Statement... 

Remember all those trips to the art museum as a child? Pointing, noticing, and listening to the multiple interpretations of the artwork? One seeing a dog, another a cat, but you seeing a horse? Everyone perceives art differently, whether it is visual arts, spoken art, or music. Artist Banksy, photographer Scott Langley, and musicians Las Cafeteras utilize art as an instrument to advocate for social justice.

Art is more than just a luxury; it is a powerful tool by which social change can be achieved. Tatyana Guerra explores the modern and creative artistic styles in Bansky's artwork. In doing so, she analyzes and interprets artwork to fully understand the message that Banksy is trying to convey. Through observing his work, it becomes evident that art is not just to look at; art is a complex idea that takes more than a glance to fully comprehend.
Music is more than just a luxury; if used properly, you might just find a perfect combination of rhythms and social justice. Brenda Almaraz highlights the importance of social justice through the Afro-Mexican and Afro-Caribbean style of musicians, Las Cafeteras. Listening to Las Cafeteras, she is able share with others the power and potential that music has to unite, motive, and promote justice in societies. 

Photo journalism is more than just a luxury; it is a snap of realism and social justice. Noely Gonzalez showcases the work of Scott Langley to help us better understand his message and views on justice. Through captured moments, she is able to view and break down the themes and ideas of the man behind the camera. As you navigate through each of pages, we hope that the art you saw and the music that you heard not only looked and sounded amazing, but that you were able to see the uniqueness and creative styles that these artists use to discuss social justice.
