As simple as the quote above is: “Make Art for the rest of us,” it stood out for me. Sometimes creating solutions to problems is not appreciated enough. Everyone only salutes when the problem has been dealt with, but the art factor of it, is finding a creative way to build awareness to the situation. That is what creates fan base, when a solution is so innovational; created to distract the viewer of what they are currently looking at or doing and just focusing on the topic that person is emphasizing. Even though raising awareness is the main goal of this assignment, I do not want to just raise awareness, I want to make a Difference.
In doing so, I decided to aim for the platform that generates the most attention, which is social media in general. Therefore, I then created a twitter page called ‘UNITE_US.’ In this page I started posting images of all our colored brothers who were victims to police brutality. This is a topic that needs to stop, to be off the headlines, to let us be free of fear from those who are meant to be protecting us. Therefore, I do not think these officers see these fine gentlemen any other way but of their color. So, I emphasized in every tweet, that these victims also have a family, whether they are a brother, a son, or a father. At the end of the day, they have a family that will be heartbroken to know that they will no longer see their loved ones due to “an inconvenience” that could have been avoided.
Please help spread awareness by as little as following me or reposting it my content.
Thank You,
