First Assignment

Aesthetic Evangelist

Three Key Ideas
  1. Exploring interactive community-based projects inspired by social issues
  2. Understanding the "prior community"
  1. Understanding the relationship between the artist and the community
Three Questions

  1. Ideological anchorage- what is this?
  2. Is it a goal of an artist to create pedagogical effects in the community or do these effects happen organically?
  3. Can an “outsider” truly represent a community through art for a community that they are not from and do not represent? I know there is study, collaboration, and form of brand immersion that happens before artist come into communities to work with them, but I feel there is fine line that exists and am curious how people feel about this. In the article they talk about the moment of transference, but I am seeing too many grey areas along this idea of an outsider trying to fit in and create art.

In our history, it seems that prison, or largely the criminalization of African Americans, Black men in particularly, has been used as a tactic of oppr...

Tuition meeting

Speaking point: We have spent over 60 thousand dollars on this school so far, we have tolerated the raise each year. At some point we do not have more money to give and we are pushed out along with all of our debt including interest. With this false start we lack the motivation to attend another school in the future, therefore leaving us uneducated and in debt. Other than the knowledge gained, this would be a waste of two years of my life and in fact sets me back in my career.
