Abstract
Investigation of the basis for prevailing attitudes towards vulnerable populations within the context of the global refugee crisis occurring in the mid to late 2010's. The formal, conceptual, cultural, and material concerns considered in the creation of the art work There, There (Culling Comfort) and how these attributes reflect contemporary and historical attitudes as viewed through the lens of personal experience are examined. A range of strategies contemporary artists have employed to engage with related issues to achieve similar ends are also explored.
