In order to explore 3 different strategies for making disruptive art that serves social justice, I will present several of my photo-related projects. One is about an intervention at a toxic Superfund site in the heart of Gainesville, FL. Another scrutinizes the art industry and the vulgar commodification of art by billionaires at art fairs. A third, "Ft Myers: An Alternative History", is a 100-ft. long, photo-based tile mural on a courthouse. The imagery characterizes the suppressed, chilling history of the fort's original function: to eradicate the Seminole People from Florida - round them up like cattle, kill them or force them into ships for deportation.
