Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

« Raced to Death »©️Elodie M.Richard (16x20 inches poster) This is part of a series of protests posters in defense of the Bird of Peace, the not so common pigeon.

Pigeon racing is not a sport.
It’s animal cruelty dressed in trophies and tradition.
Racing pigeons are torn from their families to be used as pawns in a system that thrives on stress, fear, and loss. Their deep bonds are exploited, they’re made to race home from long, exhausting distances, chasing a reunion that may never come.
Many never return.
Those who do are often discarded if they don’t win,
sold for dog training, left to starve, or killed by a snap of the neck.
Each “lost” bird is a slave to the racing system.
Do NOT call the number on their band. Instead, contact a local pigeon friendly rescue or pigeon friendly rehabber. You can also receive guidance from organizations such as Palomacy or GLPR.
You’re not returning a pet — you’re sending them back to a life of high stress, suffering and trauma. Exhaustion, bad weather, and injury from collisions with fencing and other structures during training and racing can interfere with the birds’ navigation ability and their safe return home. This can force birds to join feral flocks where they have no survival skills, having been raised with complete dependence on humans.
When birds are injured, they are usually killed rather than brought to a veterinarian for treatment. Finally, fanciers may use performance-enhancing drugs that can impair pigeons’ immune systems and ability to regenerate feathers.
Pigeons are not machines to serve human greed.
They are loyal, sensitive beings who deserve peace, not forced endurance, not cruelty disguised as tradition.
Break the silence.
Ban pigeon racing.
