Rise Against have revealed the details of a new fan-driven art initiative, which is showcased in a new music video for their track ‘Ricochet’.
The A.R.T. Project (All Rise Together), at its core, invites fans into the band’s creative process, one they have developed over the last 25 years. A way of bringing people together at a time when division is rife and reminder us of the almighty power of music in troubling times.
The first instance of the project in action has been revealed via a conversation filmed during an immersive art activation in Los Angeles. Fans were invited to create posters showcasing their thoughts and feelings, which were then displayed and used as a backdrop for the band during a performance of ‘Ricochet’, the title track from their latest album.
It’s an inspiring sight, harking back to how things used to be in the punk and hardcore scenes. People getting to meet at a central point, speak their minds, and share in the solace and serenity of those who feel the same as you do. It’s powerful and personal, something that often gets lost in today’s chaos. And if this is just the tip of the iceberg, the potential for what it could become is massive.
Check out the activation and the band’s performance below.
A series of additional videos will be released over the coming weeks, all leading up to the band’s upcoming headline tour. The dates of that look a little like this.
