It is necessary to shed a light on
the issues discussed in this text. The dense information provided has evoked a
new way of thinking for potential artists or community developing entrepreneurs.
To avoid future catastrophes we first have to fight the present destructiveness
of our society. Without clearing out our path we will face major problems for
our generations to come. Using art as one form of medium to recover our
contemporary issues is a light hearted and uplifting approach to any damaged
and scared community. It is true that many people live and breath in the same
area as we do, yet feel strange, alone and alienated from quality life, a
feeling of belonging and a sense of security. Why is it that we have these life
components yet others are struggling to even find them? It is because no one
has let them, no one has said its ok. It is theirs as well.
The
reading made a great impression on me, being that I a am an immigrant myself.
Back in middle school I wish there was such a thing as an alien staff, or
technological equipment for me to analyze, put together and express my self
through. But there wasn’t. My thoughts, my feelings and opinions were kept to
myself, being that when exposed, seemed strange, unwanted and not comprehendible
by those around me. If I could show my environment where I had come from and
where I was going, maybe then they would respect and integrated my into their
lives, in belief that I had something important and beautiful to offer.
Interrogative
Design provides a beautiful bridge to expose the wound while healing it. An
audience does not realize their own selves until they see themselves exposed
and liberated by their own thoughts and experiences. The exposure that art can
create should be overlooked. A reason to stumble along your path and realize
who you are, your own strangeness, your place in the now and in the future not
only will create a better life for yourself, but will influence generations of
communities to come. The art has to be honest, relatable and personal to it’s
audience. It shouldn’t be demanding nor offensive, it should be for the viewer
than against. Creating a good environment and positive thinking in a certain
area, eventually grows, expands and influences all around it. Hearing the lost
voices, the invisible people, creates a caring environment that will also
manifest. This reading not only can be enlightening to artists or creative
minds, but to psychologists, politicians, parents, and residents as well
