(bottom) slavick outside her office at University of North Carolina“As an interdisciplinary artist, studio art professor, activist, and an American, I am compelled to confront difficult and complex issues in my work out of a deep sense of responsibility. I work from the privileged position of an American academic, but I am filled with guilt, shame, and horror due to my government’s policies and actions. The American media fails us day in and day out by providing propaganda and half-truths. Although I do not believe that people are tired of knowing the truth or incapable of empathy, I understand that it may be easier for most Americans to choose a state of denial. Protesting Cartography is my personal creative response, my attempt to confront and unravel this criminal knot of lies.” - Slavick, on Protesting Cartography
