Although most artwork is segregated with much of the kudos going to—of course—white men, I have come to realize that the most beautiful, talented and thought-provoking art comes from people that have experienced oppression and injustice, with many places in Oklahoma finally showing, rightfully, those pieces of work to the public.
It’s the same, possibly worse, in the underground art scene, with minorities having to fight to make their voices heard and their art seen over said white men. A step into the future was taken this past Saturday, however, at the inaugural Sunny Dayz Mural Art Festival, 925 W. Britton Rd., as women of all races, creeds and colors put their art on display for all to see and all to admire.
