The Port Huron Project is a series of reenactments of protest speeches from the New Left movements of the Vietnam era. Each event takes place at the site of the original speech, and is delivered by an actor or performance artist to an audience of invited guests and passers-by. Videos of these performances are screened on campuses, exhibited in art spaces, and distributed online as open-source media.
Performance artist and project organizer Mark Tribe has captured the attention of media giants like the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and New York Magazine. The project initiated in 2006 and continues presently – the most recent speech was delivered earlier this month in New York City.
