SUPPORT
We would love any support possible to help recoup the investment of bringing the project to life. If we are fortunate enough to raise more than our goal, we will reinvest into the project and purchase more digital displays to expand the reach of the artists and their anti-Trump statements.
EXPANDED PROJECT OVERVIEW
From October 20 - November 20, The End Collective will extend the project to play videos from world renowned artists on key large scale digital billboards at the San Ysidro - Tijuana border (one of the busiest borders in the world) as a direct signal to the Trump administration that we are eager for his reign of terror to end. This phase of the project is in direct partnership with a Tijuana and CDMX based design studio who have worked directly with The End Collective to produce and animate on the project. Both groups share a disgust for Trump’s ongoing racist attacks on Mexico and believe that the people of Mexico deserve better than to be slandered by a man who has failed as a businessman, a President, a husband, a father and at life.

ABOUT US
The End Collective is a California-based art collective founded by the artists KO and Filthy Phil. Together with artists Sleepy Demon and Nakal they built a platform for artists to broadcast their anti-Trump artworks. “Race to the End” is a State of the Nation address delivered from a puppet of Trump designed with a “MAGA VOX” brand TV for a head that displays all artist submissions. The experience is set in an immersive replica of the Oval Office constructed at historic Mack Sennett Studios (Charlie Chaplin, Mabel Normand) in Hollywood. Beginning on October 1st, 50+ different artists will present their works via a 24/7 broadcast live streaming on 25+ platforms (Twitch, YouTube, etc).
Additionally, with Trump doing everything in his power to push the country into a tin-pot-dictatorship, we felt an obligation to create a compelling platform that offers artists a chance to exercise their freedom of speech and to encourage everyone to vote out 45 in November.
ARTIST STATEMENT
“Every joke is a tiny revolution”
George Orwell, Funny, But Not Vulgar. 1945
Orwell believed that humor and satire have the power to “bring the mighty down from their seats.”
That same belief holds true today. Now more than ever, we need to knock corrupt men like Donald Trump from their chairs. His negligence has caused immeasurable harm to the United States. And as he threatens to take away more of our rights each day, we will fight back with merciless art that tears at his fragile ego.
The End Collective created “Race To The End” as a platform for artists to exercise their freedoms of speech and expression. We watched as the news and media platforms of our day suffered from the same unwillingness to “upset the established order” that Orwell identified in Britain at the time. The consequence of these weak media personalities unwilling to clearly condemn Trump’s overt lies and falsehoods was the rise of a charlatan from reality TV to the Presidential stage. His abuses of power are staggering, and yet few are willing to say what we’re all thinking.
We won’t relent where the others have failed. Our satirical broadcasts exist to expose the flaws and weaknesses of Donald Trump and every other white elephant in the room.
At a time when misinformation campaigns and censorship distort what the public hears, we feel it is our duty to create a new political broadcast that clearly and unapologetically illuminates the faults of these evil men.
So tell your friends. And tell your enemies.
We want everyone to hear.
Because Orwell was right.
“The bigger the joke, the bigger the fall.”
