This quote from the artist, Patrick “Pato” Herbert, stayed with me: So beauty is so profoundly subjective that just sharing the beauty that we know of each other becomes profoundly political. That’s what we do as artists and activists. Share the beauty we know of each other, of lives outside the dominant culture, economy and media. Keep insisting on the beauty and value of those lives, those voices, those communities, worlds, and realities. Keep expanding the definitions of beauty. posted by shailja at 4:42 PM 0 Comments: Post a Comment Links to this post: <$BlogBacklinkTitle$> <$BlogBacklinkSnippet$> posted by <$BlogBacklinkAuthor$> @ <$BlogBacklinkDateTime$> Create a Link << Home Previous Posts dangerous beauty From the Archives, 4/1/03: Flow From the Archives, March 10, 2003: HEARTSICK Children of Uganda Naissance let there be hell Window that made me smile in Neubau, Vienna From the Archives, 2/1/03: Eros in the Real there's a kind of tired From the Archives, 1/26/03: REGIME CHANGE IN KENYA...
