LCD Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 This was just posted today - http://www.buzzfeed.com/madonna/are-you-with-me I don't see her list of inspiring artists though? Unless they're on the website, I haven't looked yet. (Edit to update: the list is here now - http://www.buzzfeed.com/madonna/11-freedom-fighters-who-have-inspired-me ) Are You With Me? posted on April 3, 2014 at 10:58am EDT Madonna BuzzFeed Contributor Attention BuzzFeed: After traveling around the world and witnessing an overwhelming amount of discrimination, intolerance, and bigotry — I felt I needed to make a statement. I started ArtForFreedom.com in September 2013 to give artists everywhere a platform to define what freedom means to them and to allow them to express their right for freedom of expression. Now I am asking you — the BuzzFeed community — to share with me and others your artistic expression of freedom. This can be in the form of photography, video, dance, poetry, etc. I will be going through those entries directly on April 14 at 6 p.m. and giving you my input and encouragement to let your voice be heard LOUDLY. An artist has the responsibility to not only reflect society, but to shape it. If you need any inspiration, I made you a BuzzFeed-worthy list of some of the many freedom fighters who have guided me along the way with their actions as well as their art. Are you with me? Then submit below and I will see you on April 14. — Madonna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icykiller Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Oh god Madonna, why? People, Frida Khalo did nothing for the Mexican Revolution. She das, though, am active member of the Communist party in México. Just has to Clear that out. Other than that, I'm glad she's still pushing this Project.

Pedro Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I think that Madonna admires Friday Khalos artistic vision and a brave female aesthetic that doesn't perform to the norm nor that she was a Mexican revolutionary figure in that sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivy Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Aside from pussy riot who are more of a fashion statement when compared to the others, but what a brilliant list!!! I probably would have substituted pussy riot with M.I.A as a Tamil tiger freedom fighter ( if needing someone modern ). Let's hope these people inspire Madonna with her new album, instead of girls drinking tanquray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anastaza Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Is this something we get to watch live? I am so confused... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rocco Papa Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) I'm just as confused as everyone else. I submitted a bunch of stuff, but I don't know where this "live curation" is happening. Does anyone have any idea? UPDATE: Here you go MNationers!! Madonna is posting her responses to submissions via the "activity" tab on her BuzzFeed page.

LCD Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 Comments from Buzzfeed staffers on Twitter "Madonna is in the BuzzFeed office, and I will be live-tweeting weird things she says. Recently: "Is that a real penis?" "We asked Madonna to write what comes to mind with "Vladimir Putin" and she wrote "gay" and deleted it and I said KEEP IT and she said OK." "MADONNA ASKED "HOW DO YOU SCROLL DOWN?" BREAKING: MADONNA PAYS PEOPLE TO SCROLL FOR HER. I WISH I WAS THAT RICH." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
