I see gender inequality in this piece and the composition is beautifully depicted with the lack of interaction between both figures.” Sarah Weber https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1621871780441-62ZP0WTCXQ4U2JWMLQBZ/Behind+the+Landscape+%281%29.jpeg Art for Social Justice Contest - Focus on Justice: Winners Announced! - Behind the Landscape by Giovanna Ribeiro ”Behind the Landscape is an enticing image with wonderful contrasting values of dark and light in relation to the buildings and sky. The sky appears to offer hope with radiant light cast from the sun while the neighborhood below is overshadowed. Uneven systematic opportunities within low-income communities is imperative for others to understand and I was pleased to see this picture shedding light on such an important social justice issue.” Sarah Weber, artist and judge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1621871784627-ECX43S1H4BVB1QYP3UHJ/Smashing+the+world+around+us+%281%29.jpeg Art for Social Justice Contest - Focus on Justice: Winners Announced! - Smashing the World Around Us by Megan Allan “When initially viewing this photograph, I was drawn to the color, texture and cropping of the image. As I investigated it further, the concept became clearer with deterioration of ice and climate change as an evident message. I appreciate the abstraction initiated and analogy of earthy toned handheld tool and blue hues resonating as ice.” Sarah Weber, artist and judge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1621871874342-J0XJIGHA46KA8UASC5DC/11A+Sayna+Zahrai+%282%29.jpg Art for Social Justice Contest - Focus on Justice: Winners Announced! - #Educationisnotacrime by Sayna Zahrai ‘I chose this piece because the screen message and symbolism of a blindfold over their eyes is very powerful. The prohibition of knowledge and education in various parts of the world speaks volumes in this work and I appreciate the artist's intent to shed light on this subject.” Sarah Weber, artist and judge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1621871874358-6ZN69KUIKH9QA90TFFZC/10B+Helena+Rosa+Amado+%282%29.png Art for Social Justice Contest - Focus on Justice: Winners Announced! - "You Don't Know" by Helena Amado “The concept of this photograph is powerful regarding concealing one’s identity of gender, race and social position and how this affects societal perception. The dark mood of this piece and achromatic values enhance the message as do the words presented.” Sarah Weber, artist and judge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1621871874982-73O4NNFZPYA826UK0K23/Rallying+Cry+-+Claire+Smith+%281%29+%282%29.jpg Art for Social Justice Contest - Focus on Justice: Winners Announced! - "Rallying Cry" by Claire Smith “I admire the spontaneity and viewpoint captured in this photograph. There is energy and passion exhibited which demonstrates the strength of each individual voice. The foreground figure expresses intense emotion, almost as if I can hear her yelling while the surrounding women are actively engaged, inspired and equally supportive.” Sarah Weber, artist and judge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1621900164944-BDJBYZOLMTFXXWIRI76P/The%2Bpursuit%2Bof%2Beducation.jpg Art for Social Justice Contest - Focus on Justice: Winners Announced! - "The Pursuit of Education" by Mariamawit Girmay https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1621871987241-73I3QHKZNK1O096J6HXG/N%C3%A3o+me+silencie%21+%281%29.png Art for Social Justice Contest - Focus on Justice: Winners Announced! - "Don't Silence Me" by Daylla Cristine Santos Silva https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1621871983547-66FSHGVJ6U4S9W26N6XX/beauty+is+pain+%28but+not+your+pain%29+%281%29+%281%29.jpg Art for Social Justice Contest - Focus on Justice: Winners Announced! - "Beauty is Pain (but not yours)" by Denis Marchitan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1582416437517-5CAYBUURIMRFGYQ9V2GH/Elephant2+%281%29.jpg Art for Social Justice Contest - Focus on Justice: Winners Announced! - Thank you to all who participated in our Art for Social Justice Contest. We had a hard time choosing only 3 winners, among the 216 submissions we received, so we chose 5! See the finalists who received honorable mention Connie Creek, Kansas City artist who chose the winning artworks, shared these words with the participants: "I want to congratulate each student who entered the contest for finding the courage to address such difficult topics. There are many pieces that impact the viewer in meaningful ways. Although I found these five works very much equal in the artists' abilities to represent an important social issue through visual means, here are my reasons for the order.