07. How does art open conversations about morality and laws? Work in Progress

Eva Serrano Reisner is a senior studying Communication Design at Parsons School of Design. Eva began her thesis journey by asking the question, "Are laws moral?" but the question felt too open, so she expanded upon this question and ended up with, "How does current American democracy prevent a true way of living under one's own morals?" She approached the question in two different ways. Her first experiment was to redesign the voting ballot, and for the final form, Eva is rewriting the laws that only contain the word "God" in the US code. The reason for this is to show the relationship between Christianity and American laws—to prove that it exists. Through this project, Eva is hoping that she could present these ideas without forcing an overly critical voice. The goal is to make people aware so that they can have their own thoughts on the matter, and allow others to take action.
