Taxpayers fund pregnant anal-rape artwork in anti-Trump university exhibit - The College Fix


Taxpayers fund pregnant anal-rape artwork in anti-Trump university exhibit - The College Fix:
"There are many ways to depict the effect of the Dakota Access Pipeline, approved earlier this year by the Trump administration, on American Indian communities in its path.
One of them is by sodomizing a pregnant woman.
...Perhaps the most obscene painting in the exhibit is Lindi Shi’s, “Free Porn on ‘Your Tube.'”
The work of “art” depicts an apparently pregnant woman being sexually penetrated by an oil pipeline.
It’s a not-so-subtle representation of the artist’s view on the battle over the Dakota Access Pipeline near the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North Dakota.

“This image briefly concludes what happened to the Indian tribe. 
I can’t believe Trump would do anything for economic benefit. 
I would like all viewers to think about the relationship between humans and nature,” Shi states in the notes.
The painting is priced at $60.
The exhibit is the work of the Wisconsin Union Directorate Art Committee, which is funded by taxpayers.
Art-related programs received $17,350 this fiscal year, while the entire Wisconsin Union Directorate received $778,981, an 11 percent increase over the previous fiscal year, according to the union council’s January meeting minutes.
