Banksy’s Gaza Murals Are More Relevant Than Ever

In the rubble-strewn streets of Gaza, an unexpected figure emerges - a playful kitten adorned with a sassy red bow. Banksy's kitten, with its wild fur and wide-eyed curiosity, feels like a tongue-in-cheek nod to resilience amidst chaos. It's as if the kitten is saying, "I've got nine lives, and not even this rubble can phase me!" Yet, the ruins around tell a deeper, sadder tale of a city bearing the scars of conflict. In just one image, Banksy manages to capture Gaza's heartbreaking […]

Since the war in Ukraine started, I have been envisioning a glorious rebuild of a free and independent Ukraine. What do you think? Inspired by its symbolism, past and future. This will be in my March exhibition, which is coming up. #Ukraine #independence #artexhibition #democracy #artactivism
On the top are two buildings with a monument in the middle. The streets resemble wheat, and the houses seeds. With fields of crops representing the economy that will help rebuild Ukraine.

1,000 Melting Ice Sculptures in Berlin: A Haunting Warning About Climate Change

In Berlin’s Gendarmenmarkt square, Brazilian artist Nele Azevedo created a powerful art display to talk about climate change. She placed 1,000 small ice sculptures on the steps of the square, each shaped like a person. As the day got warmer and the sun shone brighter, the sculptures began to melt. This showed how global warming is affecting our planet. The event, organized with WWF Germany, focused on how the Arctic’s ice is melting faster than ever because of rising temperatures. […]

It's not about getting everyone to agree with only you since "you're infallible."

Remind people that disagreement exists and is palpable.

Do what you can, of any "amount" or "worth".

You exist, therefore you impact this Earth.

My favorite part of recording this one was chopping spoken word samples. One such source of those samples was a very campy, vintage, pro-capitalism propaganda film. It was satisfying to turn those samples on their head for my own #anticapitalist message of #solidarity and #love. 🙃

#Yemeni #cartoonist - Kamal Sharaf is unapologetic about his bold #political beliefs & #ArtActivism to illustrate his support for the resistance against past & present #ColonialViolence #genocide. He had been targeted, arrested & jailed for his resistance art activism before.

Most of his strongest #PoliticalArt pieces are targeted at illustrating the collaborative colonial land grabs driven #terrorism from #Israel & #Zionists in #USgovernment - both who blatantly violate #InternationalLaws. Both are guilty of multiple #WarCrimes & both aren't to be trusted. Bigoted buddies in ethnic cleansing genocide of Arab peoples. Best friends in pathological pitiful lying.

A political cartoon depicts Uncle Sam, characterized by a top hat and suit, dropping a bomb with a blue Star of David. The bomb is aimed at two flags positioned below: the Palestinian flag on the left and the Lebanese flag on the right. Uncle Sam is shown in a concerned expression, symbolizing military intervention, while an airplane propels him from above, leaving a trail of smoke.The illustration depicts a stylized baby, wrapped in a blood-stained cloth, lying on an oversized book labeled "International Law." A large cleaver, held by a hand adorned with symbols of the United States and Israel, hovers above the baby. Blood splatters the surface, highlighting a stark and unsettling contrast between innocence and violent imagery.The image portrays a striking visual of a large, blood-red silhouette resembling the tree on Lebanon’s national flag, suggesting a pattern of branches, that appears to drip onto a sandy ground. Above, a shadow of an airplane looms, with the letters "U.S.A." and a Israeli star symbol subtly visible on its side, adding context to the imagery. The scene is surrounded by sparse rocky textures, enhancing a stark contrast between the vibrant red and the neutral background.

After winning the #TEDPrize on March 2, 2011, the French #artist JR launched the #InsideOutProject, in his first #TEDTalk. Using his own #artistic practice as inspiration, this participatory platform helps individuals and communities to make a statement by displaying large-scale black and white #portraits in public spaces. Through their “Actions,” communities around the world have sparked #collaborations and conversations.

Over the past decade, more than 500,000 people spanning across 152 countries and territories have participated in the Inside Out Project. Thanks to participants' donations, the project has reached all the continents, with over 2,500 actions created. Actions have revolved around a range of topics: #diversity, #community, #feminism, #racism, #ClimateChange, #education, #ChildrensRights, and #art are just a few of them. Posters are displayed in outdoor spaces that are visible to the public. These #GroupAction #ArtInstallations are documented and shared online.

Second Amendment by Yue Chen.

A striking interpretation of the USA #SecondAmendment by award-winning #ChineseAmerican designer and #ArtDirector at City University of New York, Yue Chen.

Amendment II: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

#ArtActivism #Art #GunViolence #Murica #VisualArt

The image features a man's head with a split-face design, combining a smiling, well-dressed upper half with a somber, serious lower half. Speech bubbles present various contrasting statements about gun rights and safety, including phrases like "Gun safety is of the utmost importance, as it saves lives!" and "No background checks!" The background is a stark red, emphasizing the polarized messaging surrounding gun control. At the bottom, the text "Purposeful chaos is not security" is featured, alongside a reference to the Second Amendment.

The illustration is composed of a large, bright hand in the center, resembling a tree trunk, with an intricate bouquet of flowers extending from its fingers. The colors are vivid, with reds, yellows, and blues dominating the composition against a contrasting purple background. Whimsical figures of various sizes and postures appear throughout the flower arrangement, and a scenic landscape featuring rolling hills and a rainbow is situated at the bottom. Notably, the artist's signature, "Chereskin," is located towards the bottom right corner.

Colonial soldiers,
what have they been doing
to my poetry all these years
when I could have easily killed them
in my poems
as they have killed my family
outside poetry?

Poetry was my chance
to settle the score with killers,
but I let them age outdoors,
and I want them to know decay
in their lives, their faces to wrinkle,
their smiles to thin out,
and their weapons to hunch over.

- Ahlam Bsharat, #Palestinian #Poet / #Writer.
