A mural found on the Crane Community Center in Philadelphia's Chinatown.

Some of the elements featured include: A Crane, Lion Dancer, Dragon Boat, Pipa (Stringed Instrument), Monkey King, Asian Textile Patterns, Swallows, Paper Cranes, Etc.

Represents and preserves symbols culturally significant to the surrounding Asian communities.

This mural proudly showcases the collective culture of the community.

Similar to how Allen describes the preservation of personal history through journalling in The Notebook, communities or cultures leave behind remnants of what is significant to themselves at the time in art across their communities.

This art work shows the memory of George Floyd through art that has been put on a wall. It shows who he was and to never forget.

It represents a sense of place by showing what happened and made people all around the world not forget what happened by protesting the tragedy.

Bringley says that art serves as an anchor by helping you remember a memory.

The funerals start out with sad music but end with happy music. Since music is rooted in New Orlene's culture, people play the music to reflect their ideas about death and that it should be a celebration of life. In death, everyone had traditions/ways of honoring someone after their passing. For Bringley, after his brother's death he started to notice art more and pay attention to the details of artwork that his brother loved.

The Wind Cave is a sacred site for many of the Lakota people, as part of their oral tradition of creation stories. Many believe that it's the Pte Oyate, where they emerged from inside Mother Earth and became Common People, also known as Ikce Wicasa.

The Wind Cave is a site of great spiritual significance for the Lakota peoples as their creation place. Their old practice consists of taking care and leaving sacrifices tied in cloth. The caves are physically preserved by the national parks/ US government meaning that people and business cannot alter the site whatsoever. Preserving their sense of place literally by monitoring the people coming in and out.

It can help bring people together. By having art it can help form a community that can grow by interpreting the art and understanding it. The art can serve as a happy place and boost everyone's mood. Depending on the art it could be reflective of their home and can help make them feel more comfortable in the new area.

Art can promote a sense of belonging as well as resilience from a tragic event. Memorials tend to speak to people in a different way than other kinds of art and gives a different perspective. This really makes them feel for their communities and reflect on that particular event as well as who was affected. They also might focus on how to create change. This art might inspire protests and unity which absolutely preserve place.

I looked into the 9th ward mural the was created by student at Eternal Seeds. The mural aims to show children that there is a bright future ahead in New Orleans. This mural addresses many points in time from pre-Katrina, during Katrina, and post-Katrina and this mural represents thousands of lives. In chapter three of All the Beauty in the World, Patrick used art to cope with and overcome the loss of his brother, in a similar way New Orleans used art to overcome a natural disaster.

Similar to how many point to the creation of paper and the increase in popularity of keeping personal writings as the beginning of a new age of art and literature, the Lakota people look to the Wind Cave as the creation of their people.

1. The Wall was not enough on its own to stop escapes. It was also guarded by armed soldiers who were ordered to use weapons if they were unable to stop escapes.

2. Because the guards were placed on the wall, people were no longer being separated by an inanimate object. Therefore, the division became more personal because it was guards shooting citizens. This solidified their sense of place, being on one side or the other.

3. When Michael of Rhodes started sailing, he was at the lowest spot in the hierarchy, as a crew member. Progression was competitive, and his sense of place in reality was low, while in his own mind, he believed his sense of place had more meaning.

One way that art can preserve place for when people are displaced is that it can remind people of their core values. For example, if someone was feeling displaced, they might look at a piece of art that could ground them and remind them of their past, a time when they may have felt not as displaced. You could have looked at a painting a couple of years ago and after a while you go back to look at it and you can reflect on what has happened during that period of time and connect people to previous emotions. Art can consistently the same, with similar emotions that can guide someone's feelings.

Art can preserve place when people are displaced by serving as memory. This creativity can document what was once lost, as people leave homes and stories to capture the daily life once there. This allows future generations to experience a certain place and have that sense of belonging. Art protects identity and is a living testimony that allows you to stay connected to where you may have came from.

1. During a funeral rite in New Orleans, two grand marshals with proceed while a group of people with trumpets, trombones, saxophones, and other instruments play jazz music behind them. The music starts out melancholy, but then the tempo switches towards the end of the procession to an upbeat tune.

2. New Orleans' culture is heavily influenced by jazz music, and they use jazz not only to mourn the person's death, but also celebrate their life and culture. During segregation, there were not many things for African American people to be happy about; they started this tradition to remember the person who died in a joyful way and also to help lift the spirits of everyone.

3. This relates to Bringley because following his brother's passing, he began to view the world in a different light after he became a security guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This led him to find joy in art and allow it to heal him after his brother's death.

