Art and Identity
Art communicates, educates, and influences values, where there can be knowledge linked to identity, which makes it possible for certain groups to identify with a piece of artwork. Art is closely linked with identity and identity constructions based on how people identify themselves and believe, and people identify themselves in different ways. Identity relates to how people share affinities and the values that influence how an individual or group of people view themselves. Artistic production can be an important source and means of knowledge, while also reflecting the artist's identity and worldview. Art is helpful for the expression of experiences, creativity, and feelings, and environmental art is increasingly common, touching on nature and environmental protection. There is a focus on Olafur Eliasson’s installation of an indoor Riverbed in a museum as part of environmental art.
  I have note tended great environmental conferences like many of the most famous environmental activists, but I have dedicated their lives to the environment raise awareness about climate change and the importance of conserving nature. I believe in equality and the need to protect the environment. I first became interested in environmentalism after reading the Woburn, Massachusetts water contamination case where residents alleged contamination from chemicals in their water sources in a 1982 lawsuit. There were carcinogens, but the company responsible did not want to take responsibility for the contamination. People are partly a product of their environment how they view themselves and how they are treated. However, race is not always destiny as people have free will and make choices that influence outcomes in their lives. People from different races have some distinctive characteristics passed down genetically, but the differences are not huge that some people should think of themselves as superior and treat others as inferior External appearance and physical development are the most obvious inherited characteristics, but a person's way of thinking is linked to what they are exposed to and people from different races in the same cultural contexts tend to share similarities in their worldviews.
