Paid Agitator - Abolish ICE is a linocut and letterpress print made in response to the violence and absurdity of a system that treats detainment and disappearance as policy. The phrase “paid agitator” is often used to discredit dissent; here, it’s reclaimed as a refusal to be silent.
Printed by hand on a Vandercook Universal 4 press, this work embraces physical labor as resistance. When power feels immovable, making something tangible is an act of defiance.
I may feel powerless in the face of the harm carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but I can make art. Art gives me a voice—and a way to speak in solidarity with those whose voices are ignored or erased. This print is about naming injustice, holding ground, and choosing hope anyway.
12 × 18 inches.
Printed by hand. Made with urgency.
