MAGA Fallout is a community art project, inspired by the AIDS Memorial Quilt, that transforms personal stories of harm under the Trump administration into powerful panels. Each panel spotlights one person — yourself, someone you know, or someone you've learned about — and shows how cruel policies impacted their life. Together, these panels create a vivid picture of real experiences, allows people to share their anxiety, rage, or grief, and inspire others to get involved.

How to Create Your Panel
- Choose the Story. Who is your panel about? Yourself, a loved one, or someone else affected? Is it fear of deportations, loss of healthcare, anti-LGBTQ+ attacks, job loss, or other type of harm?
- Decide on Materials. Our panels are 11.7 inches x 16.5 inches cardstock. You can create yours on regular paper as well (as we will attach it to cardstock after you send it to us). If creating and/or sending a panel that size is a challenge, you can also submit a standard 8.5 x 11 inches panel. Any material or medium is fine - markers, magazine cut-outs, paint, tape, pencils, etc.
- Express the Story. Simple or elaborate, abstract or literal: what matters is the story. What do you want others to understand from this panel? What emotions do you hope your panel inspires in viewers?
- Add a Short Description. One paragraph that visitors can read alongside your panel that gives them an insight into the story.
