Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Access Virtual Exhibition

This text comes from the Diggers, a group of religious and political rebels in England in the mid-1600s. They honored the connections between people and nature and believed in economic equality. The Diggers sought to reform the existing social order by creating small, egalitarian communities and farming common land. Echoes of these ideas can be seen today in the rise of urban farming, backyard chicken raising, and other small scale self-sustaining initiatives.

Exhibition Label: "Printed Art and Social Radicalism," Jun-2002, Stephen Goddard The portfolio Your House is Mine was produced in the wake of the 1989 Tompkins Square Riots in New York City; the events surrounding the confrontation of police and radicals over the eviction of squatters in Lower East Side properties and the 300 homeless living in Tompkins Square Park.
