most recent work - Project Your Vote!
AMP presents Project Your Vote, a new site-specific installation by artist Jessica Tully. Project Your Vote is a non-partisan public art exploration that promotes voting and asks “How will you vote?”
Inspired by 2020 Project Your Vote video footage created by Jessica Tully, Packard Jennings, Felicia Gonzales, Loushana Roybal Rose, and Medusa Feline Science as part of the Center for Artistic Activism’s Unstoppable Voter Project, this AMP presentation of Project Your Vote is a site-specific installation led by artist Jessica Tully.
For 2022, Jessica expands her vision, considering the history of voting rights in the U.S., including the 1913 Woman Suffrage Parade, alongside the current voting climate.
Adults and children alike witnessed Jessica’s original Suffrage stencil work alongside the Project Your Vote video resulting from this unique Art Moves Project-led collaboration. The installation was on view through election night, November 8th, at Hollie’s Homegrown in downtown Lafayette.
