Collaboratives

[edit]

Think Again

[edit]

Founded with David John Attyah, Think Again (1997–2012) is an artist-activist collaborative. Think Again's projects—billboards, outdoor projections, postcard actions, and artist books—explore various social issues such as sexual liberation, militarization, undocumented labor and the treatment of immigrants, and economic inequality.[2][3]

In 2001, Think Again received the Tanne Award.[4]

Louder Than Words

[edit]

In 2013, Bachman and Neda Moridpour co-founded the activist art collective Louder Than Words. The collective targets sexual assault, domestic violence, women and migration, LGBTQ equality, and prison reform.[5]

The 2017 project Women On the Move addresses sexual assault, harassment, and domestic violence.[6] The Louder Than Words collaborative converted a 26-foot truck into a mobile billboard and resource center to address sexual violence. The project emphasizes the particular challenges faced by different demographics as a result of sexual violence.[7][8][9]
