The seven people posed in front of the NEA building with #saveNEA projected onto it
A bunch of pedestrians pass the NEA building while a W.H. Auden poem is projected onto it.
Aram Sinnreich stands in front of the NEA building with his poem projected onto it. The poem reads: Alone, a flag is just a bauble. Laws alone are blunt commands. Anthems ring with false bravado. A shore alone is merely sand. Alone, an army’s just a mob. Civil servants only serve their jobs. And presidents preside from thrones. With poetry, we are not alone.
