Prompt 3: Baldwin and Artists: Baldwin states that “Art is here to prove, and to help one bear, the fact that all safety is an illusion,” and that “bearing witness”
to this fact is an important responsibility of the artist. Choose an artist (creative, influencer, or someone else in the arts) that you admire and/or follow.
Explain to Baldwin why this artist interests you, and how this artist does (or doesn’t) take on the responsibility of bearing witness. How might Baldwin
respond? How would you respond to Baldwin’s response?
