The title: “Heaven & Hell in the Anthropocene, Two scenarios of Eternity” The artist’s name: Bahia Shehab The project: Part of COP27

I chose this artwork because I think it shows the realistic environment that we are facing. Climate change is an emergency problem globally. We need to pay attention to it and have change to save our living environment. The artists use this installation artwork to present hell and heaven, including the real temperature, natural sounds, and surroundings in each room. The visitors have an authentic feeling when they visit "hell" and "heaven." I feel the project is great because after people visit it, they are told to fold an animal-shaped origami to remind them that the animals are facing this problem. I think this project is very convincing and has the power to make people pay attention to this global issue.

I picked this art work because it shows what really has been going on this issue isn’t getting better it’s getting worse 70,000 people in Texas were thrown in jail for white supremacy, is shows how the environment and decisions are being taken into consideration but not put in motion Black Lives Matter is a decentralized political and social movement that seeks to highlight racism, discrimination, police brutality and racially motivated violence against black people still goes on Black people are always labeled as the victim or criminal just like everybody else so why does a skin color have to be so affective when it comes to trying to live your life.

I chose this art piece because it shows such a meaningful representation of the feminist community even back then. I like how such a small piece of work could mean so much. The installation consists of a large banquet table with place settings for thirty-nine notable women from history and mythology. The settings have gold ceramic chalices and porcelain plates painted with butterfly- and vulva-inspired designs representing Mother Nature, the vagina, and the life-giving properties of being female. The meaning touches so many hearts and this piece is a representation of women's history.

I chose this piece because of what it represents. This piece is based of a prompt answered by over eight hundred + women of different age and ethnicities. With their answers being displayed we can in take a view on the experiences that women encounter, whether it be any type of abuse, racism or overall feeling unsafe in a place that they call home. Women being defined by terms and being downgraded by those around them. It is not always easy to be verbal about what it is encountered, most of the time women tend to stay quiet because they live in fear or simply do not want to be judge because of the words that will come out of the mouths. This piece allowed them to be open, it gave them a voice and they were able to see and read that they are not alone and at times our neighbor may be encountering the same as we are or even worse.

I chose this visual image because it looks powerful just by the structure of it. The Taser, The Lady Liberty. Not sure what it resembles but it's interesting. I know that David Dee the artist was an antisemitic and a conspiracy theorist, but that has nothing to do with my views or beliefs. I just like the picture, nothing further.

I choose this artwork because of how crazy it looks. At first glance, it looks extremely insane, from the plastered on glistening pig heads throughout the painting. It is shocking and was the most eye-catching piece to me in his collection. However, the longer you look at it, the more the message Hung is trying to send becomes evidence. You must get over the inherent shock value in a collage like this. To me, it represents a call to action; a criticism of the richest 1% in the world, specifically in the US. He does so with a busy collage where each section is so much to digest-- from the edited Monopoly board at the bottom, to the cash, and to the motto that lines the margins of the painting, "No bread? Let them eat pie."

I choose this visual art work because this picture describes how people work hard and don't complain about anything they've been through. Such as all the immigrants they work hard to feed their families back in their own countries. I know a lot of UnAmericans who work 2 jobs, they don't get any benefits and get less sleep. In my opinion I think the government should do something for them so they can visit their families. Also, i loved this art Design. it shows all different topics.

"Some Living American Women/Artists/Last Supper" by Mary Beth Edelson in 1972

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this specific artwork due to the religious affiliation and the deeper meaning behind women replacing idol figures. This painting has been displayed in many of my relatives home, as well as mine, and I always noticed there was no women sitting in the table. Mary B. Edelson shows the absence of women in religious and historical art-pieces.

i love this art piece cause it shows how this new age of technology is turning the people of today into phone slaves and that we keep looking down and we slowly turn into a giant lawn. the people that aren't tied down to a phone are able to see above this and prosper and be at peace while those who glimpse of what is at peace will soon return back to their phones. this art piece is what the newer generation of people and kids need to see to be able to live their lives to the fullest. i am personally the one with both sides i can break away from the technology and be able to thrive without the ropes of technology yet somehow being born in the biggest tech city makes me always fall back into the norm of being a tech guy glued to his technology.

Painted by Dutch master Jan van Eyck, this early Netherlandish panel painting is shrouded in symbolism. The elegantly dressed couple are thought to be Giovanni di Nicolao di Arnolfini, and his wife, Costanza Trenta, wealthy Italians living in Bruges. The unusual composition begs several questions. Does the painting celebrate the couple's wedding, or commemorate some other event, such as a shrewdly negotiated marriage contract? Was the bride pregnant, or simply dressed in the latest fashion? And what are the mysterious figures depicted in the convex mirror? The unorthodox placement of van Eyck's signature directly above it suggests one of the men may be the artist himself. I personally went with this piece due to the style of painting and the history behind it. Ive always been fascinated by this kind of art.

Harris is a mixed media artist who created a series of pieces to highlight problems society is facing today. Aside from spreading awareness through Art Harris also mentors at risks youth through art education programs.