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1602723837414-IZB1FPNEKP1CB1C8KEJG/Aquecimento+Global.jpeg Art for Social Justice Contest - Focus on Justice: Winners Announced! - First place: “Aquecimento Global” (Global Warming) by Altiery Silva, age 18. Colégio Estadual João Dias Guimarães, São Fransisco, Brazil. “I chose the piece Global Warming because although it is also an environmental issue it is, as the artist states so well, an issue that affects our entire planet--every single being on earth. It is a social concern that requires all societies in all countries to work together to protect our earth. The artist combined symbols representing time and nature with thought and skill to deliver the message.” Connie Creek “The social issue that inspired me was global warming. I tried to represent the chosen theme in a broad way. I used the hourglass, which represents time, as the basis of the illustration and how it affects us. I also tried to show how our actions can harm us and harm everything around us: animals like the polar bear that depends on glaciers, which at the moment are melting quickly thanks to warming. At the bottom I represented pollution, which contributes to increased warming, harming all of us.” Altiery Silva https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1602724871276-0LXG4BQAH3NS5QY5SSEJ/image-asset.jpeg Art for Social Justice Contest - Focus on Justice: Winners Announced! - 3rd Place: “Social Justice needs Change” by Manoela Moura, age 17. School of the Nations, Brasília, Brazil. “For my art for social justice piece I chose to depict a protest inspired by the Black Lives Movement that started in the United States this year due to the case of George Floyd. Nonetheless, I decided to show in my work not only people protesting against racism, but also against various injustices that are faced daily in the reality we currently live in. Social Justice is the idea that everyone deserves equal economic and political rights and opportunities, and the populations I depicted in my artwork are commonly deprived from it. Each protest board in my drawing represents a group that commonly face social injustice, due to factors such as sexism, racism, homophobia, religious discrimination, and social class inequality. Therefore, the piece shows people fighting to stop this reality, with the intent of gaining their rights and access to the same opportunities as more privileged groups.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1602723696059-2WDG1PDJDHQJTH8225B9/6+-+Violence+against+women+in+times+of+Pandemic.jpg Art for Social Justice Contest - Focus on Justice: Winners Announced! - Second place: “Não ao Silêncio” (Violence Against Women in Times of Pandemic) by Pedro Luiz, age 16. Centro de Excelência Vitória de Santa Maria, Aracaju, Brazil. “A very close second is the piece, Violence Against Women. The photograph is powerfully graphic in delivering information almost too graphic for us to witness. The layout of the image adds to its emotional impact. Eliminating violence against women, as well as against many other groups, is an injustice that every country must grapple with and strive to eliminate." Connie Creek “The art of photography represents here one of the greatest social injustices: violence against women's lives. The woman is a victim of violence inside and outside the home. The proliferation of this injustice is confirmed by statistics that point to alarming rates in this period of social isolation due to the pandemic. The art of photography in the philosophy of spaces screams for equality and respect!” Pedro Luiz https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1602726166857-1Y3KJHB0F7T6QKIHCGDU/4%2B-%2BGoodbye%2Bto%2BEducation%2B%25281%2529.jpg Art for Social Justice Contest - Focus on Justice: Winners Announced! - 3rd Place: “Adeus à Educação” (Goodbye to Education) by Maria Eduarda Carvalho Silva Aragão, age 16, Ação Fraternal de Itabuna, Itabuna, Brazil. “In my work, I represented this scenario of digital exclusion and difficulty in accessing distance education in an intense and clear way. The girl on the floor represents all the students who are missing their opportunities. I chose a black woman because it is black women who find it most difficult to study in Brazil, I thought it would be representative. School supplies that are flying with their wings represent education. The girl also has wings, but they were cut off, which can be seen from the bloody scissors on the floor and their plucked feathers. This girl's wings are the opportunity, the scissors that removed her feathers, the digital divide.