Shit people say to sick and disabled queers,
And shit sick and disabled queers say (to each other, to other people, to themselves)
And repeat!

This is fantastic and funny and exactly right and full of great people (and my hero Leah Lakshmi). And I say this as someone who took her antidepressants and anti-inflammatories and fibro meds this morning and is on her way out for therapy.

Black Girl In Suburbia (documentary trailer)

Black Girl In Suburbia is a feature documentary that looks into the experiences of Black girls growing up in predominately white communities. This is a different look into suburbia from the perspective of women of color. This film explores through professional and personal interviews the conflict and issues Black girls have relating to both white and Black communities.

Black Girl In Suburbia intends to spark an open dialogue about race, identity, and perspective among all people, in hopes that these discussions will allow us to reconsider perceptions of ourselves, others and the communities in which we live and share.

Release date 2014

I love how Santigold breaks down the continuum of our cultural shift. I am an adamant believer in the notion that there will be this “explosive renewal after the consumption of everything.” As a theorist and analyst of the shifts within the continuum of African American/Black American culture, mainly within the realm of the creative sector, I am eager to see what fills some of the empty holes in the arts and society in general.

 

The artistic cultural production is certainly seeing a shift as more artists are taking from the past or utilizing rudimentary materials and found objects. Yes, assemblage has been around, but the mind-frame surrounding the usage of found objects is very different.  It speaks to a sense of doing more with ones hands as well as mastering various forms of tradition while re-imagining its use in contemporaneity when consumption is at an all time high. It is not born out of having little, but out of having an array of materials/information and yet critically deciding what information is important enough to stay within the cultural landscape being created. A coded language occurs between the assemblages of consumption and curation. 

I myself fall into this shift with the work I am currently producing, more on my new work sooner than later. An artist who questions and seeks to answer his/her questions can come off a bit peculiar during the process. So, I’ll just be still for a bit…haha.
