Plastic artist writer, singer and social activist, Yoko Ono—born in Japan in 1933—has been in the spotlight for decades and still retains the strength to continue fighting for feminism, women's empowerment and peace. Since the beginning of his career he has followed the same ideals and all his works have been faithful to the philanthropic and anti-violence line. To date, the conceptual artist has continued to hold exhibitions in different museums around the world, including Mexico City, showing compilations of her most representative pieces that preach that “the war is over” ( war is over ) or unpublished works, although in smaller quantities, which complement these collections. We had the opportunity to talk with the artist, who reaffirmed her tireless feminist vision and a philosophy of collaboration and collective effort as the key to true social change. “I am deeply concerned about the fact that the world has become very violent and I think part of it is because there is not good communication between men and women,” says Yoko Ono as we begin our interview.
A premise that permeates her entire speech. “The solution to this is through the empowerment of women. And what I mean is that power reaches women to America Mobile Number List share it with men, not to take it away from them,” she explains. The artist considers that the power in women has been growing over the years but it is still not real power, but on many occasions it is apparent and what really happens is that women are used. Her philosophy, she explains, is not about defending women from working or supporting a family, but about giving the power to make a change, to be in decision-making positions, and that is what the difference. “That is the way in which women can contribute towards a more peaceful society,” says she, who was part of the Fluxus movement founded by several conceptual artists. 1 “Power must come to women to be shared with men, not to be taken away.” —Yoko Ono Yoko Ono reveals to us that she has focused all her efforts on achieving global change, this has been her driving force, her philosophy of life and the reason why she became an artist.
Artists can modify society because their power is very humble. What you do can mean a change in society, so you must be very careful. But it's not just doing something, but thinking something, seeing something, anything can change the world. And that is why you must be very scrupulous in what you believe and what you say,” she points out. However, Ono, who studied philosophy in Japan, confesses that his way of seeing life and situations has changed over the years, making him glimpse new facets of society and conflicts. “Now what I have learned is to see people's souls. Power also lies in understanding others and, if you use that wisdom, it is the beginning of a change,” he expresses. Likewise, he confessed to us that she does not live in the past, but that her vision must focus on the present. She refers to the 60s as “a myth, a dream,” which is not the reality that she or society lives today. Instead of keeping our eyes on previous times, on the nostalgia of other times, he urges people to focus on what they know how to do, because that is the weapon to contribute something to others. “Change happens, even when you don't want it to, even when you're asleep.
