The act of visualizing social justice or injustice and the ability to “flip” its’ message is to directly confront

the racially charged cultural systems and icons that continually supports such messages of injustice.

There is an opportunity for art makers, working in

social justice imagery, to play a more direct role in exploring how to diminish the insidious impact of

racial imagery.

 

    It is a battle on the subconscious level to break

the auto-negative reactions implanted in our social interaction designed to dehumanization, fostered crippling dysfunction, and the common denial of self-empowerment. However, this is not a one

way street.

 

     The practitioners of social injustice and those

who consciously or unconsciously benefit from the

act of racial injustice are forever locked into their own patterns of denial and dismissive narratives. An act of direct visual confrontation or “flipping" the effect of negative imagery would seek to be transformative

at the same time.
