What's The Difference Between A POW And A Homeless Person? 1990

Editor: So, this piece is a poster by the Guerrilla Girls called "What's the Difference Between A POW And A Homeless Person?". It's pretty stark, and the text makes you think. What jumps out at you? Curator: Well, it's a slap in the face, isn't it? The Guerrilla Girls, ever the provocateurs, use this stark contrast to expose a deep societal hypocrisy. They are questioning who we, as a society, choose to protect and who we leave behind. It stings, doesn't it? Editor: It really does. I guess I never thought about it that way. I am so grateful for that perspective! Curator: It's a bitter pill, but art should challenge us, stir our consciences, make us think beyond the surface. Art holds up a mirror. I hope we can all see more clearly and act more compassionately.
