I am Here
No full textWHY THIS SUBJECT? I am bisexual and never felt I could tell anyone because my parents told me I shouldn’t say this until I was older and fully realized my sexuality. It was so hard to hear as a 15-year-old who was so sure about this one thing that seemed to be going right in my life. I am Here is a piece for the kids who are denied the right to come out as they grow up and find out who they are.
WHAT SHOULD WE KNOW? As a repeating pattern, the characters of the background represent the young kids and young adults who were told the exact same thing that I was told when I was younger. I wanted to acknowledge this stigma with a sarcastic approach by using a quote by Francis Maude that says “It is pointless to disapprove of homosexuality and is followed by Help the youth come out.” Colors like pink and red are used in the poster. In the LGBTQ+ community, red symbolizes life. Red is seen in the border of the triangle that will empower protesters to fight for their lives and rights to just being human. Pink is the symbol of a community, including those who are allies, showing that we can all support each other and the kids who are still figuring out who they are.
WHAT WAS YOUR TECHNIQUE/PROCESS? As an inspiration from children’s books, and mostly Dr. Seuss\u27s books, I created a digital illustration of a poster featuring a manipulated rendition of the LGBTQ+ pink triangle. I wanted to show how these essential classic books that defined our childhood (especially 2000 babies and before), there wasn\u27t much teaching about diversity and inclusion seen in what we read because no one truly acknowledged this was a problem at the time.https://digitalcommons.colum.edu/capturingprotest/1100/thumbnail.jp
Death to the Patriarchy
No full textWHY THIS SUBJECT? I was inspired by both the second-wave feminism of the 60\u27s, as well as the radical feminism of today, and their view on the patriarchy. I believe that the patriarchal society as a whole must be dismantled and reformed in order for there to be true equality, snd that gender roles are harmful to everyone.
WHAT SHOULD BE KNOW ABOUT THE WORK? The Death tarot card symbolizes an end, but also an eventual transformation and new beginnings. I chose to incorporate the tarot card because I believe there is an inevitable change that will take place within our society, and this change will bring out new beginnings and transformations.

Back to Normal?
No full textWHY THIS SUBJECT? I was frustrated with the lack of change that the pandemic has brought in terms of broader issues in America.
WHAT SHOULD WE KNOW ABOUT THE WORK? I chose to base the design on a TV guide, because it seems like America is going Back to our regularly scheduled programming
WHAT WAS YOUR PROCESS? I used Photoshop for most of my work, and it will be printed on a Risograph machine.https://digitalcommons.colum.edu/capturingprotest/1059/thumbnail.jp
Protect Our Kids!
No full textWHY THIS SUBJECT? I chose an issue that expands off of environmental injustice, the issue at hand is unsafe drinking water conditions that impact children. I believe the focus on children is a bit more important than adults because the children do not have the knowledge or understanding on why the water would be unsafe to drink
WHAT SHOULD WE KNOW ABOUT THE WORK? I believe the most important aspect to know about the work that this is happening all over the world and not in just certain areas. This is not only impacting children but also is a toll on the environment too. Looking and thinking about my art, I hope one aspects is understood; that the children and earth cannot speak up for themselves.
WHAT WAS YOUR PROCESS? My process was really focusing on the environment, but adding us humans in the aspect as well. Again, focusing on children was very important to me because they cannot yet speak up for themselves. Standing up for the younger generation will only build a stronger foundation for them and our environment.https://digitalcommons.colum.edu/capturingprotest/1071/thumbnail.jp
Black Protest Songs, cover
No full textWHY THIS SUBJECT? I am a Black woman living in a country that hates her gender and her race. The constant state of living in fear is something that the Black race endures on a daily basis. With the rise of police brutality in 2020 to 2021, it is apparent and has stimulated a modern movement, while awakening my own awareness of racism, of a cause that has been around for decades.
WHAT SHOULD WE KNOW ABOUT THE WORK? This piece was inspired by the police brutality that is a part of the Black struggle in America. Although this has been an ongoing problem for Black people since the time of their supposed freedom, my generation is just now witnessing the severity and effects of racism first hand, rather than just hearing about them in textbooks. Racial injustice is now a mainstream topic that has led to the global consciousness of white supremacy along with performative support for minorities. The cover art is composed of images of important Civil Rights figures like Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Huey P. Newton, Rosa Parks, and Angela Davis. The collage also consists of images from past and present Black protests for equal rights. Some of the images included are taken by myself and photographer Taj Stoddart from the 2020 George Floyd Protest in Houston, TX. The theme of Black and White is used to show how racists often view the world as black and white. If you aren\u27t white, you are seen as black and inferior. The red symbolizes the blood lost by Black people at the hands of injustice. The concept of making a CD cover and track list came from the idea that people, especially Black people use art to keep them going. Plus, Black people are at the root of music history in America. Music has always been an outlet for Black people and a way to get their voices heard worldwide while also relating to a community. These songs are dedicated to the Black struggle, freedom from oppression, and the End of White Supremacy. Some of these songs are old and have been passed down for generations, while some are more recent anthems that have fueled my generation. Nonetheless, the fact that songs such as these still have to be made shows how little America has progressed. It makes one contemplate if any race, other than white, will truly ever be free. A QR code is available for those interested in adding the playlist.
WHAT WAS YOUR PROCESS?
My technique consisted of gathering images dealing with black history and black protests. If the images weren\u27t black and white, I used a grey scale effect. From here, I fitted the image onto a virtual poster board that used the same dimensions as an actual CD case. Then, I began adding more effects and duplicating images. The font came with trial and error of what I felt stood out. The background of the back cover was originally going to be white with black words but I started to play around with my color scheme and found that black and red captured the urgency.https://digitalcommons.colum.edu/capturingprotest/1074/thumbnail.jp
