Prints for Harris / Walz: Danny Nicoletta

$ 1,200.00

The time is now.  We at Electric Works have made political appeals before.  Each one has felt crucial.  This one is not any less so.  Kamala Harris and Tim Walz offer us hope in times of looming, seemingly unstoppable doom from those who would take power and not ever cede it.  We could not sit by and do nothing while there is so much at stake in this election.  We spoke to some of our past collaborative artists to put forth this fundraiser.  

100% of proceeds from the sales of these prints goes directly to Michigan Voices.  They ensure that voters get registered and voters' voices get heard. This action will be key to victory in Michigan, one of the battleground states that Harris must win.  

Economy, women's health rights, the future of democracy, manufacturing and the environment are all in play in 2024.   

June 30, 2019 - Kamala Harris supporter in the SFLGBT+ Pride Parade, 2019. 20x13.5.  Edition of ten.  Archival pigment print.   

 

More about Danny Nicoletta

I am a photographer who began my career in 1975 as an intern to Crawford Barton. Crawford (b.1943 – d. 1993) was then a staff photographer for the U.S. national “gay” magazine The Advocate among other publications.

I also worked in Harvey Milk’s camera store in the heart of the burgeoning lesbian gay bisexual transgender mecca of San Francisco and I was involved in Milk’s victorious election as the 7th openly LGBT elected official in the U.S. history*.  The victories of these courageous people and their supporters signaled a new era of visibility for the LGBT rights movement.

Never very far from our vision for the future was awareness of the longer history of activism and resistance by many other LGBT pioneers such as José Sarria who ran for SF Supervisor in 1961, stunning the popular imagination by garnering 6,000 votes despite vote suppression efforts against him. 

My work maps my romance with San Francisco history and its people, especially lesbian, gay bisexual, transgender people and our allies and is built upon the shoulders of our elders and ancestors.
