Additional Description

Note

The Like The Waters We Rise box set is a collection of posters, photos, and objects from the front lines of the climate justice movement, 1968-2002. Like The Waters We Rise was created as part of a larger exhibition and event series developed with the Nathan Cummings Foundation (New York City) and Interference Archive (Brooklyn) in 2019-2020. The box set was created in 2022 in collaboration with Booklyn, an artist-run non-profit which addresses and distributes the work of artists and social justice groups that address urgent cultural issues. The set includes posters, banners, and buttons selected and organized by Raquel de Anda and Josh MacPhee; A color printed monograph is also included. Proceeds from the project were donated to the Climate Justice Alliance to support frontline climate justice organizing.
