Public School’s Spring//Summer 17 Collection
Original Article; HERE
Continuing with the theme of bravery I stumbled upon this article on Public School's Spring//Summer collection and how it had grown through the notion of rebellion and standing up for something. Is this something that could be useful to my dissertation on collectives and bravery? Although not illustrated, would it be worth looking at other art forms and collectives that have come together to form something brave; similar to this one?
Should I begin looking at protest art as one avenue of bravery within the art phere? How do you measure bravery? Should I look at political art as brave? Satire? How far can this term be pushed.
From the article;
"The concept of the show really was a reflection of the political landscape that's happening not only in the States, but all around the world — this idea of false leaders and false icons that are being built up," Chow explained backstage. Yesterday's offering saw a combination of military and athletic references — slashed silhouettes, strappy jumpsuits, sleeveless layering pieces, and punk patches slapped across the lot. The repeated use of shocking yellow, according to Osborne, was a "call to action."
Questions from research
Art as a platform for change?
Can illustration do this?
If so how is illustration doing this?
Personal politics bring people together?
Are people stronger as a collective?
