Une vision assez radicale de la culture (pas celle de Banks, mais celle des industries culturelles) en 2024. En lisant ce genre de texte, je me demande comment sera vue l'industrie "de la tech" dans cinquante ans. Mais je pense que cette question aura plutôt sa place sur mon blog. https://www.honest-broker.com/p/the-state-of-the-culture-2024 #culture #art #media #addiction #critique

Protip for resisters: using AI art for your memes and posters discredits your message. Don’t do it. Create your own work, hire a human artist, or buy stock images instead.

Colonizers loot our art and then devalue it at the same time. This is why you see white art traders selling #AfricanArt at a premium but actual African artists suffer and die broke. I think specifically of #NestaNala as I write this. She was a Zulu potter from South Africa, held in a similar esteem as #MariaMartinez. Learn her story.

Never believe that your #art doesn’t matter, especially if you’re of a marginalized identity. We’re constantly being duped and brainwashed and it’s maddening.
A photo of Zulu potter Nesta Nala (1940-2005) standing behind a batch of her shiny black pottery.


I always figured the British colonized #Nigeria primarily for its natural resources, but I recently came to understand how valuable they found the #artsandcrafts of the #KingdomOfBenin to be. I always figured this was a secondary interest, but that’s incorrect. The British understood the cultural & economic value of art, yet somehow today we’re made to question whether the #art we make has any value. #colonization #colonisation

das quadratische bild zeigt eine kugelschreiberskizze auf einem beigefarbenen umschlag.
von links unten nach rechts oben ist mit einem blauen kugelschreiber der oberkörper einer männlichen figur gezeichnet.
die figur eines etwas älteren mannes hat fast eine glatze und einen sehr kleinen melonenhut auf dem kopf. hinter den ohren oder am hinterkopf scheinen haare zu wachsen.
die stirn ist gerunzelt, die rechte augenbraue hochgezogen. das linke auge ist umkreis, wie ein monokel. die lippen sind wulstig, die wangen eingefallen und das kinn sehr ausgeprägt. der mann trägt hemd und krawatte, darüber einen mantel, der aber nicht so fein gezeichnet ist wie der rest.
die figur hat einen übergroßen kopf und sieht skurill aus.
rechts unten ist eine addition (12+6+3=21) zu sehen. links oben sind drei lange zahlen, die zu irgendwelchen texten gehören. diese sind aber beschnitten und daher fast nicht zu sehen.


While much of contemporary are seems to have lost touch with narrative & representation, equally (having not been represented for so long) black (African) artists are celebrating/recording the black experience in powerful paintings....

Here's Jean David Nko's tiredbody (2021) to illustrate the point
