I Want a President (DC edition) involved a series of community writing workshops held at different venues throughout Washington, DC. These workshops and discussions each generated a new iteration of artist Zoe Leonard’s 1992 text piece “I want a president...” The project culminated in the closing event for Creative Time Summit DC: Occupy the Future, a conference on art and social change. Participants convened in front of the White House for a collective reading of both Leonard’s 1992 text piece, “I want a president....” and a final 2016 adaptation of the piece, which focused on current concerns shared by many just weeks before the 2016 Presidential Election.
