Nelson Santos
"Power To The People" Marsha P. Johnson Neon Sculpture

2021

About the Item

POWER TO THE PEOPLE is based on the picket sign held by Marsha P. Johnson in a 1970 photograph by Diana Davies. The work is a glowing, neon-lit reinterpretation of a picket sign held by Johnson at a protest in 1970, and pays radiant homage to the rallying cry that continues to galvanize liberation movements to this day. The work was created by Santos to mark the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising (1969/2019) and to recognize Marsha P. Johnson’s activism at and beyond Stonewall. The 10-edition sculpture is now available for purchase, and with only 3 editions left to buy, stock is extremely limited! In the photo, Johnson stands with her sign outside of NYU’s Bellevue Hospital to protest the hospital's inhumane treatment of gay, transgender and homeless people.
