The Tea Party
performance-intervention
collaboration with Carolyn Lambert
2004

As the city of Boston braced for the 2004 Democratic National Convention, my collaborator and I founded a fictitious political party, The Tea Party, inspired by New England's most famous patriots and protestors. This on-going performance occurred on the streets and public spaces of Boston for 6 weeks. The happenings took many forms, including street interviews, political rallies, and chance encounters with strangers on busses and at tourist attractions. Please see the project website archive for more information.
