Behind the Signs
Editors’ Note: This story serves as an extension of our most recent cover package, “Louder Than Words,” in which we discussed the power of protest art and music in the context of social and political movements. We did our best to incorporate the impact of the Black Lives Matter movement in our print issue, but ran up against a print deadline and were unable to include the most recent developments. In this article, we want to highlight the diverse voices and initiatives of students in our area as well as stand in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.

Rebecca Cheng – From Art to Activism
As an artist tackling issues of racism and injustice, Rebecca Cheng has faced pushback through censorship, due to concerns regarding her art’s suitability for public viewing. Despite these barriers, Cheng’s artistic journey has evolved to use non-traditional mediums to illustrate a personal narrative and criticize the inequalities in our modern society.
Censor This, #%@*!
Blocking expression has become a prominent issue, preventing artists from communicating their beliefs and in turn halting society's ability to grow from the exposure to controversial perspectives.
Seeing the Invisible
Most artwork focuses on interpreting and abstracting the beauty that is experienced in the familiar world around us. Recently, artistic concepts have been discovered within science and technology, revealing both the invisible and the undetectable by bringing forth the natural beauty of these hidden worlds.
