Art as Social Conscience. Idea of art as a tool to create social change and also how art has created forceful responses and been

As an artist committed to racial and economic justice, it can be difficult to navigate the arts and activism worlds. They can range from a pressure to abandon history and have beauty be “apolitical” to a pressure to be outright, literal and dogmatic at all times.
