It´s a declaration of war to war itself. It portraits the pain and the suffering of the spanish population during the spanish civil war. Beyond the art itself, today its a symbol of anti-militarism and freedom of the human-being.

jose_pedro_quinta — 2024-04-08 12:12:05 UTC

Iconic surrealist painter Salvador Dali was often inspired by war. He completed this work between the Spanish Civil War and WWII. It shows a disembodied head. The empty eye and mouth sockets are filled with smaller skeletal faces. In the sockets of those faces are more faces. Snakes coil around the head, which sits in a lifeless desert. The repetition of the ghastly faces speaks to the cycle of grief and pain caused by war. While many war/anti-war paintings show specific events or battles, this work represents their emotional toll.

Nakamura covered protests on the U.S. military bases in the mid-1950s. In the small town of Sunagawa, the U.S. military planned to take land to extend the airplane runway. This order would have evicted over 100 families from the land their ancestors cared for. Naturally, the farmers protested, attracting the attention of student groups and labor unions. Sunagawa #5 depicts the protesters and police locked in violent conflict. A small priest stands at the center of the painting, facing the police. The “Sunagawa Struggle” would continue for years. In 1968, the military canceled the runway expansion. In 1977, the entire base was given back to Japan.

Nova York, EUA - The problem we all live with (Norman Rockwell)

The painting was originally published in 1964 in Look. Rockwell had recently left the Saturday Evening Post, where he had worked for decades. The publication restricted political themes, so Rockwell went to Look. The piece shows 6-year old Ruby Bridges in 1960. As a black girl going to an all-white school, deputy marshals escorted her for protection. The presence of smashed tomatoes, the initials “KKK,” and the N-word on the wall heighten the tension. From July-October 2011, the painting hung in the White House at Ruby Bridges’ suggestion.

Barbara Jones-Hogu was a co-founder of the African Commune of Bad Relevant Artists (abbreviated as AfriCOBRA). This collective incorporated Afrocentric aesthetics and perspectives. The screenprint “Unite” depicts black Americans raising their fists, a symbol of black power. Strong and solemn, the figures represent boldness and determination. The word “unite” crisscrosses above and through the figures.

Tamluk, West Bengal, Índia - Death of Hereos (Anirban Mishra)

"Children need a good education to grow and contribute to our society; however, many children are treated as labour. From childhood, they break bricks or work as laborers, instead of getting an education which is their human right. As an artist, I have always wanted to speak against child labour. The facial expressions of these children show that they are tired. They are holding books in their hands to represent that they want an education, have big dreams, and want to live a good life. On the right side of the painting, some children are being attacked by persons in authority. It is violence against child laborers." - Said Anirban

This piece is meant to put forward the message of empowering the African woman with the technology that surrounds her. The idea for this piece was mainly Afro-Futurism, in the sense that women in technology are real agents of change. They can contribute massively to development by providing solutions and new perspectives to existing challenges.

Human rights are currently trampled and forgotten by the great powers, leaving underdeveloped countries in exile and crushing the true cultural wealth of each of these lands, in addition to growing inequality factors that currently prevail. Although there is no equity, neoliberalism will not be able to surpass the acquired treasures of cultural inheritance, identity and roots.