I chose this artwork because I find it very relevant and something that has crossed my mind more than a few times. It highlights how we live in a world that can criminalize literal children and prejudge them without reason on the basic of ethnic or racial identity. These are children who have dreams of being doctors, scientists, firefighters, etc but some people in this world will only look at them as criminals. This prejudice mindset gives these children a disadvantage at life and strips away part of their childhood.

I chose this artwork because of how Mary Beth Edelson created a collage based on photographs of Leonardo da Vinci's famous mural, replacing the original man with the head of a prominent female painter. In addition to the purely male club depicted in the artwork, it also addresses the subject of women's common obedience to religion. I am also amazed that the painting quickly became known as one of the most prominent examples of feminist art, supporting the movement's goal of countering the historical underrepresentation of women.

Immediately, when I saw this picture, I rushed to click on it for this assignment. This photo is so heavy for me. To me, it displays the harsh reality of being an intelligent black boy/girl in america. You're seen as a threat. Criminalized and then punished for it. This piece of artwork stands out to me because, as a black man, I've been in countless situations where I've been antagonized by people of different races because they thought I was up to no good, I've been bullied by some of my peers when I showed signs that I have high intelligence, and the list goes on. It can feel like sometimes you can't catch a break. Like you're constantly being shot down with bullet after bullet.

Link: https://fineacts.co/eat-breathe-pray

I picked this project because of the message that shows through the artwork, the artists create a series of gourmet dishes made with pollutants, their message is that what we eat is what we breathe and to sent a support to anti-pollution policies. I also liked this artwork because of how realistic the dish look's like which is made out with pieces of charcoal, scorched plastic, and wet wood chips but what it means to me is to be more open minded with things that are polluted and damaging to our surroundings.

I choose this art piece Bridging and belonging by Teo Georgiev from Finland, because it represents how we need to all work together and not against each other in order to achieve greatness. We should celebrate our differences and how we are all unique and can bring something unique to the table of life. Growing up in a very diverse community I was taught that are differences are why this world continues to thrive.

David Hammons is the Artist who made "How Ya Like Me Now" (1988), The purpose of the project was to during Jesse Jackson's second run for President the people thought that it was an unfair political act.an overtly political act. Hammons goes to say his opinion on the subject of Jesse Jackson's second race as he said, "This was a very on-the-edge experience. I think if Jackson had been white, he would have been elected long ago. I wanted the white community to see that very clearly - basically, how racism in America works." David Hammons showing his part and explaining why he made that artwork to basically say if he was White then he would have won back then.

The future is a piece of artwork that is displayed using 206 light bulbs. The light bulbs represent each of the sovereign states around the world.
I chose this artwork because it represents the issue of the death penalty. Some people who are given the death penalty are innocent. However, there are some people that who are not considered innocent the Death Penalty has been a global issue even though a lot of countries had chosen to abolish the rule. There was a dramatic increase in executions, the article states "54% more than 2014".
On the other hand, the visuals of the art is very pleasing. On a first glance the lighting of the art seems like it provides a very cozy/inviting background however, it expresses the magnitude of the death penalty dilemma.

Title: Freedom for Humanity Artist: Mear One  Painted 2012 

# data[].attributes.body
After exploring as well as researching from the web, one work that caught my attention was the work of artist Mear One. This is a work he painted on the wall with an eye-catching color combination. I chose this work because the picture looks quite unique painted in different ways in detail about different classes along with the photo which has very valuable meaning. I am impressed with the way the artist distributes those details to the viewer. I noticed a man standing holding a placard and holding it up high as a sign of freedom rom the title of the work, the artist is very interested in freedom and peace for everyone. I think this picture is quite meaningful for me and everyone because we wants power and voice in life to have freedom not only for ourselves but also for everyone in the world.
I found this work in The International Museum for Activist Art  from Explore contemporary artist activist sites above. To make it easy for you to find it, here is a link you can click on and view the artwork:  https://www.activistart.org/mear-one/
The work I'm talking about is called "Freedom for Humanity", written by an American artist named Mear One (Kalen Ockerman). It is a piece painted on the wall in Hanbury Street in London and created by September 2012. The above work symbolizes the freedom and rights of all human beings.

A Diary of War & Hope if a project made in collaboration with Fine Acts and Mila Teshaieva, a Ukrainian photographer. It is a war diary, where Mila documents the lives of people she meets in Ukraine. I chose this because this was a very emotional pieces that showed the effects of the war on the people of Ukraine, and because the subject matter coupled with documentary photography intrigues me. To me, it is about hope. It is about seeking a better future, and preparing for a worse case scenario. Some of these people never thought they'd be in a war, let alone take up arms themselves. However, they must do what is needed for their people and in hopes of a free future.

During this time it was 2016 which was when racial injustice was kind of at its highest.

