Art is a part of every culture so everyone can resonate with it. Everyone wants to consume it or take part in it. If done well you will definitely grab attention. Historically performance art has been known to help society as a whole via self-knowledge and understanding. Performance arts teaches society about itself. It points out the attitude and mindset of our current society and can be used to educate people about their conditions and bring about social and political change. Racism is embedded in the fibers of the fabric that built this nation. Conversations about race are sometimes hard to have but if a person can identify themselves in a character on stage, be it the oppressor or the oppressed, it will provoke thought, challenge their world view and rile them up to the point of discussion and reflection. If racism is not talked about it will not change and it can’t be talked about openly and honestly without the creation of safe spaces. Your art is powerful! Use it wisely.