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1602724572250-J6J58MLYPIOHVA67H7BY/10+-+Dysphoria+-+Transgender+Rights.jpg Art for Social Justice Contest - Focus on Justice: Winners Announced! - 3rd Place: “Dysphoria” by Wesley Sterbach, age 15, Shawnee Mission West, Overland Park, Kansas, United States. “My social justice issue is transgender rights/awareness. As a trans man, people don’t understand the pain we feel on our day to day life. The feeling of imprisonment to our own bodies. My artwork shows the feelings I feel as a trans man. The pink (female) face that is splitting apart shows my outer appearance that is entangling the blue (make face) to show I feel trapped due to my dysphoria. The male face is to show the true person I am on the inside. And that my appearance does not define me and it will fall apart. In the end, I am a boy no matter my appearance. I painted this oil painting to show my struggle with self acceptance.” https://www.sjcinitiative.org/artforsocialjustice/2016/1/24/guest-speaker-series monthly 0.5 2020-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1569248975374-7GNSX8M4KR7HVVFZ0K9H/THE+WORLD+IS+WAKING+UP%2C+front+cover.jpg Art for Social Justice Contest - Poetry of Resistance Book Now Available! - Authors: Painting by Clara Rabbani (age 16).

No geral, esta foto representa meu foco consistente nos direitos das mulheres como um todo e como as mulheres continuam a enfrentar obstáculos desnecessários economicamente, na saúde pública, legalmente e muito mais. Eu amo essa foto porque ela mostra não apenas a força das mulheres de cor individualmente mas também reunindo apoiadores - as mulheres que circulavam ao seu redor, demonstrando ativamente esse apoio. As mulheres são incrivelmente poderosas, especialmente quando defendem umas às outras. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1622303477075-YPMC4R8CTOYJGCILAVB4/The+pursuit+of+education.jpg Prêmio Cidadania Mundial Luis Anderson e Vicent Martínez Guzmán - "A Busca da Educação" por Mariamawit Girmay Eu capturei essa foto porque acredito fortemente que é uma questão de justiça social. A foto descreve a dedicação de criança em termos de educação, trabalho e tempo. Mostra como os menores nos países pobres se sacrificam para ajudar a si próprios e à família. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1622303482875-QSAED2QG7Y5P0OFHXC7V/N%C3%A3o+me+silencie%21+%281%29.png Prêmio Cidadania Mundial Luis Anderson e Vicent Martínez Guzmán - "Não Me Silencie!" por Daylla Cristine Santos Silva A foto diz tudo, é como se a vítima dissesse "Vou lutar pela minha vida e pela minha liberdade a cada segundo", e tentar me defender o máximo possível. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1622303478745-HMYFP2WGA0T1Y5WNQI2U/beauty+is+pain+%28but+not+your+pain%29+%281%29+%281%29.jpg Prêmio Cidadania Mundial Luis Anderson e Vicent Martínez Guzmán - "A Beleza é Dolorosa (mas não para você)" por Denis Marchitan Em muitos países do terceiro mundo, as crianças são utilizadas nas indústrias da moda ou da tecnologia, tirando partido da pobreza das famílias. Na maioria dos casos recebem muito pouco dinheiro e são forçadas a trabalhar em condições lamentáveis. Esta é uma realidade que muitas pessoas não conhecem, mas felizmente está se tentando reduzir hoje. No meu trabalho tentei mostrar uma criança de um desses países trabalhando em condições desfavoráveis para fazer vestidos que depois seriam vendidos por muito dinheiro. No canto há uma imagem de um desfile representando que talvez mais de uma vestimenta mostrada foi feita por ele. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1622303527550-C2HMVKFRW658J02WHD5O/Gender+Injustice+%281%29.jpeg Prêmio Cidadania Mundial Luis Anderson e Vicent Martínez Guzmán - "Desigualdade de Gênero" por Damour Yuna Até hoje, as mulheres são maltratadas. Minha foto denuncia uma dessas formas de abuso. Na verdade, podemos ver o marido sentado bebendo seu café enquanto assiste à TV, enquanto a esposa está ocupada com as tarefas domésticas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1622303479255-IEGNDQYPA1EZNDMX65D2/11A+Sayna+Zahrai+%282%29.jpg Prêmio Cidadania Mundial Luis Anderson e Vicent Martínez Guzmán - "Educaçãonãoécrime#" por Sayna Zahrai O problema de justiça social que eu queria mostrar na minha foto é como os Bahá'ís no Irã não têm permissão para entrar em nenhuma