Hello beautiful artists and art appreciating comrades. The school year is starting soon here in the big bad place. Each year I like to fill my classroom walls with artwork, creating a classroom gallery. To mitigate displaying my own biases, I would like to illicit your help in selecting pieces. I would love to see a few of your favorite pieces you’ve found/made recently.

Keep in mind I have an elementary school classroom in a very conservative and reactionary school district. Of course though I want my students to see as much subversive art as possible without getting fired. I can’t trans commie pill the youth without being at school. And please no AI created images.

If you could, please provide:

  • An image of the artwork (or link to it)
  • Artist name (link to artist profile/statement if possible)
  • Year created, if know (please try to select contemporary pieces)
  • Why you like the piece :)

Olive Groves #6 (2020) by Nabil Anani

i really enjoy some pieces by this contemporary Palestinian artist. he does lots of beautiful landscapes and such that could be subtle enough for a classroom setting but maybe also catch interest and spark dialogue if kids have questions about them.

some links to his work:
