The exhibition by Iannone was a little disturbing. In some ways, it was understood that women are being compared to men in society, as to who carry the pants (figuratively speaking). The expression that she uses to express sexuality is beyond what normal society would accept. Something that really caught my attention was the small relics/dolls that she created with the same intention of sexuality. The interesting part about it is that they are big enough to have around the house and appreciate her art.
With David Goldblatt, the way in which he depicted South Africa isn't as different as the country I come from, Venezuela. It frightened me to see that similar economical/political situations are ocurring around the world. Another thing that made a big impact in my understanding of his work is the dedication made to AIDS awareness. There were red ribbons all over the streets, showing support or wanting help against it.
Black Panther is a type of art which I still have difficulty wrasping its meaning. Political propaganda is seen everywhere, yet in the times of civil war, I can't understand it. It was understandable that different races were involved since some of his posters had Spanish text written. Minorities create their own alligences against a common cause. Even then, racial problems have been an on-going theme in the present world we live in. It has died out in some areas, but people cannot forget where they come from and their superiority is blinding.
