Behold the essence of the Yes Men. Touch the exquisite fabric. Feel the realness. Smell the Goodwill. Do you see the men in these photographs? Those are faces that say, “We were born to speak at your corporate event. Where’s the bar?” In these suits, our men have waltzed through security, marched up to podiums, and dazzled astute executives with the promise of plutocrat heaven. Classy Suits and Totally Authentic IDs: The Mark of Yesmennery®.

We gathered on Wednesday, April 20th, for the opening of "We're Screwed! The YesMen's Greatest Hits," an exhibition that will ignite your laughtivist tendencies for years to come. Unless you're an unrepentant tycoon. In which case, consider yourself warned. #NSFWallStreet

5:00pm | Film Screening | The Yes Men Are Revolting
In their third film, the Yes Men’s mid-life crises threaten to drive them out of activism forever—even as they prepare to take on the biggest challenge they’ve ever faced: climate change.
A Q&A with the Yes Men and reception followed the screening.

7:00pm | Exhibition Opening | We're Screwed! The Yes Men's Greatest Hits
Drawing on 20 years of laughtivist actions, this multimedia exhibit celebrates some of the Yes Men’s greatest hoaxes, including video, costumes, props, fake business cards, angry letters from corporate lawyers, and other gems from their personal archives.
