Featured at the New York Historical Society Museum, there is a gallery of artworks that show different populations that make up New York City (NYC). These plaster busts were created with the help of four resident women at a homeless shelter on Park Ave. The project by artists John Ahearne and Rigoberto Torres was created about the homeless crisis in NYC using the transformation of art through plaster models made from real persons.The space around the busts is symbolic of the space and shelter that should be given to the homeless as part of the community.
Our current polity and elites fail to deliver a fair and
reasonable Australia for generations beyond the Baby Boomers. Politicians focus
on power and protection of economic rents (for unions and businesses), stifling the
changes that must be made.
If Australia is to create the appropriate environment for
future generations to flourish, we need to find a way around the policy inertia
that afflicts our governing politicians.
Citizen deliberative forums can sort through the facts and
help the community understand common good policy initiatives to take our nation
forward. Politicians can then legislate knowing the hard yards have been done!
