Whether it's a higher or lower level is up to you, but here's a kind of puzzle made from the images to see how quickly you can recognize the stereotypes.
Whatever your opinion, it's a very interesting show at the Ben Maltz Gallery at Otis through December 12th. It's called "Dedicated to the Proposition..." You can get more info here.
