Community Production - Art

11:53 AM A Student's Perspective 0 Comments

Black Lives Matter is rather successful in their activities because of the immense support they receive through their community. This support ranges from participation in online activities, protests and production.

One important line of production which is essential to Black Lives Matter in spreading their message is Art.

Art as a result of production is oftentimes imperative in encompassing and exemplifying one's ideals and ideologies. Banksy for instance is infamous for his artworks because of the message he is trying to spread. People see his works and subjectively deduce what they believe it represents. Often one may decode the message differently to what was intended yet when one decodes it as the coder hoped for, the message is ever so influential.



Art is subjective. It is powerful. Thus Black Lives Matter encourages its user base and community to create artworks to be spread throughout media. Such media includes social media, TV, radio, etc. The media can also be spread in the physical world as posters and billboards.

It is truly an effective means in showcasing an ideology and so Black Lives Matters will continue to create and spread such works as a means of impacting the audience's thoughts and ideals.
