In my art work I wanted to show the difference between slavery and freedom. The cotton represents slavocracy. In 1860, slave labor in the United States produced over two billion pounds of cotton per year. The chains show that slaves were not free. I represented democracy with the 3 branches of government: Executive, Judicial, and Legislative. The signs shows the power of voting in a democracy.

Artist Statement
For “New Era? Or not.”, I wanted to incorporate my love for animals with the overall theme of Democracy vs. Slavocracy. Illegal wildlife trade has been an ongoing issue for the past decades. In many ways, animals are the “unheard voices”; the ones held hostage; and slaves that are present for the sole purpose of human entertainment.

This piece of artwork was made in 2021 but happened in 2020. my artwork is trying to send a message that means we should stay home and stay safe because if we don't we will get sick and possibly die like others who already caught covid-19. my overall vision is that people will understand how much covid can affect your life and that people will understand my message. This artwork relationship to democracy versus slavocracy is that the top lawyer represents slavocracy which means that corona is taking over the people in the world and it is killing people. so, this artwork shows  democracy versus slavocracy.

My artwork shows James Madison and a (woman) slave. Like most men during the late 17th century, James bought slaves, abused them and sometimes even raped them. The woman in the mirror represents how awful she was treated and thats why she was constantly “broken”. This relates to slavocracy and democracy because as a slave she could not stand up for herself and was treated like an object. James is an example of democracy since had full charge and the freedom to do anything he wished to the slaves. No one perceived him as a bad person because back then it was normal.

My artwork shows the difference between Democracy and Slavocracy. It shows a flag of Modern Day America and also shows a flag of the Confederate States of America from the year 1861. I made this to show how time has progressed over time and how democracy is the true American way. This artwork shows the difference because modern day America is a democracy but the Confederacy was a slavocracy.

My vision was to show how the 13th amendment ended one kind of slavery but transitioned to a new form.  I used black and white, because there should be no gray area when it comes to justice and the red is for the blood that is on the hands of America for unjust treatment of any group.

My project was based in 1865
It’s about how fast the African American just had to adapt to the new life. It shows a girl falling because it felt like everything moved so fast that she was falling between worlds. In this it shows a presidential debate for democracy. In contrary for slavocracy it shows the cotton fields with the soil stained with blood.

My artwork represents the black lives matter protests that took place in June 2002 after George Floyd's death being silenced on social media and real life by politics. I wanted to voice that BLM isn't a one time thing, it's a movement that will continue to grow. My vision was to represent the slavocracy in the camera lens as to show what the picture would turn out to be, but instead being covered in democratic photos. The hands on my picture repeatedly say the words "I can't breathe" as to the reference of George Floyd's death

The top half of the drawing shows three different people all receiving the same thing, showing that they are equal, which is representing democracy, but the bottom half of the drawing shows someone drinking wine (A slave owner), while someone else is drinking dirty tap water (A slave) showing that they are not equal, which represents slavocracy.

1700's and my vision is showing how Black people was out their working all day and the White people is just in their take pictures and stuff. The relationship is that we are barely clothed and they have whole uniforms on so they are the democracy and the Black people are the slavocracy.

In 1795 is when Sally Hemmings is expected to give birth to her first born with Thomas Jefferson. Sally Hemmings represents slavocracy, which is a political order that favours land and slave owners. Thomas Jefferson represents democracy, where everyone has a vote and no-one is preferred over the other. Sally Hemmings’ layer is above Thomas Jefferson, showing how in the 1700 (and leading into the 1800s) slavocracy was what our government ran on.

The time period was in the 1800s. The top is the slavocracy where it shows how slaves were treated. The bottom half is democracy and how it shows that everyone was equal but in reality they were not.

This picture is showing the difference and it’s explaining how democracy is coming together and their like a group fighting for what they want. But slavocracy is showing that their in pain and it’s a group of slaves coming together and it’s a ruling class.

Slaveocracy is when slaves are coercing the decisions of white males in charge. On the other hand, democracy is when everyone that can vote has a say in what’s going to happen.

2021 my overall vision is to show the White House and the Capitol which are my democracy and a lot of people suffering which is my Slavocracy because of the events that has occurred in the following year with concerns, and controlling with the Capitol and the White House.

