AUG 09: The first Art Attack
The first Art Attack
August 2009, in the back of a Rabbit Movers truck in Brooklyn
The trucks of Rabbit Movers became pop-up galleries and stages. At the first Art Attack, The Party Faithful played in the back of a truck. A New York Times photograph of the performance, captioned “Lindsay Mound with Justin Lin, a photographer and Rabbit Movers employee, perform in the back of a Rabbit truck in Brooklyn”, ran with Andrew Keh’s article on Rabbit Movers, “Creative Opportunity: Heavy Lifting Required”, on 24 August 2009.

It’s my great pleasure to invite you to our very first Umuzi photography exhibition. Please join us to view these arresting images of Johannesburg township life, taken by children in the program that you have helped to support! This first glimpse into the lives’ of our South African students will take place on July 9, 2009 (one-night only) at Rabbit Hole Studio in Dumbo, Brooklyn. Doors open at 6:00 pm.
High quality prints will be on sale with all proceeds going towards funding projects at the children’s schools, which sorely need basic infrastructure. We are also holding a used camera donation drive, and ask you to bring along any old digital cameras you no longer use. Blue Point Brewing Company will be sponsoring the event.
Umuzi is a photography club for primary and secondary school learners in Soweto and other developing communities in Johannesburg, South Africa. Through a series of highly interactive and fun workshops, learners are introduced to photography basics and visual literacy. At each workshop, learners receive their own film cameras, which they carry for a week, playing the role of a documentary photographer. In the following workshops, they scrutinize their prints and build a portfolio of their favorite work, which is bound into an album they keep. The organization strives to uphold the importance of artistic self-expression and critical thinking through the art of photography.
