Global Poetry Response#blacklivesmatter
Practitioner:
Mbizo Chirasha
Date:
Jul 7 0020
To state or chant ‘BLACK LIFE’S MATTER’ is not to say other lives don’t matter, it’s a reminder that four hundred years and counting, black lives didn’t matter enough. Not during the dark era of slave trade and its horrors on the African, not after slavery ended and blacks were left holding the short end of the stick.

Adidas by Stella McCartney’s SS21 collection calls on us to protect our oceans
Practitioner:
Stella McCartney w/ Adidas, Monika Mogi, Netti Hurley
Date:
Apr 1 2021
When we think about the protectors of our oceans, our mind is instantly drawn to the image of the lifeguard. Pamela Anderson and David Hasselhoff in bright red swimsuits, their enviable bodies on show, as they run along the coastline. As a result our concept of the role has an elitism about it.

This artist’s red shoes stand in for all the women lost to violence
Practitioner:
Elina Chauvet
Date:
Jan 11 2020
Elina Chauvet’s red shoes are worldly. They’ve been in Milan, Italy, and Grand Rapids, Michigan. Not just one pair, but hundreds — red boots, red heels, red toddler shoes. They’re not there to see the sights, but to take up space. Especially when the women or girls who would have worn them no longer take up any space, except in the lives of their loved ones.

Suite Venitienne

Sophie Calle

Jan 1 1979
Sophie Calle's works discuss the issue of "privacy", the composition of an individual's identity at the social level, and the relationship between "private" and "public/group/society", including personal information, personal records, public surveillance, and other topics. An obvious feature of her works is the unique and extremely subjective criteria of judgment and reference for measurement.

Richmond's new take on Robert E. Lee
Practitioner:
Black Lives Matter Protestors
Date:
Jun 5 2020
Over the winter break, I was actually able to see the recently re-decorated Robert E. Lee statue in Richmond, Virginia. After the height of the Black Lives Matter Protests over the past summer, it couldn’t be torn down, but it was fully wrapped with protest art. All phrases and slogans (such as Black Trans Lives Matter, ACAB, Etc.) were in full display over the statue of the infamous Confederate General.
