(Emma Amos moved to New York City after feeling stunted by the slow move of the Atlanta art scene. Amos was not expecting the level of racism, sexism, and ageism that she encountered upon moving to New York.)

- Not sure if this is correct, in that the author for the article is speaking for the character, unless it was specifically mentioned in the source?

Feminism >

(she has always been aware of the adversities she faces in her everyday life.)

- "everyday life" is linked which seems strange and unnecessary.

Nick Cave has been known for making sound suits since the early 1990s. [1]

In 1992, the news of Rodney King's situation led to Nick Caves inspiration to start his soundsuit series. [1]

Cave responds to many issues regarding African American life and violence in America as a means to "create a suit of armor" through his sound suits series. [2]

The "sound" in soundsuits comes from an implied sound that the viewer is meant to imagine rather than that of actual sound. [2]

Cave utilizes many found objects in his work ranging from ceramic birds & flowers, figurines, and various objects found throughout thrift stores, antique malls, and family cupboards. [2]

Nick Cave's exhibition UNTIL at MASS MoCA building 5 is a multi-part installation that fills a space of 18,000 square feet. [3] The installation includes a vast number of wind spinners including custom made spinners, various found objects, mirrors, and a crystalline cloud like structure with chandeliers [3]

Nick Cave's Up Right performance piece was showcased in Shreveport and Detroit. [4]

Much of Nick Cave's work is meant to create a dialogue around race, social class, violence, and power relations regarding visual arts. [5]

Nick Cave's Meet Me at the Center of the Earth exhibition includes fifty sound suits.

Nick Cave was raised in a small town in Texas by a single mother and with 6 other brothers.

During Cave's younger years, he performed with the Alvin Ailey dance troop.

Cave originally studied fiber art and in 1982 received his BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute. Later in 1989, he went on to receive his MFA from the Cranbrook Academy of Art.

As of 1989 Cave has taught in the Fiber arts Program at the Art Institute of Chicago.

Cave has ran a successful clothing company in Chicago, designing, manufacturing, and marketing his own line of men & women's clothing. [6]

Graduating from Hickman High School in 1977, he enrolled in the Kansas City Art Institute. There he continued to express himself through both visual art and performance art and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1982.[4] In 1979, Cave met Alvin Ailey and spent that summer and several summers thereafter in New York, New York studying with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre.[2] After graduating from the Kansas City Art Institute in 1981, he designed displays for the department store, Macy's, and worked professionally as a fashion designer, while continuing his passions as an artist and dancer. Cave earned his M.F.A. degree from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan in 1988.[5] He also did some graduate coursework at North Texas State University.[1]
