2 works from the Tate Modern that took my breath away, then prompted much much thought

I love the color red in paintings especially, and I love surrealist portraiture/whatever u would call the 2nd painting..

Jumaa (1961) by Uche Okeke & Dedication of a Solider (1967) by Yamashita Kikuyi

😌 its all going to be okay

it’s been a few weeks since i sat down to listen to this video essay over eating a yummy dinner, and i am much still thinking about it. he sums up some of the largest things that have been consuming my fears and worries, and i’m sure you may feel similarly

give it a watch !! (GUYZ NOOOOO I JUST RETURNED AND HE DELETED thE VIDEO? rip)

YouTube Video Essay MODERN CLASSIC. This should be required reading for everyone with a social media account, anyone ever tbh. Don’t ever let someone say its not that deep, because it is.

& Lani’s channel is incredible, I encourage u to subscribe!!!

had the insane privilege of attending Butler’s lecture back in November and the echo of their words have followed every anxiety and existential crisis I’ve experienced regarding America’s contemporary moment,

my dad read Kafka’s The Trial after I spoke so much of it to him when I was reading it for a class all about Kafka’s work I took Fall 2024 — I’ve tried to sit down to re-watch this lecture with him, but it keeps falling through. I can’t imagine how he could continue to pass off the gravity of ICE’s horrendous violence after listening to Butler’s lecture.
