"Well I'm a gonna tell you fascists, you may be surprised, people in this world are getting organized, Guthrie sings, shouts, whoops and whistles in his distinctive Oklahoma twang. You're bound to lose. You fascists bound to lose."
"It's as if you're walking into his office and he's writing so much that things are falling off his desk, said Mendez. We wanted to encapsulate Guthrie's explosive creativity."
Woody Guthrie's protest music, particularly the song 'All You Fascists,' resonates with contemporary political issues. A new exhibition at NYU's Clive Davis Institute, curated by Bea Esteves Mendez and fellow students, recreates Guthrie's Coney Island apartment and features over 130 archival reproductions. The exhibit aims to showcase Guthrie's explosive creativity through his cartoons, notes, and lyrics, creating an immersive experience that reflects his ongoing relevance in today's political climate.
