FORCE Is Seeking a Studio Intern. We Have Internship Positions Available All Year

FORCE is seeking a Studio Intern. We have internship positions available all year.

Who we are:

Force: Upsetting Rape Culture is an art activist collective that works to upset the dominant culture of rape and promote a counter-culture of consent. We believe that a more difficult and honest conversation needs to happen in America to face the realities of sexual violence, and we envision a world where every individual has final say over what happens to their own body. To promote this needed conversation, we create art actions to generate media attention and get millions of people talking. FORCE is led by Saida Agostini, Hannah Brancato, and Shanti Flagg, creative educators, organizers, and activists in Baltimore, MD.

The Monument Quilt is Force's biggest project. We are collecting stories from survivors to sew together and display on the National Mall to spell NOT ALONE.
