slavery and war movements Question 2 Kehinde Wiley The context in which he created the message was during slavery and war movements. Being from the USA were slavery, the Second World War had just ended, and being a minority group (Africa-America), his artwork was a demonstration of himself and the poor background which he was brought up. He shares the same religion that I am from. Kara Walker Walker’s message on his art was created at the time or racism and was all about race. Being from the minority group (African-American) and from a less fortunate background, her message did create a new view over racism.

What makes hip hop an effective kind of political music in Guatemala? Hip-hop has been used for decades as a form of expression against oppressive government policies that seek to deprive the minorities of the fundamental human rights. In Guatemala, hip-hop has taken a similar step where the native locals have adopted the use of hip-hop as a way of expressing their concerns with the government of the day. According to Tamayan, marginal urban zones that separate through social structures in terms of wealth is what leads youth to identify with hip-hop in Guatemala (2). The need to pass down their culture to the younger generation has prompted hip-hop musicians to dig deeper into their pockets to achieve this critical step. The culture of the poor Guatemalans has been oppressed by the majority who have, in turn, alienated them from their land. Floreceras Guatemala, by Kin-Lalat, is an excellent example of how music plays a part in Guatemala (00:02:40). Hip-hop in Guatemala has been a result of political segregation, which has forced the minority communities to lack a voice in…
Punks music I feel biased against the punks. The punks started as a reaction against the idealism, aesthetics and music of the 1660s hippie movement. This culture is characterized by loud and aggressive music, prioritization of individual freedom and views that are anti-establishment. Punks have a wide variety of their fashion, ideologies and expression. Punks music is very abrasive. They have a preference for shitty venues with a principle; the shittier, the better. They have their shows in basements that are broken and stairs that can collapse anytime. During the show, pent up emotions are let out, and people break whatever they can get their hands on. Substance abuse is at times part of a punk scene. Punks can be very intolerable and offensive. They wear clothes with deliberately offensive messages. Their hairstyles are multicoloured and spiked into Mohawks The primary source of this bias is by observation when I first learnt about the punks, everything about them was radical. From their abrasive music, wearing offensive clothing. It seemed odd for people to attend a punk show. Despite looking…

There are movements inside that bag “There are movements inside that bag!” shouted a lady from a distance. Those are the words I captured as I strained to open my eyes without success. My whole body felt weak, hurt, and the head too heavy to lift. At last, my eyes opened, but I could see nothing other than total darkness. “Where am I?” my mind wondered. I tried lifting my arms, but they were too heavy and painful to lift. However, I could feel I was inside an enclosed space, but I could not see any apertures despite straining my fatigued eyes. My head ached so much that all I could think about was screaming at least to frighten the demons who could be dancing inside to give me a few minutes of relief. “Keep a safe distance,” a commanding voice boomed. I strived to find an opening of the bag, but the crowd outside kept panicking with my every move. I felt scared and helpless, but I was determined to find a way out of it. As if a…

Proposal for an Essay on Vito Acconci and Joseph Beuys: Controversial and Dangerous Performance Art Marina Abromovich, a renowned performance artist, clearly elucidated the big difference between performance art and theatre. Unlike theatre, where a show can be repeated over and over in almost the same manner, performance art is a one time show. What’s more, whereas, in theatres, the knives and the blood are fake, in performance art, everything is real. The one question that often arises when it comes to performance is the limits the artist is willing to stretch. The above includes how gruesome or outrages the return will be in front of the audience. However, the range of performance art is extensive, and not all shows take it to the extremes. Vito Acconci and Joseph Beuys are two artists who were willing to subject themselves to outrageous and dangerous zones to open our eyes and speak to our consciousness. Vito Acconci, an American performance artist, is perhaps popularly known for his 1972 “Seedbed” performance. A performance that has left tongues wagging for decades. The artist…
