June 11 – July 7, 2025 | Stone Nest, London

Produced by the american vicarious, a Brooklyn-based non-profit arts organization, Fight for America! is a large-scale participatory art installation and tactical tabletop wargame exploring the events of January 6, 2021.

By asking participants to inhabit roles that may challenge their own beliefs, the work creates space for reflection: What does it feel like to defend the Capitol? To breach it? To make strategic choices with consequences for others? These questions are not abstractions — they are the living tensions of a democracy that must be continuously renewed.

The installation features a 1:64 scale model of the U.S. Capitol, 10,000 hand-painted 28mm miniatures, and integrated video and sound drawn from January 6.
