Another day at the Brooklyn Museum - Elizabeth Sackler Centre for Feminist Art

The artworks raised some interesting questions.  Lots of photos to follow, (and some dodgy focussing when I had to bend to get the shot!) and mostly questions that they raised in my mind:


Lovely send-up of the Calvin Klein (hetrosexual) underwear ads!

White affluent women in the USA offering Loyalty and Courage to the White House 

His banner says "Democracy for the World" and hers says  "Democracy begins at home"!
























This makes me wonder about UK farmers who are forced by supermarket to over-produce food, which then gets ploughed in, when the demand falls off.  Can't we work out how to use this fresh produce, in our food banks? I know food banks prefer tinned food because it is durable and does not get damaged. Soup kitchens would probably be deemed demeaning, but there must a way of using excess fresh produce.  What about handing out fruit/vegetable gluts and teaching people to cook at the food bank?

I do love this one!

And this!


Interesting stats, although I don't know the date it was compiled


The final quote rings true with me!

So much food for thought!
