Description
This collection acts as a strong voice for anyone who couldn’t speak up about the topic directly. It allowed them to display this through art. This piece in particular is very impactful and conveys a strong message.
In this image, we see an African American woman. This is a statement as women were not usually seen as “powerful” in this time. It was usually all up to men to relay any sort of power. It was a very bold movement to use a woman in this piece and made it very outspoken. We see a quote that reads “no freedom, no way”. This tells us she is trying to fight for her own freedom, as well as everybody else’s. We see a great deal of colorful details in this piece. The artist wanted to keep it somewhat simple; they made the woman the focal point of the piece intentionally. “…’voice’ is the singular, implying solidarity among women” (Moms with Guns by Kim Miller, 73). The woman in this piece is fighting for justice and wants to act as a helping hand for others that want to do the same but are too afraid to do so.
