“And if I haven’t fought for my country at least I’ll paint for her,” stated Delacroix while painting Liberty Leading the People which helped the diverse groups involved in the French Revolution see themselves as a people united in their efforts against their own 1%. The painting later inspired the gift of the Statue of Liberty to the United States.
Because artists, musicians, and creative individuals often shape how we see the world through their own vision, it is important that they participate creatively, lend their voice in imagining our future. Medium can be mightier than all the swords!
From Street Art to its cousin the mural, poster art or comics, music or performance art — each can communicate what words co-opted by politics and advertising cannot.
