| ART4FREEDOM title: |
Fight the New Jim Crow
|
| ART4FREEDOM meaning: |
This ART4FREEDOM's title refers to the new type of race war, killing Indigenous people, Middle Eastern brothers and sisters, people in Africa and our youth of color here in the United States. The will and power to fight against oppression and racism grows as more young victims are slain simply because they look suspicious and appear as stereotypes. San Francisco and the Bay Area has long been a place of political refuge, artistic growth and social change. I took this photograph while reporting for Poor News Network in at the Million Hoodie march for Trayvon Martin, March 21, 2012 after he was coldly executed buy a man that is roaming the streets. This watercolor depicts the Iconic march that shed light in a storm of controlled media where corruption and greed are the main characteristic of policies, justice and currency. As a daughter of two migrants from Michoacan Mexico many injustices happen before my eyes. The only thing I can do is document and express in paintings the spontaneous reaction to the oppression that is felt by the whole globe. Though we are many, we are all connected, ALL4FREEDOM. This ART4FREEDOM illustrates the parallel between speaking out in hopes of healing and causing change in order to free our souls from the deception and de-humanization that surrounds us. IAM4FREEDOM!
