- Highlight 3 insights that your reading has helped bring to the surface. Use specific text evidence to link your insights.
- One insight is when Downey spoke about doing art with no purpose.
- Another thing, related the first, was when the author was talking about making art when it is detrimental to another human being a group of people is equally, and in my opinion more, terrible as making art that has no purpose.
- The last is when Downey mentioned people not being given credit for their participation in art; like the boys in the photograph from Ghana.
- If you could ask the author 3 questions, what questions might those be?
- What are some possible solutions to stop exploitation of artistic collaborators?
- Is compensation always financial; does compensation come in any form other than material goods and money?
- How would you suggest to educate artists about how to be more mindful when collaborating?
- What applications might this work have to your understanding of an ethical approach to community-engaged arts?
- A point that Downey hits over and over again throughout the piece, is that all collaborative art must be consensual. So I think that always making sure everyone involved in an artistic process is comfortable and happy with the way things are being handled is the first step in that.
- Consider the work we have been exploring this semester thus far. Choose one artist or project that resonated with you. What ethical considerations were in place on this project?
- I think that The Roof is on Fire is an interesting piece to look at regarding this reading. I think that because the creators had the students/performers in a kind of writer role it created an environment where the students had a lot of power. They weren't censored or told to say certain things they just got to talk about what they cared about.
Issues that have been impacting my life and the ones around me mainly revolve around environmental issues. One of the pressing issues that affects the agriculture community in California is the State’s distribution of water. Now a tactic that the State Government has had for many years is to take water from Northern California and send it down to the South. The south is in need of water as they do not get enough to support themselves, but the issue is a bit larger and encompuses the states refusal to create more reservoirs to store water to be used during the dryer months. But the main issue is that the focus is uneven and falls heavily on the side of sending it to the south instead of distributing it evenly so farmers in all regions but mainly central and southern california have the proper amount of water to grow their crops. California is one of the leading states in the production and exporting of agriculture products due to our vast and wide scale of geological environments, but ...
