This is an older journal page that I did a couple of years ago about the wall being built by the Israelis against the Palestinians, but it still speaks volumes in today's world.I have been rereading Howard Zinn's book, Artists in times of War the last couple of days, just a few pages at a time, so it will all sink in.
Quote for the day, from Howard Zinn, author of The People's History of the United States
"Today everybody is talking about the fact that we live in one world; because of globalization, we are all part of the same planet. They talk that way, but what do they mean? We should test their claims. We should remind them that the words of the Declation (of Independence) apply not only to people in this country, but also to people all over the world. People everywhere have the same right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. When the government becomes destructive of that, then it is patriotic to dissent and criticize-to do what we always praise and call heroic when we look upon the dissenters and critics in totalitarian countries who dare to speak out." -from Zinn's Artists in Times of War
Anyone interested in participating in a project that "speaks out", that allows your art to "speak" for you? Email me, ok?
