La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club has long provided a space where artists can experiment and take risks. It views art as a force for change, with audiences becoming part of the creative process as their responses help shape the work. Together, artists and audiences form a unified resistance against violence, racism, and discrimination.
Founded in 1961, La Mama is the only original Off-Off Broadway venue still in operation. Created as a force for change, it remains a haven where artists can develop new works free from censorship.
Banksy, the renowned street artist, is often credited with saying, “Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.” That idea captures the essence of political art. Under the Influence exemplifies Banksy’s statement.
