Focusing on the anti-art movement of the Sixties, this study delves into the group Black Mask and their tumultuous interactions with the New York art scene. Known for their radical protests against societal issues like racism and colonialism, they engaged in provocative actions, including infiltrating the Pentagon and disrupting high-profile events. Their legacy continued as they transformed into Up Against the Wall Motherfuckers, significantly influencing art activism, the Black Arts Movement, and the Art Workers' Coalition.
