Interdisciplinary artist and activist Dread Scott has spent his career using art to disrupt norms, question corrupt systems of power, and ignite necessary political conversations. His work, he writes, “looks towards an era without exploitation or oppression,” challenging the notion that current political and economic structures of America as inevitable. In 1989, his now-iconic artwork “What Is the Proper Way to Display a U.S. Flag?” was denounced by President George H.W. Bush and the U.S. Senate. The resulting Supreme Court case cemented its place in art history as a touchstone for debates about patriotism and dissent.
