Artist Files: Exploring Unresolved Histories

Daniel Bejar does the work of an unmalicious vandal. He generally uses public maps like the MTA's subway maps and Google Earth to talk about colonialism. He intervenes in spaces that people travel through to explore unresolved histories, pose critical questions, and affect social change. Check out Daniel's profile.

  • How can art expand or undermine historical narratives? 
  • Are artists responsible for engaging with history?
  • What is the duty of artists who explore history?
