The Promise Of America: Myth Or Reality? With Amir Fallah
Description
How does America look like to persons of immigrant background right now? How does the promise of America that they have believed growing up square with the realities of injustice and intolerance? Is America really great or will the things that make it great eventually be its downfall? David Jensen and Cecily Chambers get some powerful insights to these questions from California-based artist, Amir Fallah. Amir’s experiences as someone who comes from an immigrant background solidified his views on how America measures up in terms of justice, equality, diversity and inclusion. He powerfully expresses these insights in this conversation. Amir also talks about other subjects on this episode, including his honest thoughts on Bandsky’s graffiti art, the relationship between ambition and rebellion, his unique portraiture style, and outsiderness and success.
