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 |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
