When I entered the gallery, I thought there was only one portion to the exhibit. There were people on the projector hunched over holding onto what looked like IV bags at a hospital. The only difference was that instead of IV bags, things like a cross, a dove, and a globe to which I interpreted it to be that they needed religion, faith, and worldliness to survive or even that these were things that they didn’t have access to. Some other people were also carrying bathtubs to which I interpreted that you need fresh water to survive as well.
The second part of the exhibit was the black figures on the wall of the people, the telephone, and other objects. I honestly walked in, spun around, and left this part of the exhibit because I heard the music coming from the other portion that sounded more entertaining and I wanted to see what else was around.
The last part of the exhibit was the portion of the gallery that had three videos of a woman dancing in her pointe shoes and traditional clothing with a gun in her hand. I wasn’t sure of what they were trying to depict however, I thought this was a method of a freedom dance of some sort. I would love to know why there were three different depictions of the same woman dancing.
When I left the exhibit, I felt a greater appreciation for the things I am free to believe in and have access to. My favorite part of it was the first thing you see when you walk into the exhibit mainly because it was the most interesting to me. I think this exhibit was about trying to get the freedom to believe in certain things and freedom to things that people in first world countries may take for granted.
