Probably won't make it into exchange 17 as I am in #16 but think that "War" 
would be an excellent theme.

Off now to limp in Seattle's latest Peace March.

Subject: [Baren 21086] political art? 

It was of my understanding that baren should not be a political organization? 
 If you choose to take on this subject than I would be justified to do art 
that is pro-American as its subject. Or pro war in Iraq.  This is a very 
political subject and all views would be allowed or you would have 
censorship.  To me appeasement of a dictator is not peace. Appeasement of 
Hitler did not bring peace.  Appeasement of Hitler lead to the death of my 
wife's family.  Today I meet Americans who were from Iraq--their stories 
reminded me of things that happened to my wife's family.

Sorry peace might be an interesting ideal but in today's world it is a very 
political subject. One persons freedom fighter is another persons terrorist 
or mass murder.   

I feel it would be wrong for baren to take on this subject as I am sure I 
will be censored.

John,
You are 100% right...the only way we can cope together is to not
mention politics, although our artwork will not be censored as
far as I know. I am sure this is why the list is so quiet, we are
all trying not to mention it but it is at the front of our minds.
Best to all,
Barbara

DEAR BARENERS:
I guess I did not say it before, but I am a president of a Non Profit
Artist Org. here in my city, and we are now in an exchange with some
printmakers from the chicago area. They are chicanos and mexicans from 
state (michoacan) but living in the Northern area of USA.  This week we had
the first of them here, Hector Duarte. they will be coming to work in their
plate here. in the city of Patzcuaro (40 miles from Morelia, the city where
I live) there is an enormous workshop run by the Culture Department, so the
artists are leaving here their Bon a Tirer and the printers will run the
edition.

Recently we had a Drop out from Chicago (well, Alfredo Arreguin, who lives
in Seattle) and we are looking for some other chicano or mexican printmaker
who lives preferentely  in the Chicago area.
If you know someone please let me know.
