If you give guns to artists, what would they do with them? The answer: They create art that comments on the neverending escalation of U.S. gun culture. An exhibit at Fairfield University — “#UNLOAD: Guns in the Hands of Artists” — is a collection of artworks made with weapons accumulated in New Orleans in a gun buyback program. The exhibit originated in the 1990s, led by artist Brian Borrello and gallery owner Jonathan Ferrara, and has been remounted and is traveling nationwide. Mary Himes and Helen Klisser During brought the exhibit to Connecticut. The two are co-founders of unloadusa.org, a nonprofit organization that uses and encourages artistic expression to open dialogue about gun culture.

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