On the top left, there is a white man with privilege and an american flag behind him. The american flag represents America which strongly uplifts and supports the white man while leaving the black man oppressed. This makes the whie men of America pressed. In the bottom left, there is a black man who is equally capable of doing what the white man could do, if not, better. But the black man doesn't get a chance. He is  sitting on a stool with his head down, fiddling with his fingers while the white man stands proud.

" A more equal and colorful future. A more diverse Supreme Court Justice."

In the Supreme Court Justice, there are only two women, and one black man out of the 9. The rest are white Americans men. In the future, I hope that it will be more diverse with different religion.

My vision was for slavocracy was to be the wall being built and democracy being the person sitting on the wall, basically showing trump getting his wall built by someone who can’t come across it and then trump sitting on the wall.

My Art represents how white men during the 1700 and 1800, thought African Americans were absolutely nothing. They didn’t care, or think a single good thought about us. We were probably even just there little Pokémon cards to them. My piece represents how some people weren’t good under a cover. The founder fathers at the bar enjoying a drink are the people who have a say in what goes on, and the slaves working the field in the back represent what wasn’t able to be said. The people at the top were supposedly “representing them”.

What I drew happened in 2020 and the point of my artwork was to show how on tv they make America look great how there are no problems and because of that lot of people what to come here thinking that it is perfect. But then when you come here there are a lot problems a big one of them is racisms. How my images represent Democracy versus Slavocracy because the little boy is watching the T.V. it is showing all of the good thing about America it not showing what's really going on and showing that it is a democracy. But when you come to America you see the racism and how cops treat black people wrong and that is why in 2020 there were a lot of protest going on and it is almost like we are in a 21st century of slavocracy because cops and some people what to still treat black people like they are not human.

My artwork is basically showing what’s going on behind the laws and enforcements in 1776 or around that time period. Mainly white privilege people who would hide the truth behind closed doors. The relationship between slavocracy and democracy in my art work is
showing less privileges that black individuals had to go through and being hidden away from the government which is representing the fist in my artwork.

I drew the beginning of slavery and the differences from then and now. I wanted to make the sense of the picture kind of scared or threatened by the people covering up the past.

The drawing I made is to depict the year 1765 when the American revolution started the meaning of the drawing is to show how the Americans wanted to be free from Great Britain and have there freedom and its called the hypocrites because while they want to have freedom they also want to keep slavery and take away there freedom something they were fighting for.

In the picture i drew a person speaking and i wanted that as democracy because the person was chosen by people to represent them and on the bottom i drew someone being sent to work because they where a slave.

My art shows a woman trying to crawl through a rip in the canvas and a man trying to cover it up. It represent how women do a lot of important thing but are often overlooked, even in our modern society women still get paid less than men.

January 6, 2021 the government was put into a compromising position when angry rioters decided to storm the U.S. Capitol Building. This displays Democracy vs. Slavocracy because the U.S. Government is a democracy and I consider the riot and event of slavocracy because the rioters were manipulated and violated by themselves and President Trump.

2017-Today, and it explains that China is the “democracy” and the second layer is the uyghur flag which represents slavocracy because millions of Muslim uygurs are held in concentration camps in a autonomous region in China called “Xinjiang” The vision is supposed to be that China is hiding a secret from us, and that they want people to be anonymous about how they’re putting helpless souls in concentration camps, because of their ethic identity.

The time period is modern day, my vision was to show the protests of voting and black lives matter protests. The vote signs are for democracy and the BLM signs are for slavocracy

I drew Hamilton, he did not own slaves but bought them sold them. Occasionally he would give the slaves as gifts to relatives and friends. Hamilton was born in 1750s the exact year is unknown and died in 1804.

How this is related to Democracy Vs Slavocracy is that these huge statues of them are looked as the greatest presidents representing Democracy and the Slave getting whipped still even when George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were in Office and didn’t care that they were possibly being killed. So this artwork tell us that people with no knowledge about the past can think that these people didn’t do anything wrong while the real truth is they did nothing to abolish slavery.

I did it digitally but the concept is the hand is pretty much a puppet master and in the democracy side the hand has a lgbtq and blm flag which represents power in the people and the slavocracy side the hand has a american flag for power in the government/presidents.
