Beneath the surface- Artistic expression or Cultural insensitivity- To Remember
Display of Nazi Swaztika in Photographic Display in Santa Cuz Cafe Pergalesi
A space to find community, a space to find relaxation and a space to feel at ease would be a place that I recognize in our community. I was deeply concerned and felt a sense of insensitivity when I viewed a photgraphic complilation upon the walls of Cafe Pergalesi which pictured a Nazi swatzsika blazing across the scene of what looked to be someone's bedroom.
Furthermore- it depicts an injustice that was perpetrated against an entire people which took the lives of over 6 million people of diverse backgrounds.
Do we welcome this artistic art form in our spaces of peace? I am very distubed by this image and wonder what the motivation might be to represent such a bombastic display of utter war and a symbol of persecution of the human race?
To bring this concern out to the greater community means that I stand to represent a cry from past and to remember the pains of past generations and not stay in silence but to rebuke this sinister representation.
