Conflict and Resistance
Throughout history, groups and individuals have sought not only to maintain control over their own lives, but also to assert their power over the lives of others. Visual art has played an important role in documenting such conflict and resistance. It also has served as a means for expressing personal views on politics, war, social inequities, and the human condition. Moroccan-born photographer Lalla Essaydi addresses the complex reality of Arab female identity from the perspective of personal experience.

The Body
From painting to sculpture, body art to performance art, the
body has figured prominently in the creative expression of
nearly all cultures from the beginning of civilization. Through
art, the body becomes a site for defining individual identity,
constructing sex and gender ideals, negotiating power, and
experimenting with the nature of representation itself.
Multimedia performance artist Shigeyuki Kihara makes
powerful statements about the depiction of Samoan people,
shared memory, societal roles, and sexuality.
