Americans from the United States might play ignorant to the role their country plays in today's social and cultural injustices but you won't find that here.
Ten American artists use palettes of words, visuals and sounds to wax commentary about contemporary struggles for justice and equality. Some artists have chosen to do so head-on by tackling major global inequalities such as access to safe drinking water and healthcare for women. Others have favored a more inward approach by exploring how American culture has sabotaged the development of their own identity. For these U.S. artists, their work is personal but it has global significance.
Follow along Karen Lum's spoken word rant on her "ethnic make up" that questions how the beauty industry has sabotaged her people's connection to their ancestoral heritage.
Or Shalini Kantayya's film that explores the water crisis between the haves and the have-nots through a musical portrait of two women's stories in India and America. Jolivette Mecena's article "One is Not the Lonliest Number" questions why American culture shuns single women who embrace solo time by eating alone.
Come explore the vast talent and perspective these North American artists bring to the global dialogue. Compare their work with artists from other regions. Then vote for your favorite. We promise, it will be a "fair election."

Any Day Now is enchanting. But it's the spiritual growth/ you gotta do it message that I found most moving. |

I love the image "Lily Pads." There's such a intriguing tension between the gravity of pregnancy and the lightness of floating on water. It evokes a sense of joy. |

My vote is for lily pads...I like that it is done in black and white, the way the women are arranged and the big smile on one of the women's face demonstrating that she is really enjoying showing the beauty of her form. |
