2020 was a heartbreaking year for many of us, filled with great loss. While the industry was shut down, I also lost my dearest and most beloved mom. I created and directed a funeral march- due to circumstance, in honor of all the lives tragically lost, and to help get out the vote. I was honored to have Street Art NYC come along and document the performance. Click on the photo to read the feature about the piece.
Wonderful photos taken by The Dusty Rebel, featuring A Presidential Parody's Halloween performance to Get Out the Vote.
