Cover Art: “Where Else Is There”

Abstract

“Fight the Power” by Public Enemy is a song that was created in collaboration with the movie “Do the Right Thing,” directed by Spike Lee, to narrate the social injustices of the African American community. Following the prompt of my Advanced Digital Drawing class to listen to “Fight the Power” by Public Enemy to create a drawing, I was inspired to focus on the social injustices of gentrification in my illustration. This artwork is a visual representation of how marginalized communities continuously face injustices by disruption and separation from their communities and culture through acts of greed. Activists continuously work to research such serious topics to demonstrate the significant need for equality among BIPOC communities.
