While there is no specific statement, placards, or spoken artistic objective to 'Crisis Tourism' this exhibit speaks out in a similar manner to the organization Act Up during the Aids crisis. Crisis Tourism may not have the blatant objective on what it is trying to inform its audience about a certain cause, but rather it displays a more abstract idealism within its works despite the bold and almost political lettering involved within the exhibition peices. The words scrawled against photographs in this exhibit show a connection to the stylized fonts and bold interfaces that are used in Act up posters or any pieces involving the aids crisis. Though while both are blatantly different each one grabs the viewers attention and brings them to focus on whatever is metaphorically shouting at them through these art works.
