QTVC x moCa: Season 2, Episode 1 with Aram Han Sifuentes
Aram Han Sifuentes speaks about their latest collaborative edition with moCa Cleveland, the Peaceful Protestor Tote Bag.
Aram's practice questions the ways in which immigrants can find safety in a system that doesn't provide it. As an artistic response that expands upon her Protest Banner Lending Library, she has developed a new tote bag, produced in collaboration with moCa, that provides peaceful protesters with language to use to exercise our constitutional rights if we are ever confronted by authorities such as police or I.C.E.
As the first item for sale in QTVC Live's partnership with moCa and a part of Getting to Know Aram Han Sifuentes, this bag, made out of reflective fabric, is printed with text that supports peaceful protesters.

BEDLAM, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival to a standing ovation, is a documentary that immerses us in the national crisis surrounding care of people with serious mental illness.
Watch the talk here. And to screen the film for free register at bedlam-mentalhealth-virtualfilm.eventbrite.com through May 27.
