Projecting Protest
PRESENTED BY: Online EventBackbone Meaningful Movies presents an event all about Light Projection. First we’ll watch the short documentary, Projecting Protest.
Light projection as a form of protest, what some call “temporary graffiti,” has been on the rise over the past decade. Yet, it remains largely unregulated by American law, sparking ongoing debate over whether it truly qualifies as “free speech.”
Projecting Protest follows activists across the political spectrum who wield light as a tool for dissent, projecting bold messages onto buildings and monuments in real-time to challenge authority. Their actions push the boundaries of traditional protest and raise age-old questions about free speech in a digital era.
We’ll show the film online, then have a brief Q&A with light projectionists and the filmmaker. In the 2nd part of the event, Backbone Executive Director Bill Moyer, featured in the film, will do a short tutorial on how to get started with light projection.

Special Guests: Tom Clement, Filmmaker and Bill Moyer, Light Projectionist featured in the film
