For my first enrichment workshop I have decided to attend the Whitney Museum. Being this was my first time ever going to an art museum and attending an exhibition I did not know what to expect. The museum displays paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, installation art, video, and photography. Each floor had different art styles and the stair displayed art models hanging down the stairs. See the different forms of arts and back story that come with each piece really peeked my interest.

The piece that interested me the most was Life and Politics by Oiticica. In 1964 an artist by the name of Hélio Oiticica home country home country of brazil was taken over by a military dictatorship. Hélio work was popular in Rio and he work became more political. He created a piece call “seja marginal, seja heroi” which means be an outlaw, be a hero. This allowed me to reflect on our class discussion on leadership. In Nelson Mandela’s 8 lessons of leadership this art is relatable with nothing is black or white. You don’t have to be an outlaw or a hero, you can be both.
