A self-described “big, fat, bleeding-heart liberal” artist with “massive guilt” over her “white privilege” is inadvertently letting her progressive privilege peek through.

For only a progressive is allowed to exploit the deaths of nine Bible study attendees in the name of art available for purchase by listing their names on a Confederate flag.

Ti-Rock Moore, a New Orleans-based artist, last weekend debuted her latest exhibit in Chicago, featuring caricatures of Christ on the cross with a bag over his head and the message “I can’t breathe,” multiple perversions of the American flag and cell bars made of money rolls with black faces behind them.

Included, too, are messages about “white privilege” across a backdrop of saltine cracker boxes, a black Statue of Liberty and a noose hanging from a neon sign that says “nickle ride.”

In an interview with PelicanBomb.com, Moore says she first obtained permission from the Brown family to portray their son dead on the floor, available for gawking.

“I was concerned about the family’s reaction to the work at first, but I knew I needed to ask their permission out of respect for their son. Not only did they give me their blessing, but they felt it would preserve the memory of their son and keep the movement going,” she says.

But Michael Brown, Sr. is denouncing the exhibit.

“I really, really would like for them to take that away,” the teen’s father tells Fox 2. “I think it’s disturbing, disgusting … that picture is still in my head.”

Now, The Frisky is revealing the prices of Moore’s work.

i can't breathe artAccording to writer Tiffanie Drayton:

  • an image of crucified Jesus, stifled by a bag over his head, with the title “I Can’t Breathe” – $5,000
  • a piece that supposedly critiques the Tea Party entitled “The Last Stand of the White Man” – $5000
  • a Confederate flag with the names of the nine victims of the Charleston massacre – $4,500

As Drayton points out, “there are no indications that any of the money made from this exhibit will be going to the families of those who were slain and oppressed and provided ‘inspiration’ for the artwork.”

In the Pelican Bomb interview, Moore describes her world view:

I am an activist first and an artist second. My art manifests from my acute awareness of my own white privilege and the fact that this privilege is directly traced to slavery; the reality that white privilege is the cornerstone of American democracy. Many white Americans are in denial when it comes to their own privilege. Isn’t this the great moral issue of our time?

She is likely a capitalist third — peddling “art” exploiting the tragedy and grief of the families of innocent Bible study attendees in Charleston, South Carolina.

When asked about that, Moore responded, “My art is expensive to make. I am very far in the hole, and it has gotten to the point that I must start making money to be able to make more art.”