universidade. Uma das campanhas que aborda esse problema de injustiça social é #Educação não é um crime. Na minha foto, a garota representa todos os bahá'ís que desejam estudar e obter educação universitária, mas não têm permissão para isso. A venda representa o governo que proíbe seu acesso à educação e as páginas brancas são a falta de recursos de que dispõem. Esperançosamente, espalhando a mensagem, tais injustiças deixarão de acontecer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1622303525855-06N06SDN6W3MQF8VGXX8/Behind+the+Landscape+%281%29.jpeg Prêmio Cidadania Mundial Luis Anderson e Vicent Martínez Guzmán - "Por Trás da Paisagem" por Giovanna Ribeiro Meu trabalho foi inspirado pela injustiça que cerca as cidades brasileiras. A fotografia mostra uma favela, ou seja, uma comunidade de baixa renda. Muitas das pessoas que habitam esses lugares são vítimas de um sistema que não oferece oportunidades para uma vida melhor, apanhadas em uma corrente de abandono. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1622303479763-R40H1SEBF8QERZOVS9VN/10B+Helena+Rosa+Amado+%282%29.png Prêmio Cidadania Mundial Luis Anderson e Vicent Martínez Guzmán - "Você Não Sabe" por Helena Amado A ideia principal da minha fotografia é representar que as diferenças das pessoas não devem influenciar o respeito que recebem. Devemos respeitar a todos independentemente de seu gênero, cor ou posição social. Resolvi não mostrar nenhuma parte do corpo da pessoa e resolvi deixar a foto em preto e branco para não termos ideia de como era a modelo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1622303528188-FJM2AWWL4DLVVLVGN1WL/Smashing+the+world+around+us+%281%29.jpeg Prêmio Cidadania Mundial Luis Anderson e Vicent Martínez Guzmán - "Esmagando o Mundo ao Nosso Redor" por Megan Allan Decidi tirar essa foto para mostrar o quanto o mundo ao nosso redor realmente significa, mostra que estamos destruindo o gelo no mundo e isso faz parte das mudanças climáticas. Eu realmente espero que as pessoas reconheçam esse problema como algo ruim e ajam rapidamente. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1611025866191-5L0FECGN1C4VXG4U107E/Untitled_Artwork%2B%25285%2529.jpg Prêmio Cidadania Mundial Luis Anderson e Vicent Martínez Guzmán - focALIZE SUA CÂMERA EM UM TEMA RELACIONADO À JUSTIÇA eNos envie sua fotografia. prazo de envio: 1 de maio de 2021 VEJA AS REGRAS DO CONCURSO Prêmios: 14-19 ANOS Primeiro lugar - 2500 reais Segundo lugar - 1800 reais Terceiro lugar - 1300 reais 11-13 ANOS Primeiro lugar -1600 reais Segundo lugar -1000 reais Terceiro lugar -500 reais https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1582426554282-9GC8577KSTHQU5KMWEQG/Elephant2+%281%29.jpg Prêmio Cidadania Mundial Luis Anderson e Vicent Martínez Guzmán https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1602728044535-5V7UP1PJ9C41KEOV5OMI/image-asset.jpeg Prêmio Cidadania Mundial Luis Anderson e Vicent Martínez Guzmán - Segundo Lugar: “Não ao Silêncio” por Pedro Luiz, 16 anos. Centro de Exelência Vitória de Santa Maria, Aracaju, Brasil. Segundo Lugar: “Não ao Silêncio” por Pedro Luiz, 16 anos. Centro de Exelência Vitória de Santa Maria, Aracaju, Brasil. “Um segundo lugar bem próximo ao primeiro é a peça ‘Não ao Silêncio’. A fotografia é poderosa ao fornecer informações quase gráficas demais para que possamos dar testemunho. O layout da imagem aumenta seu impacto emocional. A violência contra as mulheres, assim como contra muitos outros grupos, é uma injustiça que todos os países devem enfrentar e se esforçar para eliminar.” Connie Creek “A arte da fotografia representa uma das grandes injustiças sociais: a violência contra a vida da mulher. A mulher é uma vítima de violência dentro e fora de casa. A proliferação dessa injustiça é confirmada pelas estatísticas que apontam índices alarmantes nesse período de isolamento social em decorrência da pandemia. A arte da fotografia na filosofia dos espaços grita por igualdade e respeito!” Pedro Luiz https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1602728505084-D2L80YG66WA8CJW6B0ZO/4+-+Goodbye+to+Education+%281%29.jpg Prêmio Cidadania Mundial Luis Anderson e Vicent Martínez Guzmán - Terceiro lugar: “Adeus à Educação” por Maria Eduarda Aragão, 16 anos. Ação Fraternal de Itabuna, Bahia - Brasil. Terceiro lugar: “Adeus à Educação” por Maria Eduarda Aragão, 16 anos. Ação Fraternal de Itabuna, Bahia - Brasil. “No meu trabalho, representei esse cenário de exclusão digital e dificuldade de acesso a educação a distância de uma forma intensa e clara. A moça no chão representa todos os estudantes que estão perdendo suas oportunidades. Escolhi uma mulher de cor negra porque são mulheres negras as que mais encontram dificuldades para estudar no Brasil, achei que ficaria representativo. Os materiais escolares que estão voando com suas asas representam a educação. A moça também possui asas,mas elas foram cortadas, o que se percebe por conta da tesoura ensanguentada no chão e de suas penas arrancadas. As asas dessa moça são a oportunidade, é a tesoura que tirou suas penas, a exclusão digital.