Art Statement

The Campaign

MAKE AMERICA GRACE AGAIN is a Wanderausstellung and an artistic act of revenge against an autocratic America, aiming to show that art outlives all dictators. Artists & supporters are invited to participate by following our account at BlueSky. Founder: OTTO FREII via https://ottofreii.de.

Our revenge will be artistic …

The federal government under Donald Trump is destroying America’s 250-year-old democracy at an alarming pace, along with the very values the Constitution is meant to protect. While American democracy has never been perfect, these principles must be defended today if they are to reach their full potential.

The founder of MAKE AMERICA GRACE AGAIN comes from an old German Nazi family and, ironically, spent his youth under the dictatorship that succeeded the Nazis, the GDR. Just as that regime was built on lies, persecution, and hatred, the same forces are taking shape today under the federal government in the United States.

Just as American soldiers once marched to defend the freedom of Europe, we now summon artists from every corner of the world to wield their art in defense of America’s liberty. Through their creativity, art itself will become our revenge.

If it looks like a lame duck, waddles like a lame duck, and quacks endless nonsense, we must face the truth, it really is a lame duck and not a graceful swan. Especially when this duck holds the power to tear the world apart.

Today, white Americans are confronting what oppressed peoples of all colors have faced for centuries, a regime that crushes humanity and suppresses resistance.

MAKE AMERICA GRACE AGAIN responds with artistic defiance, inviting artists worldwide to contribute to a decentralized, global exhibition that resists tyranny, sparks conversation, and reclaims grace through art.

The exhibition officially opens on July 4, 2026, the Independence Day of the United States, a day that reminds us why freedom must be defended, and why art is one of the most powerful acts of resistance.
