Week 14-
A Genealogy
What changed about your understanding of community-based arts after reviewing this genealogy? 
After this, I had a new understanding of how the viewer receives art is a part of the art itself, the frame in which it is viewed is the art. I cannot believe that a sculpture in a public space could change a mind or hurt/help someone.
I remember the effort it takes to make art is very small but the effort to make effective change is huge.
Performance art has been a part of our history without us even knowing it. A few of these artforms I’m very familiar with.  

What questions emerged for you?
Who is supposed to take responsibility to correct the mistakes of others through art? Why do we choose art as a mode for change?
Who is the audience that listens to artists trying to effect change, and what are the answers to correct “bad art”?
In what ways are law enforcement and artists similar?
What’s an example of art that has a very negative impact, Not just an obstruction of someone’s day to day habits?
Who has the right to offer change to someone whose less fortunate?
Why do people listen to a group of artist rather than just one measly artist.
How am I supposed to value my virtual education the same as a kinesthetic experience?

What new connections became clear? ​
I learned what a diverse world of art for the community exists. There is a large connection of artists that create work after a catastrophe or even as something informational that tells you about something maybe you didn’t know existed.
In-equality will always exist, the same way hierarchy has been established in nature, we have attributed value to humans, Just like we established which flower is nicest.
If we truly were all the same, it would kill us. You cannot say you are equal to anyone. Ever. With art you can express feelings, but also try to get someone to feel the way you do about whatever. Hopefully one day everyone’s an artist. I believe there are different modes of communication, and one is art.
