If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

A quote:
"We can highlight three different breeds of contemporary political art. First, there is a trend towards naturalism: simply reproducing the details of a particular political subject. Second, there is opinionated political art, which promotes the artist's view of political or material inequality. Third, there are ironic works that take up inequalities with a wink and a grin. Instead of passionate exposures of injustices that inspire people to action, these brands of art are more likely to deaden political events and make them seem farcical."
The future of political art is to tell the truth about today's society--isn't that political enough?
