Yoko Ono

so yoko ono was a Japanese musician, artist, author and activist for peace. Yoko is known for her work in avant-garde art, music and filmmaking. If you didnt already know, which i could understand if you dont is that Yoko was famously known for being married to the great beatles legend, John Lennon. she has other accomplishments such as being a collaborater/somewhat creator of New Wave music; she also brought feminism to the eyes of people through her music and work. her activism consists of many attributes, however she is the biggest supporter in gay rights, peace, and AIDS research.
when she is remembered for her avant-garde art it simply means art that pushes (or pushed) the limit that people expect, what many call the norm. one of her most famous pieces was her contribution into the preformance art world. the piece was called "cut piece" and what she did was go up on a stage and she cut a piece of her sweater off and sat down and she had told the people to feel free to come up and do the same. then she was silent until the audience had cut everything off and she was left completly naked on stage.
her art preformances touched people and made them open their eyes to social tendancies that the public has. although her art was touching i just think generally who she is as a person so good and open to the world just radiates power and change.
