"...[The goal of] the photography series of Global Growers [served] as a counter-narrative to challenge current [negative, dehumanizing] perceptions of refugees." // In recognition of #WorldRefugeeDay, we'd like to direct you to one of our 2017 Southwest Art & Social Engagement Projects: a series of portrait photographs of refugee farmers at @globalgrowers, an #Atlanta #nonprofit that provides agricultural opportunities to refugees and other marginalized populations. The project was led by photographer @rossoscarknight. Link in bio!

ART & SOCIAL CHANGE // Q: How can art be really ‘social’? A: The time for art is over. The point now is to realise art, to really create on every level of life everything that hitherto could only be an artistic memory or an illusion, dreamed and preserved unilaterally. Art can be realised only by being suppressed. However, in contrast to the present society, which suppresses art by replacing it with the automatic functioning of an even more passive and hierarchical spectacle, we maintain that art can really be suppressed only by being realised. // Internationale Situationniste, no.9, Paris, 1964. // Responses to a Questionnaire from the Center for Socio-Experimental Art, by the Situationist International. // Image: "The Change," Acrylic on Canvas by Ralph Rumney (SI Member), 1957, from the Tate Museum (London)
