This October, activist art collective INDECLINE is returning to the Bay Area for a series of politically charged special events with City Lights Books, Roxie Theater and Studio Fallout.

Best known among locals for their guerilla installation of a naked Donald Trump statue in 2016, and a viral billboard liberation campaign aimed at Immigration and Customs Enforcement policies, the collective hopes to continue its efforts in celebrating their colorful and sometimes controversial history of activism with the community ahead of what is certain to be another contentious election.

Friday, October 11th, the collective will return to Studio Fallout to screen its feature length film, “Control Alter Delete,” the companion piece to the book, that features behind-the-scenes footage of billboard liberation adventures from 2000-2024.

INDECLINE, founded in 2001, is an anonymous activist art collective who has utilized guerilla art installations, experimental theater, performance art and billboard liberation as tools to satirically address the various political issues in America and abroad. In the Bay Area, they are best known for installing a naked Donald Trump statue (“The Emperor Has No Balls”) in the Castro District in 2016.
