Huey Remixed is an ongoing research project that investigates how remix strategies are used in design, art and visual culture through the reproductions and appropriations of the iconic image of Huey P. Newton in a Rattan Chair.
In this section, you can find the collection of found footage, annotated by date, place, subject, author and medium, and often accompanied by more images, information and references.
“On May 2, 1967, thirty armed Panthers […] went to the Californian State Capitol in Sacramento to protest the Mumford Act, that repealed a law allowing public carrying of loaded firearms.
