Today is Tuesday, #Artstr day.

& Our theme and challenge today:

Political ideologies, racism, and the pursuit of freedom

We love to continue with #Artstr and hope you will come along with us on our journey as well. nostr:npub1fv9u4drq4hdrr7k45vn0krqy7mkgy8ajf059m0wq8szvcrsjlsrs8tdz3p and I will meet here every first and last Tuesday of the month and challenge each other. Also, we chitchat about art, and share interesting facts & fictions with you.

Art has long served as a beautiful reflection of political ideologies in the pursuit of artistic freedom. This is something I thought Nostr was first conceived upon. It has now woken up a few white catholic suppressed girls and boys who think they also know what it is all about. (They don’t). Art is the peaceful revolution within our world and always has been. For me artists like Kara Walker confront racism head-on, using provocative imagery to challenge societal norms. Ai Weiwei, through his activism and installations, critiques political oppression in China and beyond. Faith Ringgold's quilts and narrative paintings explore themes of race, identity, and social inequality, offering a powerful commentary on the African American experience. These artists dismantle conventional narratives, urging viewers to question power structures and societal constructs. Through their work, they provoke dialogue, challenge perceptions, and advocate for change, highlighting the interconnectedness of art, politics, racism, and freedom. These are the ways to really challenge freedom and maybe not posting nonsense.

So we would like you to use lots of different mediums, Painting, sketches,photo, cutout, poetry, musical piece, whatever best characterizes your art.

The work must be current, no shit A.I Art please that's the only requirement.

I will leave here just this, a poem and a pic I took, somewhere is Lisbon...already covered with other stories. I would need time...for more...I choose the topic Freedom.

[as freedom is a breakfastfood]

BY E. E. CUMMINGS

"as freedom is a breakfastfood

or truth can live with right and wrong

or molehills are from mountains made

—long enough and just so long

will being pay the rent of seem

and genius please the talentgang

and water most encourage flame

as hatracks into peachtrees grow

or hopes dance best on bald men’s hair

and every finger is a toe

and any courage is a fear

—long enough and just so long

will the impure think all things pure

and hornets wail by children stung

or as the seeing are the blind

and robins never welcome spring

nor flatfolk prove their world is round

nor dingsters die at break of dong

and common’s rare and millstones float

—long enough and just so long

tomorrow will not be too late

worms are the words but joy’s the voice

down shall go which and up come who

breasts will be breasts thighs will be thighs

deeds cannot dream what dreams can do

—time is a tree(this life one leaf)

but love is the sky and i am for you

just so long and long enough"

I didn't know the poem but liked it straight away. After studying the content and a few interpretations, I noticed this one. I would like to share it with you : “At one point I thought of this poem in my desire to criticize commercial usurpation of words like “freedom”: The lack of intellectual or moral integrity involved in phony creativity with the misuse of words. But that also involved recognizing my own foolishness in wanting to make words sacred. I love the way Cummings brings out contradictions in being and seeming and time with such a cleaver feel.

I now think of the poem as a bow to the present. I love you now, in the present, whatever imagination and the future might bring. “just so long and long enough.”

The photography I thought was appropriate to topic, cause freedom to be achieved, we need an open mind and flexibility....the intend is to provoque.

I understand the choice. The picture makes me think and delivers the message with an interesting look. It fits well to the poem.
