As hundreds of suffragettes were held in prison in the early 20th century after being arrested for wanting to vote, many went on hunger strike. Fearing these women would become martyrs, prison guards started force-feeding them to keep them alive – strapping them down and jamming tubes painfully up their noses to do it, causing them long term physical damage. Eventually, authorities passed the "Cat and Mouse Act" in 1913 a law that allowed them to set hunger-striking suffragettes free and arrest them the second they had eaten a morsel of food - leading to more being held in prison.
From the godesses of Parthenon to the court ladies of China, here are ten pieces of art from human history that define beauty
Poster currently available for pre-sale. Order will ship the end of April. Original work from Marissa Camp contributed to the 2021 Artwork for Equity Advocacy Campaign. Description of Work: This piece responds to the idea of miseducated by highlighting some of the political and social policies that marginalize minority communities. The figures in the piece are students, figuratively breaking and cutting the structures that harm our communities. One student is breaking the "pipeline" that pushes young minority students through failing educational institutions to prisons. Another student cuts the "redline" that allows funding and resources to be prioritized to white and wealthy families. While the calling phrase of the poster is “equal education for all” the text in the background calls for a promotion of gender equality and inclusion of LGBTQIA communities within minority discussion. It also calls for dismantling harmful zero tolerance policies that are blind the real needs of the students in our schools. Investing in our children is investing in our communities. It is investing in our future. Artist's Bio: I was born and raised in Ferguson, Missouri. I am a recent graduate from Webster University where I received a BA in studio art with a certificate in illustration. In University I received my first taste of professional practice working for the university as a graphic designer, where I used illustrations as my main strength. In early 2021 I participated in the “Varsity Art XXV” exhibition held by Art Saint Louis representing Webster University. I also participated in the Webster Art Departments “Take Out” BA and BFA exhibition. I work conceptually, mixing mediums to fit my subjects. My work is often focused on the political, social, and emotional climates that I am enveloped in. I also build work focused on my family and ancestry to try and mold our history together. By my community’s history, and the history of our race, I am attempting to celebrate the narrative that our ancestors and our family have created. I am interested in making work that discusses relationships between the natural environment and the world governed by humanity. I am interested in environmental studies and the intersections between environmental justice and racial justice with special consideration to its effects in urban areas. I am also interested in sustainability and using art and design to create industries that consider their relationships with the earth. -- Instagram: @issa_marsc Website: Marissa-camp.com
