@fuckedup_knee girl me too, when drugs that cure cancer also cause cancer

“yeah i don’t smoke cigs i don’t want to get cancer” (i am breathing in a million chemicals each day of my job)

i got my car towed yesterday and my tow truck driver told me he was pro-woman

found out today that it takes exactly 3 men to change a tire

i don’t live tweet, i just text my gf

@CWontwt This also reminds me of my childhood summers, except I spent them in India, where we would also leave the windows open due to no AC

I chose this picture by Kori Newkirk as a reminder of summer because I spent many childhood summers in New York with my family. The older homes didn't have central air, so it would get very hot and we would leave windows open late until we went to bed. #ARTH287artoninsta

@Makayla9032 This piece also conveys the feelings of peace and relaxation that I associate with summer

This image by Philemona Williamson represented summer to me because of the background and the butterflies. The green grass and blue skies reflect summer in my opinion, and in a way. I thought of the image as a representation of childhood in summertime. #ARTH287ArtonInsta

I loved this piece by William Paul Thomas because of the lack of the father’s head, but the child seems comfortable and safe #ARTH287ArtonInsta

This work by @Jameaart was displayed in the blue/s exhibition at @esmoaorg, this piece fits in among the the other pieces that explore the feeling of the color blue #arth287artoninsta

@camryntho I really like this piece too, and I forgot that daylight savings time starts in the spring, so it’s more that just flowers

Beverly McIver’s piece reminds me of the warmth you feel through the window for the first time in a long time when the time change happens and you can wake up from sunlight rather than the darkness of winter and daylight savings #arth287artoninsta

@jdurdenarth I love this painting and I wonder if it suggests that the brain is the source of life, due to the plants coming out of it

I chose “O stems behold the night offering” by Lezley Saar for the way the flowers/fungus/vegetation seem to be blooming out of the person's head. I feel as though flowers or plants in general in bloom are recognizable symbols of spring. #arth287artoninsta

@BestJahmila These pictures are extremely hard to look at, I wonder if Newkirk is simply documenting or finding ways to help these people through the pictures

@hope_mutter @GenevieveGaign1 When I saw this piece I thought of the superstition of spilling salt invites evil in, in which evil is shown by the KKK hood

This is Salty Karens by Genevieve Gaignard. By using salt to disguise one woman as a klan member, the artist suggests that the weaponized emotions of white women (especially "Karens") can translate into physical violence against Black people. #arth287artoninsta

@arth287superfan @sanfordbiggers it’s possible that the cutout could be. representative of the way tradition African art styles were “cut out” of art history

#ARTH287artoninsta I like how @sanfordbiggers spins the traditional greek/roman marble statue wearing robes of the senate with a traditional african head. What does the missing piece from the figure's left arm mean?

@SobotaTatum what I noticed about this piece is that the artist uses skin tones as their fabric colors, it could comment on diversity in society

I found this piece by #MarenHassinger to be very interesting. The piece reminded me of the sea island basket weavings and their patterns. The various cloth colors and lengths gave the piece dimension and a sense of incompletion. #ARTH287ArtonInsta #ARTH287

@OrgainElla @sanfordbiggers the bottom half looks like the statue of liberty, especially as it’s holding a torch

I chose @sanfordbiggers piece "The Oracle" because I was impressed by the sheer size of it and the blend of concepts. It reminds me a lot of ancient Greek or Egyptian statues on the bottom half, but the large face looks like an African mask. #arth287artoninsta

@camryntho It’s like gentrification of the sea islands

Hearing how beach houses, golf courses, and resorts (luxuries for the non-residents) negatively affected the few ppl who did get the 40 acres and a mule after slavery revealed further how deliberate and unapologetic the mistreatment of Black ppl is at the systemic level #ARTH287

@CWontwt Listening to the legal arguments that disregarded Nettye’s claim to her land made me frustrated in the legal system

"The Deed" episode of Uncivil was very interesting. I found it interesting they even used legal paperwork like the disregarded adoption to take the land. My own family has had land taken without any fight at all because of eminent domain. #arth287

@CWontwt @DevanShimoyama I really like how the artist used complimentary colors so the snake really stands out against the red

I chose this photo by @DevanShimoyama because the blend of colors and lighting looks like the snake is 3-dimensional and moving. instagram.com/p/CVnmfwvlvku/… pic.twitter.com/UEU9DLy6Sp #arth287artoninsta

@matsARTH287 Zora Neale Hurston is also one of my favorite authors and I like how the piece acknowledges her importance

I chose this piece, “Zora # 2” by Rico Gatson because Zora Neale Hurston is one of my favorite authors. I also like the art because it feel powerful and the lines shoot out towards all of the possibilities of life. #arth287artoninsta

I really like this piece by @ninachanel because the mix of patterns creates movement as you shift between parts of the piece #ARTH287ArtonInsta
