Statement

The Citizens Defence Commission (CDC) is a street art project aiming to question the values which uphold contemporary capitalist society. The CDC does not seek to convince anyone through its art. The CDC only asks individuals to think for themselves about what they believe in and about the society they wish to live in. 

Influenced by Occupy Wall Street, the CDC began in Montréal during the 2012 Quebec student protests, and can now be found in Montréal, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and New York City - among other locations.
