G REVOLUTION 2015
NYC Hammerstein:
Artistic Uprising
One Billion Rising Revolution kicked off the year’s events with a one-night
benefit at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City—an unprecedented
revolutionary gathering of poets, performers and grassroots activists that
radicalized the collaboration of art and activism and expressed how creativity and solidarity can both be powerful testaments of celebration and protest.
The night ended with performers and participants dancing, singing and
ushering in the Revolution!
