The Official Unofficial Voting Station: Voting for All Who Legally Can't
There are 91 million people in the United States and its territories who cannot legally vote. This includes: youth under 18, non-citizens, incarcerated, ex-felons, residents of US territories, and people without state IDs. This means that 1 in every 3 people cannot legally vote. 1 in 10 people 18 years old and over cannot legally vote.
There are Official Unofficial Voting Stations taking place all over the US and in Mexico. All are welcome to vote, but we especially invite those who are discontented and the disenfranchised.
Each station is different. They range from taking ballots into prisons to museum installations to performative events.
Collaborators: Sadie Woods (Chicago: Hull House and MCA), Roberto Sifuentes (Chicago: MCA), Lise Haller Baggesen (Chicago: Hull-House), Verónica Casado Hernández (Baltimore/DC), Lilah Thompson (Philadelphia), Mara Baldwin (Ithaca), Brandon Bullard (Detroit), Marianne Sadowski (Los Angeles), Maritea Daehlin (Chiapas, Mexico), Cecilia Aguilar Castillo and Erick Fernández Saldaña (Mexico City).
This project was commissioned by the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum in Chicago, IL, which serves as the hub of all the stations. All the ballots will be counted and exhibited here.
Exhibition: September 8, 2016 - April 2017
