International Pillow Fight Day

April 4, 2010 By Anthony Washington

A participant takes a hit to the face during International Pillow Fight Day in Dupont Circle in Washington, DC on Saturday, April 3, 2010.

Participants in over 100 cities participated in International Pillow Fight Day. This free, all ages, and non-commercial event is organized by a loose decentralized network of urban playground event organizers around the  world. According to the organizing groups website, one of their goals is to continue to make unique happenings in public space become a significant part of popular culture, partially replacing passive, non-social, branded consumption experiences like watching television, and consciously rejecting the blight on our cities caused by the endless creep of advertising into public space.

In Washington, DC, two pillow fights took place. The first pillow fight took place on the National Mall and the the second pillow fight took place in Dupont Circle. Capital Improv organized both pillow fights in the District.

ABOUT

Ever since I borrowed a camera from a friend of mine eight years ago, I have loved sharing what I see through the lens of my camera with the world. There is nothing better than making somebody feel like they were right there with you. A brief moment in time, by way of photography, can say so much. I hope that these brief moments in time point people in the direction of someplace, something, or someone that they may not be aware of, and that they are curious enough to go see for themselves.
