Power 2016 is a hybrid art-journalism project that is sending a team on site to document and provide commentary on the Republican and Democratic parties’ national political conventions in Cleveland and Philadelphia. In addition to the power2016.net, you can track their progress at The Brooklyn Rail, The Public, and Little Village (Iowa City, Iowa).
