Task 10: Image Summarising Work’s Content

An Elective Setting Whereby White Males Dominate The Entire Democracy:

‘Hands of the very men that held them as slaves’

Throughout the Manifesto project, I concluded my writing was more powerful in an anti-manifesto format, as opposed to any positive claims of things advocated. I feel this is down to human nature as we often kick against what they’re told to do. Therefore, once given freedom of choice to decide if we agree with an outrageous and ill-informed statement, we are more likely to take the moral high ground independently.

Similarly, work that I’ve produced whilst doing Research and Communication tasks has suggested a hint of irony, such as the appropriation task. Here, I placed the heads of black celebrities who have been successful in the eye of the public on the painted head of Emmett Till, produced by Dana Schutz called ‘Open Casket’ created in sympathy for Emmett’s grievous mother. The exposure was to broadcast grief and mistreatment, not to launch any kind of fame. Michael Jackson’s bleached white face over Emmett’s was the final outcome, raising a tremendous indignity on those who made Jackson, in his latter years, feel unhappy in the skin he was born with.
