KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF
Art as a Weapon Against Injustice: From the murals of the Vietnam War demonstrations to Banksy’s provocative stencil art – painting has always amplified political voices. Diego Rivera adorned public walls with monumental scenes against capitalism, and now Dain Yoon takes up this tradition.
Her work shines a burning light on domestic violence: In the USA, one in four women and one in seven men report experiencing intimate partner violence. The painted hands, which wrap around the neck like shackles, symbolize the invisible chains that hold victims captive in silent cycles of violence. A call to action: Violence is not a “private problem,” but a societal disease that can only be cured through political willpower.
