Taking Back Orange

Santa Fe Collective presents:

Taking Back Orange

A group show at Art.i.fact

Over the course of the presidential election, the use of color to denote opposing teams and movements became very apparent.  Blue states/red states, pink hats, red hats. Color is highly effective as an easy symbolic device in these cases.  But when the color orange became a meme as a result of the president’s misuse of self-tanner and hair dye, that’s when it became clear that we must re-appropriate the color orange and pay homage to its richness and complexity.
