About "Causing Cultural Anarchy"
Pushing Boundaries
As artists, we sometimes create art that dares us, scares us, and pushes personal, communal, and cultural boundaries. These daring pieces threaten the norms of our own beliefs, as well as culture in general. We may be afraid to share them due to prior rejection and scorn, personal fear of what sharing something very personal can reveal to others, fear of public reactions, and many other valid reasons. This art show was for those pieces!
Maria Guevara - Veiled
She is not complete
She behind the veils
but here
She whose face is veiled
ever present
She who navigates beneath
my consciousness
insistent
incomplete
waiting to gather together all
the pieces
the sparks
the parts left
broken
scattered
to her breast as she breathes love
hovering just out of reach
She who is not complete
whose memory is so sweet but so sad
whose mission is incomplete
say her name
Widdershins
I plant my feet firmly
on nothing
My foundations are
crumbling
Nothing is
black
or white
I question my sanity
I can’t breath
I twist I dance i turn
Widdershins
to save my life
I appropriate
the beauty and power
of humanity
to manifest Unity
to save our Life
