Conclusion:
We have seen through different types of art that we can
all fight for a right or a cause.
I don't know if you're going to be able to see, but on the cover of this book, you
can see a man's face on the woman's silhouette, and I think it's very clever and
representative of the message that M A wanted to convey. (Women are shaped
and manipulated)
One of Angelou's most acclaimed works, the poem was published in Angelou's
third poetry collection, And Still I Rise in 1978
She is determined, she mentions past events, when women were abused but
clearly explains that it is in the past and that she does not let it go anymore:
“Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise”
She shows in this poem that the gaze of others is worthless and that despite the
judgments, the bad advice, the fears, we must dare to realize our dreams
She may be a woman, but she proves that she will not let herself down and will
continue to create a place for herself in society and history.
In "Still I Rise," Maya Angelou comments on how women have been suppressed
based on the stereotypes but still have the courage to fight back. Her message
is full of hope and conveys the strength of this woman
A woman marked me, specifically her speech, she's just as determined as Maya
Angelou.
in the series "how to get away with murder", the famous speech by a criminal
defense attorney Annalise Keating denounces non-colorblind justice in America
His speech focuses on the problem of justice in America that does not reflect
equality, but my speech is not based on that subject even though it is very
important.
What I wanted to remember was the determination of this woman who dares
to speak up and express her opinion without being afraid to make things
happen.
as a black woman, she knows better than anyone that inequalities and
discrimination still exist

Art is a means for artists to express their opinion, but it leads to a lot of
controversy and reactions
- the book of Margaret Atwood received a lot of criticism, some people found it
too violent and disturbing
Texas schools banned the book for several reasons, including blasphemy,
overly sexual tones, anti-Christian, LGBTQ+ protagonists, and general moral
corruption.
This is not the first time a feminist artist received criticism for depicting images
of sexuality in her art.
Judy Chicago created the Test Plate for Virginia Woolf as part of her
development of The Dinner Party. That large installation piece is perhaps the
best-known artwork to come out of the feminist movement of the 1970
I personally love the artist Banksy and all his works because he is a committed
artist who does not hesitate to denounce the major problems of society
Street artist Banksy unveiled on Valentine’s Day this year, a work that
highlights the theme of domestic violence, painted on the wall of a building in
the seaside resort of Margate, in the south-east of England.
It depicts a housewife with a 1950’s or 1960’s look, disfigured by a black eye and
a broken tooth, while a man’s legs protrude from an old, real freezer placed
against the wall.
Battered wife gets rid of her violent husband by throwing him in a freezer, It's a
strong and powerful message.
This artwork encourage people to react and push them to defend these causes
as well. these artists open our eyes to the problems of our societies
