Ironic how some people who preach about being compassionate toward the poor are the same people who look down on those who work honest jobs. If you're keen on helping them, befriend them instead of leaking your embarrassing double standards, fake activism, and elitist prejudice.

repost via @instarepost20 from @blackwomeninmotion Posted @withrepost @bydivya If you’re a brand treating body positivity as the hottest new hashtag while selling low self esteem, if you’re a company that treats TimesUp as a gimmick to attract talent with 0 follow through, if you’re an “influencer” using the Women’s March as content for your Instagram and then routinely blocking marginalized voices, if you’re a “woke” fashion label/art store/musician capitalizing on trends from marginalized groups, without paying, employing or representing said groups...fuck you very much.

Reflecting on Social Engaged Art

I have been thinking recently about socially engaged work and relating it towards my own art as well as other people’s art. I have never really thought about socially engaged art as something that can involve everyone-- as something super collaborative. I realized that it isn’t really the artist making the pieces meaningful, the subjects have the same amount of impact as the artist making the work. The social interaction is the art, and raising awareness about the issues the art is portraying is key.

I have briefly dabbled with socially engaged art. I have worked with IRIS (Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services) in New Haven to help create a public exhibition where new immigrant artists were able to exhibit their art, since they weren’t given any platforms anywhere else. This reminded me of platforms and websites such as Project Rowhouses and the Laundromat Project and how they are crucial to give artists exposure and a platform to exhibit their pieces. The immigrants came into a completely new country without any connections, a lot of them coming into the country to leave an abusive family situation. Art, a lot of the time, is relief for them, and being able to create and show their work is very powerful to them, and helps them feel in control. Not only were they able to present their art, they were also able to gain recognition and even some money for selling their pieces in either prints or originals. People were able to talk to the immigrants and they were able to share their personal experiences moving to a completely new country.

I think it is also interesting how the land can be used for socially engaged art. Not only are we able to engage with the environment, we are also able to engage with others on the land we are living in, creating out of complete nature. I think it would be interesting to create exhibitions that involve the nature (not in a way where we need to alter it drastically in a destructive manner).

I think it is important for artists to be socially aware from the beginning of their practice. It just isn’t genuine if you only start producing art raising awareness when you have to, or when something drastic happens and becomes a trending topic. Performative activism is a terrible thing to do as an artist or in general, and people are able to see right through it. You should create because you genuinely are passionate. I want to be an artist that not only makes work that is meaningful to myself but also to others-- I want it to speak to other people and myself and not only educate myself but also other people. Artists such as Amy Sherald, Dread Scott or Leon Golub are examples of artists who tried to show purpose and spread awareness from the beginning of their practice. Dread Scott, especially, was able to make socially engaged art that asks for other people’s inputs, such as his performance piece “I am Not a Man”, where he was able to capture real-life reactions. Starting early on as an artist to be aware of issues is key, and I hope to continue to do that with my work.

"Former #President #Obama said political candidates lose support when using "snappy" slogans like "defund the police," in an interview released Wednesday. You lost a big audience the minute you say it, which makes it a lot less likely that you're actually going to get the changes you want done," the former president said in the interview scheduled to go live at 6 a.m. on Wednesday, according to Axios. "The key is deciding, do you want to actually get something done, or do you want to feel good among the people you already agree with?" Obama added." I'll just say this....I don't often agree with the half-blood Prince, but in this case he's absolutely right. #Democrats are just as protective (if not more) of the #police as #republicans are. They just pander to yall for votes. So they'll let you be sassy, but they have no intentions of defunding or reprimanding the police. But the last question he asked "...or do you just want to feel good among the people you already agree with". That's actually ALL they want. But he knows that and used it to his advantage, so its wrong of him to throw it in your face. But y'all let this white woman's son talk to y'all any ole kinda way.. . #blm #defundthepolice #performativeactivism #blacklivesmatter #fakeoutrage https://www.instagram.com/p/CIVqlVzDehn/?igshid=1s8x84cgqv97p

To fear your ancestors is to fear yourself. It is an expression of self-hatred, giving you and everyone around you permission to treat you, your culture and descendants as disposable. Tell me, could YOU be love? And could you be loved? Self-love is a really complicated story for us folks who identify as Black African. It lies beneath layers of racist indoctrination. Personally, I do not waste much or any energy getting mad about the indoctrination. I prefer to tap into the wealth of ancestral legacy and firmly root my self-concept in that archive of stories. You? . . . Posted @withregram • @odunifehistory Follow @odunifehistory I’ve always wondered about this. Surely I’m not the only one?👀 …And, the ones who have taught us to fear our ancestors have their own ancestors (even the evil ones) commemorated, honored, remembered by way of huge statues and monuments in their cities, town-halls, streets, and high places. What a conundrum 🤔😢 . . . . . . . . . #africanhistory #imhotepfacts #panafrican #odunife #Africa #african #jamesbaldwin #africatotheworld #chakabars #blackhistorians #blackpeoplemagic #blackhistory365 #proudtobeblack #africanunity #unapologeticallyafrican #carribeanpeople #abenafrica #afrocentric #africanculture #melaninmagic #africanempowerment #africanartefacts #west2westmovement #chinuaachebe #narrativesmatter #blackouttuesday #performativeactivism #africanhistory #afrocentric #indigenous #libation https://www.instagram.com/p/CaNf41kBPPe/?utm_medium=tumblr
