In a fascinating conversation, artist and journalist Molly Crabapple explores the parallels between two seemingly disparate movements: the 19th-century Pale of Settlement, a vast area of land in Imperial Russia where Jews were forcibly relegated, and Occupy Wall Street, the 2011 protests against economic inequality in New York City. Crabapple delves into the shared themes of exclusion, resistance, and the struggle for social justice that unite these two movements across centuries and continents. By examining the ways in which marginalized groups have fought back against oppressive systems, Crabapple sheds light on the enduring power of activism and the importance of learning from the past.
