I chose this picture of Frida Kahlo in "Gringolandia because it has so much meaning behind it. Her paintings were a tool of expression and a way for her to visually translate her memories and the complex ideas that ran through her mind.I feel as through in this picture she expressed pain she was going through. My picture is not like hers but I was inspired to do this one piece after reading her story and art work. This picture was taking three weeks ago when I was over whelmed with school and work struggling to keep up with my 20 credits to graduate on time I felt depressed and lonely like no one would understand me. But some how I figured out a way to keep myself up.
Imposters, Tricksters and Spies - Joanna Finkelstein, Ch 1
1. It was important for Robert Stroller, Harold Garfinkel and the other professionals involved that before performing irreversible surgery on Agnes they were correct in their diagnosis of her condition. Pg 53
2. To see the social world as highly charged moral universe, where rules and their transgression were obvious and where it was recognized that they had significant social impact, lent support to Garfin-kel’s professional position and career ambitions. Ethnomethodology did create some celebrity for Garfinkel during the 1970s but not much beyond. Pg 54
John Berger, Ch 1
1. The way we see things is affected by what we know or what we believe. Pg 8
2. Original paintings are silent and still i a sense that information never is. Even a reproduction hung on a wall is not comparable in this respect for the original the silence and stillness permeate the actual material, the paint, in which one follows that traces of the painter's immediate gestures. Pg 31
Overlooked No More: Ana Mendieta, a Cuban Artist Who Pushed Boundaries | NYTimes
1.In the 1973 short film “Moffitt Building Piece,” Mendieta and her sister captured the reactions of strangers who walked by a puddle of pig’s blood that Mendieta had spilled outside her apartment. Some stared and most walked around the mess. Eventually someone washed it off the sidewalk. To Mendieta, the recording offered a thought-provoking experiment on people’s indifference to violence.
2. As an immigrant, Mendieta felt a disconnect in the United States. The trauma of being uprooted from her Cuban homeland as a girl would leave her with questions about her identity and make her more conscious of being a woman of color.