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1602729577726-Q5AATA3LDHB8U4UOOY4C/10+-+Dysphoria+-+Transgender+Rights.jpg Prêmio Cidadania Mundial Luis Anderson e Vicent Martínez Guzmán - Terceiro lugar: “Dyphoria” por Wesley Sterbach, 15 anos. Colégio Shawnee Mission West, Kansas, Estados Unidos. Terceiro lugar: “Dyphoria” por Wesley Sterbach, 15 anos. Colégio Shawnee Mission West, Kansas, Estados Unidos. Minha questão de justiça social são os direitos/consciência dos transgêneros. Como um homem trans, as pessoas não entendem a dor que sentimos em nosso dia a dia. A sensação de prisão em nosso próprio corpo. Minha arte mostra os sentimentos que sinto como homem trans. O rosto rosa (feminino) que está se separando mostra minha aparência externa que está emaranhando o azul (fazer cara) para mostrar que me sinto preso devido à minha disforia. O rosto masculino é para mostrar a pessoa verdadeira que sou por dentro. E que minha aparência não me define e vai desmoronar. Afinal, sou um menino, não importa minha aparência. Eu pintei esta pintura a óleo para mostrar minha luta com auto-aceitação. ” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1602727046067-FVNXAM9DQGQFLPF3R41P/Aquecimento+Global.jpeg Prêmio Cidadania Mundial Luis Anderson e Vicent Martínez Guzmán - Primeiro Lugar: “Aquecimento Global” por Altiery Silva, 18 anos, Colegio Estadual João Dias Guimarães, São Fransisco-SE, Brasil. Primeiro Lugar: “Aquecimento Global” por Altiery Silva, 18 anos, Colegio Estadual João Dias Guimarães, São Fransisco-SE, Brasil. “Escolhi a peça Aquecimento Global porque embora também seja uma questão ambiental, é, como bem afirma a artista, uma questão que afeta todo o nosso planeta - cada ser na Terra. É uma preocupação social que exige que todas as sociedades em todos os países trabalhem juntas para proteger nosso planeta. O artista combinou símbolos que representam o tempo e a natureza com pensamento e habilidade para transmitir a mensagem. ” Connie Creek “A questão social que me inspirou foi o aquecimento global. Tentei representar o tema escolhido de uma forma ampla. Usei como base da ilustração a ampulheta, que representa o tempo, e como isso nos afeta. Também tentei mostrar em como nossas ações podem nos prejudicar e prejudicar tudo ao nosso redor, animais como o urso polar que depende das geleiras, que no momento estão derretendo rapidamente graças ao aquecimento. Na parte de baixo representei a poluição, que contribui para o aumento do aquecimento. Prejudicando a todos nós.” Altiery Silva https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1602729267179-NBARMN5LC08ZAQNNL4XI/image-asset.jpeg Prêmio Cidadania Mundial Luis Anderson e Vicent Martínez Guzmán - Terceiro lugar: “Social Justice Needs Change” por Manoela Moura, 17 anos Escola das Nações, Brasília, Brasil. Terceiro lugar: “Social Justice Needs Change” por Manoela Moura, 17 anos Escola das Nações, Brasília, Brasil. “Para a minha peça de arte pela justiça social, optei por retratar um protesto inspirado no Movimento Vidas Negras que começou nos Estados Unidos este ano devido ao caso de George Floyd. No entanto, decidi mostrar em meu trabalho não só pessoas que protestam contra o racismo, mas também contra diversas injustiças que enfrentamos diariamente na realidade em que vivemos. Justiça Social é a ideia de que todos merecem direitos e oportunidades econômicas e políticas iguais, e as populações que retratei em minha arte são comumente privadas disso. Cada placa de protesto em meu desenho representa um grupo que comumente enfrenta injustiças sociais, devido a fatores como sexismo, racismo, homofobia, discriminação religiosa e desigualdade de classe social. Por isso, a obra mostra pessoas lutando para acabar com essa realidade, com o intuito de conquistar seus direitos e ter acesso às mesmas oportunidades de grupos mais privilegiados.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/566f03912399a37a710422fa/1541361322701-1Y1NN5XWK98KKME4WR13/Painting+Clara1.jpg Prêmio Cidadania Mundial Luis Anderson e Vicent Martínez Guzmán Pintura de Clara Rabbani (16 anos).
