While reading this week’s readings I realized that there are many ways the activism could be shown through paintings. Why Artistic Activism: Nine Reasons by Stephen Duncombe and Steve Lambert was a great read because it emphasizes the difference in how artistic activism looks like in some scenarios such as political activism by acknowledging that political landscape is also a cultural landscape it opens to many innovative ideas of expression or scraping and wiping out what we thought of politics. Out of the whole reading that was the subject that enlightened me the most because it was a new way of thinking of two subjects that most really put together such as art and politics. As for 10 Female Performance Artists You Should Know, from Ana Mendieta to Carolee Schneemann by Karen Chernick, it provides new information on artist that I did not have much knowledge about. To be honest I am not really an art person, nor do I proclaim to have knowledge on interpreting what the artist is trying to say in the painting, but I do observe and like certain artist work based on color and what I can understand from it. Provided with all these amazing artists in the article with some information on what type or painting they use to express themselves and what they experience, to me Ana Mendieta’s “Silueta Series” (1973–77) was one of my favorites. Overall, I enjoyed this week’s readings and will be looking into artistic activism more and the artists who share their experiences and thoughts on matters surrounding artistic activism.
