Raised Fist

red frame of the box. In contrast to this brightly colored dress, Aunt Jemima’s skin is pitch black and matches a black fist centered in the space where the notepad would be. In the notebook’s stead, Saar has placed a small painting of Aunt Jemima holding an angry caucasian white child. In this little depiction it is a sunny day and Aunt Jemima is standing in front of a picket fence, over which a bright white towel is drying — the towel frames a black fist which is a striking contrast in the center of the composition. This painting within the piece is a more realist depiction, whereas Jemima’s expression on the notebook holder is unrealistically clownish. Behind the entire notepad holder and Aunt Jemima, there is a quasi-wallpaper pattern of the standard Aunt Jemima logo, her portrait smiling with a bandana around her head. These repetitive logos create a…

Step in the Arena I suppose it was only a matter of time until we were presented with Luke’s origin story, but I appreciate the show’s forethought into giving it such a well-timed placement within the overall narrative. By waiting until now, Luke Cage avoided feeling too similar to many other superhero stories that can’t resist showing us a character’s history right away. Had it waited any longer, it could have run the risk of putting too much distance between the audience and the action…

Annette Lemieux’s Left Right Left Right, consists of thirty black and white photographs nailed to wooden pine poles, depicting raised fists. Some of the images include the fists of important societal figures such as Martin Luther King Jr., Richard Nixon and Jane Fonda.

America has been slowly developing, learning from our mistakes, and trying to make this a country we all can live in together as one. During the 1960’s was one of America’s greatest fights for human rights, the Civil Rights Movement. During the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City, John Dominis captured the powerful image of Tommie Smith and John Carlos, two African-American sprinters, raising black gloved fists on the podium as a silent protest to the treatment of blacks in America. This picture…

These characteristics lead to their proficiency in assemly line, their tolerance to tough work discipline, and their less involvement in trade unions. As a…

black community, this tactic completely contradicts the definition. In the act of conforming, we mold ourselves into caricatures and lose the sense of self, completely negating the active pursuit of the acknowledgment of our excellence. Left Right Left Right, is an art piece created by Annette Lemieux, currently on display in the Human Interest exhibit at the Whitney Museum. This piece is a collection of thirty black and white photographs nailed to wooden pine poles, depicting raised fists. Some…

the film are both effective because they depict what the story is about by using literary devices and cinematic techniques, which share a connection to make this story more appealing. First, when the men were going to their bunks, Curley walks in and fights Lennie after Lennie was smirking at Curley. “Curley was balanced and poised. He slashed at Lennie with his left, then smashed down his nose with the right” (Steinbeck 63). The film uses close-up shots of Lennie getting beaten up by Curley,…
