Reading this week’s articles made me see how even without directly participating in activism, there is always a way to show our support. I feel like the “Why Artistic Activism?” All the points listed were very important to understand why this is done, to be able to open new doors to bring out our opinion in an artistic way. I feel that it is something that has been done throughout all these times. Although it makes me very sad that many people who do artistic activism are silent or even ban their art because a larger entity is afraid of this power. Being that artistic activism, as was said in the article, is peaceful, strong images can be shown but even so it is not physically harming anyone. I would also like to say, that many ancient arts you can see a lot of naked women, and I understand the point of why they perform this type of art. But also, I feel a little bad since in a certain way they focus on unimportant things such as the physical. I understand that this is what art is about, being able to show the outside and being able to give an important message of what really matters, but I don’t know if it is because in the art that I saw these men only portrayed the figure of women and perhaps they exist but giving the figure of a man.
