remembering Tiananmen Square

[artRAMinMN]

since this is the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests and massacre, I thought it would also be good to remember the tribute that occurred virtually simultaneously at VCU... thankfully, someone else has done the work of writing about it, and so I simply link to it...

As their art student counterparts in China had been murdered in the shadow of their 33-foot-tall sculpture, in Richmond a group of VCU-affiliated artists heard the call of inspiration to stand with those who had fallen. They knew they had to build a replica of the lost Goddess.
