Wall St. is War St.
This episode of Fugitive Materials features an interview with Ben Morea, the founder of the 1960s Lower East Side anarchist-artist groups Black Mask and Up Against the Wall Motherfuckers, known for their provocative demonstrations and radical broadsides. Morea reflects on his unconventional methods—ranging from direct occupations and mock executions to garbage offensives—revealing how these disruptive actions had the power to eventually bring MoMA to a standstill.
