This portrait introduces artist Robbie Tait Jr. and demonstrates the transformative power of art. He walks us through his Turtle Island Handbook project which arose from a desire to transmit his culture and family heritage through his drawings. He also addresses the political side of his art through his Rainbow Tears project, inspired by a story about the political prisoner Leonard Peltier.

A Rainbow to Turtle Island

Trickster activists the Yes Men collaborate with Clean Clothes Campaign and Berlin fashion designers to orchestrate an elaborate hoax announcement in an effort to improve conditions for garment workers and sustainability in the Adidas supply chain. Then they stage a shocking and hilarious fashion show at the opening of Berlin Fashion Week that makes the world pay attention to labor and environmental abuses that the mega-brand is trying to hide. This video documents a brilliant “performance-intervention”. A fake fashion show during fashionweek in NYC that fools all the fashionistas. It’s a cool critique of the labour conditions thatunderlie the Adidas brand in Cambodia. The Clean Clothes Campaign approached The YesMen, who put together this event with the help of a design team, Threads and Tits. The result ofthis ruse is that Adidas has to publicly admit they are not making ethical changes to it’s Brand.It’s a must-see to believe it. You won’t forget it.
