Mark Tribe’s Port Huron Project 4: We Are Also Responsible will begin his program at 44½. This reenactment of César Chávez’s seminal 1971 speech encouraging farmers to fight for economic change rather than against the poor in other countries was presented by Creative Time with LACE in Los Angeles on July 19 as part of Creative Time’s national public art initiative Democracy in America: The National Campaign. The video will include closed captions of the text of the speech. It will be followed by presentations of Port Huron Project 1¬–6 to correspond with the Convergence Center exhibition produced by Creative Time in association with the Park Avenue Armory, from September 21 to 27.
