in this week’s reading I learned about the actual meaning behind artistic activism. I had heard this wording before but I didnt know what it actually meant considering I learned about it when I was In high school. art is a way for artists of all kind to express themselves and like it was explained in the reading sometimes its hard to understand them or see their point of view but depending on the arm with sometimes feel how they feel wether is joy or pain, whatever the case might be. reflectin on this readings I understand better that a simple thing can be considered artistic activism. I see a lot of them on my instagram sometimes when artist talk about an active problem through their drawing and I would understand it without even having any words. now days is simple to come up with something and share it on social media and it could be a drawing or video or a poster just talking about a problem you wish more people would know about. back then about 70 or 80 years ago when our ancestors were alive the only way they would see this kind of art would be through newspaper or in a march where people held posters expressing their feelings and how it can be changed. now days with all this technology is so much easier to share with all these social media apps. whenever soemthing is happen I quickly get updated on it because of social media because tons of my friends share it, its amazing how technology can be so helpful when it comes to fighting for a cause. I always loved art but unfortunately I am not gifted enough to come up with something on my own to express my feelings about the situation us women are going through.
