Participants are invited to vote for themselves as President of any desired role, whether it be President of Peace or President of Pretzels, at this pop-up voting booth. All presidencies are considered equal, and the project celebrates the right to self-declaration. This interactive experience aims to get people excited about voting without delving into political debates, as part of the #IVote4U national tour. Funny on the surface and serious underneath—on purpose, the artist aims to put humor back in the medicine cabinet for generations. Humor, art, and love.
