Past pieces by the HVW8 Art Installation for it’s Political Minded series.
Art and Politics are tricky bedfellows, which is again demonstrated in the controversy over the role of the NEA and the promotion of policy objectives. The role of art in politics isn’t truly defined, but its presence is regularly invited and appreciated. HVW8 works to open dialogue and to include those in the conversation that will be impacted. We can only note that completely shutting the door rather than keeping that conversation open derides youth involvement.
(For the record we’re Canadian and don’t qualify for NEA funding).
