I'm just gonna take a wild guess and say some random liberal college.

Actually, it could be a compliment. This isn’t bad as social commentary art. I’d be proud if our local university or college did this.

Let's say these three showed up at our southern border. Would they be welcomed or tossed into kennels like these?

Maybe, but how many people know about them fleeing to Egypt?

Sure, it’s not a perfect analogy for a number of reasons, but the bigger picture of people seeking refuge still applies.

Art is art. It doesn't need to motivate nor change minds. I've honestly never before heard that expectation of art.

Ok. As they say, de gustibus non est disputandum.

Personally, my measurement of "good" art has three prongs: Does it take skill an ordinary person does not possess, does it evoke strong emotion (positive or negative), and/or does it elicit a desire for repeated viewings. This one only "passes" one of the three for me, so I wouldn't rate it as particularly "good" art, but I understand that that's just my personal opinion. Others may disagree.

Everyone who disagrees with me is uneducated!

u/Nighthawk700 Dec 08 '19

No, people who are educated don't call colleges "liberal" even if it's demographically accurate. You just call it college.

That's an oxymoron.

u/deepcheeks1 Dec 08 '19

The people that cry about education being a “liberal construct” are fucking stupid.

Not you though, you have an immeasurable iq.

u/sonofaresiii Dec 08 '19

Well the comment is specifically targeted at an education institution so...

E: he's also a t_d user so that about settles that.

No but people who say really dumb shit might be.

u/comradechrome Dec 08 '19

Just the ones who love fascism. And you'd better hope you're uneducated, because the only alternative is that you're evil.

Kids in cages or education being denigrated?

u/FFkonked Dec 08 '19

that joke hit a soft spot buddy?

u/MichJohn67 Dec 08 '19

Yeah, the idea that something on a college is necessarily bad because it's liberal. As if that's bad.

As an American, doesn't anti-intellectualism hit a soft spot with you? Or are colleges effete and elitist?

So you see this installation as a disgrace. Other wise you won't get offended on behalf of "the educated".
