Let’s use arts to tackle racism !!!

  “Melting woman II”, 24 x24” , Oil on Canvas, 2019 With many schools turning to the arts to tackle racism and diversify their curriculum, let’s see if it will have any impact at all. Being an immigrant from India, I have recently been at the centre of some racist comments and attacks and even lost a job because of that, but I guess “it is what it is!” But, I still have hope that art can bring us together as humans beyond our skin colour and language and many of us think like that !  I put on some Indian” warli” art and in my art class the kid jumped and said that he has seen that art in the “Indian restaurant” and that he loves the dark terracotta colour. The importance of equality, diversity and inclusion has never been more prevalent in society than now with the world becoming a global economy and the internet connecting us together.

Derek Murray and Selfie consumerism in the Narcissistic Age

Murray’s article reminded me a lot of this post, that forced me to ask the question, why do we feel the need to classify Women’s self love as vanity? I...

Amerika (2019)

Jorge Méndez Blake is a Mexican mixed-media conceptual artist. Trained as an architect, the artist builds walls and connects their history to literature. He lives and works in Guadalajara, Mexico. Given the political discourse surrounding walls, immigration, and border security in contemporary American culture, it’s nearly impossible for viewers not to draw parallels between Blake’s installation and Trump’s desire to build his so-called “big, beautiful wall” meant to partition the United States from Mexico. This exploration of barriers as both a cause and emblem of otherness and exclusion appears to address our aspiring autocrat’s longing to shape an American ideology predicated upon nationalism, isolationism, and xenophobia. To this extent, then, Amerika functions not only as a material barrier that blocks patrons’ view and impedes their movement, but it also acts as a metaphor for the border politics and debates that currently occupy our national and global conversati...
