Expanding Worldview: Global Injustice and Disparities

There were specific sections in museums that I saw that related to global injustice and politics.


In this collection, political issues and social issues are confronted. Starting in the 1940s through present day, artists confronted the issues of their time. They did this to create more equality throughout culture. The history is labeled incomplete because the history is still ongoing. There was actually protest within the walls of the Whitney Museum. There was an exhibition called Biennial that was closed in June 2017 due to controversy.
I know that this topic is a touchy one. But I can appreciate the dedication in individuals when it comes to fighting for equality. Expressing it artistically, in my opinion, makes it all the more powerful. It makes you think. It makes you stop and look. That's what happened to me. I spent so much time looking at the pieces in this exhibition that I kind of lost track of time.

I believe this because the United States is full of people with different backgrounds, so I believe it brings a large amount of ideas to the table...

What It Means to Be a Designer, Artist, Lover of Art, or a Patron

I think the meaning of being a designer, artist, lover of art, or a patron applies to the question: What Is Art?  What I mean is, it can have a similar answer. Art can be defined in many different ways by people. Everyone has their own style, their own uniqueness in art. Or they can be inspired by other artists. I believe the same applies here. Being a Designer, Artist, Lover of art, or a patron can have a series of different meanings. My meaning of this will obviously differ from others.
