Seattle and Wisconsin. The collective floated down the Mississippi River on a 110 foot raft made of scrap materials. They spent months gathering resources to build this floating home/art project, then floated from Minneapolis to New Orleans; all the while stopping to meet people, share skills, perform, swap stories, and otherwise engage in cultural exchange.
