Susanne lacy (Woman Fight Back - 3 Weeks in May)

https://www.sfmoma.org/watch/suzanne-lacy-women-fight-back/ Making a map

rape map by state police (associated reported and unreported rape)
Show issue of violence, challenge media portrait victim of sexual violence
- MY TAKE: but by showing this, would it reinforce the idea that women are vulnerable?
- wouldn't the movement agitates conflicts between gender?

Emory Douglas

print shot -> graphic design
portrait police as a pig becomes a symbol
MY TAKE: art as an education can also be agitation
it can spread without context -> meme causing harm to the black society (protests turn into violence)
Yes, art can be more accessible than text, but it can also be more misleading than text (because )
- "it is a provocative interpretation, but is not a distorted interpretation"

MY TAKE: The issue is: you have been born to a country that is not yours (meaning we need to have black representative in higher position - and a great percentage of them, so that black people will not need to act for white people)

class struggle: capitalism prevent social movement

Poetry is Not a Luxury

Poetry help express emotion
White father does not limit the audience of poetry (women)
Poetry gives women power to feel. It should not be a luxury.

Audre Lorde Adrianne Rich interview excerpts

Poetry:

good for express anger and irony because they need interpretation and the verse is not direct to un-targeted audience.
Revolutions start with poetry and artwork - forms of indirect expression.
