The Illuminator Shines a Light on the Crises of Educational Debt and Displacement

In 2016, The Illuminator staged projection campaigns about displacement and the crippling educational debt crisis. Believing that "All Our Grievances are Connected," the projection actions have sought to connect the local to the global. They'll discuss their collaborations with the Crown Heights Tenant Union, student groups in Chile and the Chinatown Art Brigade.

The Illuminator is a political art collective based in New York City that utilizes guerrilla projections in the urban landscape as their primary strategy for intervention. Since emerging from the Occupy Wall Street movement in 2012, the collective has fought to smash the myths of the information industry, and shine a light on the urgent issues of our time.
