Themes

Red 76's work centers on the practice of grassroots publishing (both zines small newspapers, and online), conversation, and alternative economies which center on a larger theme of the American Revolution (the 76 in their name references 1776, the year the US independence) and a general revolutionary spirit.

Projects like Ghosttown and Taking Place [5] sought to charge space and create an atmosphere wherein the public may become highly aware of their immediate surroundings, and their day-to-day activities, is an often recurring element within many of the group's activities.
