Having a Voice

Staci said in her post that artwork and murals are a way for "minorities to have a voice" and I believe this to be true! From the murals shown in class (the one with the dodger's stadium), and the artwork that Staci posted, it seems like this kind of artwork is a good way (and peaceful) to get your message across. Along with the Peltier case, it seems that that case wasn't as well known because it was with a Native American minority group, who didn't have as big a voice as some other groups. However with these giant murals on highways and buildings, this kind of artwork is a way for average people to get their feelings and messages across to other people who may otherwise not have any way of doing so.

It was also mentioned that artwork defies language barriers. I also thought this was an interesting point because anyone can look at these murals and try to understand the message being shown without having to read anything!
