ART CRIME INJUSTICE

 

Art exists for humans to consider the real world in ways that simple objectives views can’t do – from the inside. We cannot ‘Other’ people or events when we see the world through their experiences.

Viewing the world from the ‘Other’ perspective, can teach us something about the roots of violence or the trappings of injustice. Through art, we can interrogate the atrocities in the world. You cannot ignore a tumour (well, you can of course, but consider the consequences).

Through art, we can hopefully gain a deeper understanding about criminal events or use it to scrutinize the injustices that occur daily within our society.  My intention is to use the work of artists to shed light on the darker side of society by engaging the issues critically and with some humanity.