When people end up being displaced, many resort to using art as a way to communicate or share stories. Art has been a tool in order for people to remember, as we see portrayed countless times during events. Then, depending on the artwork, if it is a landscape, it can represent home or the place they once knew before the events that led them to be displaced. By using artwork, it can keep people connected in tough times, and for many shows, hope for change or help.

Art can represent the origin of any culture. serving as a mark that one group and its culture have been here. Art sets in stone a beacon that can signal to any displaced people that they were once here, and their culture emerged from this point. Often, art has a particular meaning for the groups of people who created it, and this meaning will resonate more with displaced people than with those not connected to the creators.

One way art can preserve place when people are displaced is that it allows them to bring their place with them. Where I lived in Wisconsin had a high population of Hmong immigrants, one way they preserved their culture is that they would wear their traditional Hmong clothing on May 14th (the day the Hmong were evacuated from Laos during the Vietnam war). This practice helped them feel community in their tradition that they brought from their homeland, even though their new home was very much dissimilar to the region they came from in Southeast Asia.

1. This artwork was a form of rebellion against the division of Berliners. It expressed their contempt for the government by transforming a blank stone wall into a work of art.

2. The art brought the community together. Everyone was angry about the division and this work connected the communities through art and color.

3. This art represents the people of Berlin trying to gain control over a situation they had no control over. Similarly, Michael of Rhodes tried to gain control over his life by journaling and documenting his adventures.

Art can capture a moment in time. Depending on where you were during the time shown, the art can take you back into that place. Art can preserve a community and its values, as well as its history and achievements. All art speaks to people in different ways, possibly as a memory, making them feel recognizable emotions; these emotions can give hope, joy, sadness, and remembrance.

Art can help bring others together and form a community where people can interpret art in different ways, yet still have a shared understanding of what it means to them. It preserves a place for people who are displaced by reminding them and bringing back memories of things in their lives that hold important meaning for them, and brings feelings of happiness and other emotions.

Art has brought many people together during hard times. For example, art brought people together during the World Wars and the Great Depression. One thing that comes to my mind is this political cartoon. It shows President Hoover handing a crying baby labeled “budget” to President Roosevelt, with problems like unemployment and farm problems all around. This cartoon shows the struggles people were facing during the Great Depression and how they wanted answers from the president. Art like this can bring a community together to fight these problems as a group. It also shows what life was like back then and helps people remember their community, even if they had to leave it.

Art is an indicator of people and often stays much longer than a group of people/ civilization that made it. In archeology, art is some of the last remaining preservations of a civilization's culture. Our singular puzzle pieces in a missing puzzle. Currently, Art such as murals/ graffiti is a deeper indicator that a group is here to stay. Artwork put on or baked into a wall is stagnant, permanent. All art is political. In the case of BLM the murals and therefore the movement is similarly there permanently.

"What is one way art can preserve place when people are displaced?"

Art is one of the best mediums for preserving culture because unlike written history, which tells an accurate, historic recount of certain events, art allows for an emotional truth not necessarily possible in a textbook. As an example, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the US government developed the WRA (War Relocation Authority) to round up Japanese-Americans, as well as other Asian-Americans, in internment camps out of fear of further attacks and espionage. At the age of 16, artist Ruth Asawa, was separated from her family add sent to an internment camp. Years later, Asawa sculpted a bronze-cast memorial titled the Japanese Internment Memorial to honor those who had been impacted and protest future injustices. Asawa's memorial serves as a reminder for future generations of the tragedy perpetuated by the US government and memorializes a time and place with an intensely complex history.

Art can help preserve place when people are displaced by bringing the community together in support to a similar cause. By creating art during a difficult time it helps to represent the people who lived through the experience. Creating art also gives us something to look back at and that experience will never be forgotten.

I believe that art can help people stay connected to a place even after they are displaced because it can connect us to the identity that comes with the place. Art can connect us to the memory of the place, the. experiences we've had, or even a tragic event. Art preserves our understanding of a cultural identity even when we are removed from the place physically. It can remind us of the place itself or of the emotions and background that we experienced with it.

Art can be one of the best ways to motivate others. Whether the art is on a wall, in a museum, or on the side of a building, it is heavy with memories and meaning. Using the Berlin Wall as an example, the political art created on the wall showed Berliners that hope could be found. One piece of Berlin Wall art that I found very fascinating is the Variations of the Statue of Liberty. I think that this work represents finding a sense of place in any situation. The situations are represented by the colors, and the non-changing figure of Lady Liberty represents the displaced people finding their sense of place again.
