WHERE
revolutionary ARTISTS
COME TOGETHER
Mission
Founded by Steve Cannon in 1991, A Gathering of Tribes supports diverse, traditionally under-represented artists and writers, amplifying the emerging and established revolutionary voices of our time.
AGOTT is also committed to honoring and memorializing our founder, Steve Cannon’s life and legacy.
AGOTT
IN THE WHITNEY BIENNIAL
Cannon, who was blind, was always there, ready to give and take ideas, enthusiasms, opinions. The Biennial has recreated, or reimagined, the apartment setting, bringing in old furniture, installing a wall painting by Cannon’s friend, the artist David Hammons, and including personal items, like Cannon’s ever-present ashtray, along with stacks of the books, notebooks and magazines that filled the place. In short, it conjures up the ghost of a utopian situation.
