I identify as an artist. I see myself as someone who amonge other things needs on occasion to reveal the invisible. This is something I feel I share with the scientist. There are people who believe that love is invisible. But to me love is no more invisible then gravity, or electromagnetism, or the warmth of a fire. There effect of these forces are as apparent as they are taken for granted.

Thank you Dr. West.

if the truth is an effective pesticide, and most artists are an egotistical parasitic invasive species of insects indulging in their business + growth rather than concerning themselves with the plants (society) overall growth (individual rights) + longevity of existence (helping stop wars before they happen), THEN I'll DAMN WELL make it my business to sprinkle some god damn pesticide until these opinionless musicians and artists are forced to speak the fuck up and help us bring change 2survive!

Hmm...who is not called to be an artist is the true art worth doing is the art of living?

.... Sorry, but your voice has no name, no truth, no art, no culture.

Hi Rhonda- I'm posting this for my students in Contemporary Creative Activism.

I'd like to share resources with you and see how you approach your teaching.