This artwork is by the artists Suzanne Lacy, Leslie Labowitz, and Bia Lowe. It was found by scrolling through this link and it is called 'In Mourning and in Rage'. It was an organized demonstration of grief and rage in light of the crimes of the killer known as the Hillside Strangler. During this demonstration 10 women all dressed in black would come up to the front individually and "announce a form of violence against women to which the women in attendance replied loudly, 'In memory of our sisters, we fight back!'" They were expressing their despair and anger not only for the victims, but for the fact that this culture has allowed this to happen in the first place. This took place in 1977 and, unfortunately, the culture of violence against women hasn't diminished in the way they had hoped.
I chose this artwork because I've recently been becoming more educated in the subject of crime against women. I have found it is something I am passionate about especially because it directly affects me. A significant amount of crime is men committing it against women. Whether he knew her or not, too many men make the decision that all the rage they hold has to be taken out on innocent women he comes in contact with. More specifically, and way too often, she becomes a victim of sexual violence; like the victims of the Hillside Strangler. Nearly 1 of every 6 women in America has been a victim of attempted or completed sexual assault and that baffles me every time I remember that fact. If you were to walk into a room with 6 women you know, be it your mother, sisters, cousins, etc. and there were at least six? Chances are at least one of them has been a victim of this type of crime. It is too common that women become the victims of a man's anger, we shouldn't have to be scared to be by ourselves after dark, nor should we be afraid to dress freely because wearing the wrong thing could provoke a man. With the continued incline of these numbers and happenings such as the recent Roe vs Wade result, it is hard to even feel like our country cares for the rights of women. Every day seems like another reason to pack up and leave. When crimes become heavily publicized like they are in the context of this demonstration, the media often sensationalizes the killer rather than pays respect to the victims. Too often is it his name remembered and his victims names lost in an endless ocean of others just like them.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this artwork because nowadays respect and humanity are thrown out the window due to differences of opinions. Opinions are opinions and should be no reason to de-humanize someone or disrespect someone else. Of course, there are many instances of cases where we should protest about our humanity and choices but not go so far as to lay harm when no acts of violence ever occured to begin with. At the end of the day we bleed the same color and we are of the same species.

The phrase "The place of a woman is wherever she wants to be" may signify anyplace and anything, which is why I chose this piece of art. This has a particularly strong meaning because anytime a woman goes missing, people ask her where she was going and why. Additionally, you can develop into anything, whether it's a career, family, political position, leadership, etc. Women's existence has largely been discussed from the perspective that they exist to serve other people. Our bodies are here to house kids. Our hearts are made to love others. Our thoughts are here to generate concepts with lower economic value.

I chose this piece of artwork because I think that climate change is not only an environmental issue, but a social issue as well. The image shows two different sides. I believe that this is to show that we as humans have a choice to make. The future of the earth could be bright and healthy, as seen on the left, or dangerous and polluted as seen on the right. I think it's important that artists use their platforms to promote the change that is needed.

The narrative Banksy is advising, especially in an area of high tension and dispute, is admirable. With this particular subject, a friendly statement of amity is being pushed; rather than continuing on with disagreement and violence. I feel like most of his art always carries a strong message. This piece really clung to me because I too am a strong advocator for peace.

Initially, I had blanked and I couldn't think of a serious issue. Luckily when I clicked on the website, I saw this image and an issue immediately came to mind. The social issue that I think is displayed through "Perfect Garden" is the submission of the masses through phones or the internet. They do this to us without realizing it since we are too controlled by our phones to notice the possible lying or whatever it may be. We are so fixated on the narrative given to us that we don't even notice we're being controlled and I think those controlling us are represented by the lawnmowers. By the time we notice and peek our heads up to see the truth, I guess you can say we are silenced by the lawnmowers, and no one ever even notices. I also noticed the people peeking their heads above the rest are whistling, which leads me to believe that they are whistle-blowers, which is a term given to people who expose illegal activities. So these whistle-blowers are silenced, and the people on the phones either think their crazy or never even notice what happens because they are mowed too fast to even notice. So I think this art piece is a really clever spin on that social issue.

"Save The Planet" by Asis Percales is based on climate change and the need to do something about it. Percales is an illustrator from Spain and creates artwork with an eclectic art style. His work expresses different stories, backgrounds, and experiences. In this case, Asis expresses the effects of climate change through a cumbia like style. At first glance, I really liked the colors and imagery shown in the art piece. What really had a lot of meaning and stood out to me the most was the cracked, dried out earth being held up by hands. It shows how our planet is slowly dying in our very own hands, however, there yet still has to be very big changes to be done.

This teddy bear reminds me of my childhood and I think it's a beautiful thing so kind of grow up with a teddy bear.

I was drawn to this work of art because of its significance. The Black Live Matter movement raises crucial questions regarding racial injustice inflicted on the black population in the US. But also because US police officers racially profile the black community, many Black Americans are killed by those who are meant to be protecting us. This is why the term "Hand Up Don't Shoot" is used.

I chose this art work because the artists has the same last name as me (Jose Clemente Orozco) and because he was a painter and his artwork inspired me. He  was a Mexican caricaturist who specialized in political murals that established the Mexican mural renaissance. The artists work drew me in when I started to  wonder why the graduates and professors were standing watch in the back ground as if they were judging the birth going on. This stillborn aspect of the baby could represent student who have failed or drop out of the traditional  education system This artwork made me contemplate how we implement early on education and the pressure associated.
