This Ron DeSantis Statue Can’t Take the Heat

A recent public art installation, a gallium statue of Ron DeSantis by climate group 350 Action, literally melted under the Tallahassee sun.

For early-career women artists, it's a potent reminder: your medium can be your message. Consider how your art can spark dialogue, even if temporary, and challenge the status quo. Embrace bold statements and the unique impact art has in shaping public discourse and advocating for change, demonstrating resilience in messaging. — Source: Hyperallergic
