<b>Worcester Art Museum,</b> Renaissance Court, 55 Salisbury Street, Worcester, MA <br> A hybrid of photography, drawing, etching, sculpture and digital design, Actions Speak examines the frustrated relationships between government, and the news media pertaining to often unmentionable topics of brutality, domestic violence, HIV and AIDS. In Actions Speak, the artist duo THINK AGAIN takes on taboo social topics and raises the questions: How does policy affect individuals? Who is allowed to speak and who lives with the consequences? Nationally renowned artists and THINK AGAIN co-founders, S.A. Bachman and David John Attyah, are known for social issue art, which can be a platform for intellectual dialogue and can inspire individuals to social action. This project features a 67-foot interior wall mural in the museum's Renaissance Court. Sponsored by: This project has been supported by a grant from the Artists' Resource Trust. Additional generous support provided by the Don and Mary Melville Contemporary Art Fund, Dave and Marlene Persky, and Worcester Magazine.. Cost: Free with Museum admission. 17 and under always free.
