“Every time someone says we don’t need feminism anymore, things like this come to mind. Due to insufficient dowry this young girl’s husband lacerated her face with a razor blade.” (Gwalior - India) - ph. Adrian Fisk

PHILADELPHIA — Upon walking into Strange Currencies: Art and Action in Mexico City, 1990–2000 at the Galleries at Moore, you are greeted by an outline of Mexico. It’s a proposal for a piece by Eduardo Abaroa, to wrap the borders of the entire country in cheap gold-colored chain. The piece purposely never came to fruition, and its absurdity — a total cost of US$6 million and length of 13,623 kilometers of chain — is a cheeky gesture toward the futility of the project itself. It serves as a gatekeeper for a show that avoids the obvious, ham-handed pitfalls typical of political art and instead greets the viewer with breadth, humor, and postmodern cynicism.

For black tumblr: the best of #hotephistory [Part 3/3]

On July 29, 1910, citizens in the small, predominately African American town of Slocum, Texas were massacred. This was one of many towns, such as Rosewood and Tulsa, where a successful, self-sufficient African American community was the subject of a terrorist attack designed to maintain economic white supremacy. In each town, the incident that sparked the attack was relatively insignificant and often fabricated. The death toll was comparable if not higher than in the Rosewood massacre and the Tulsa race riot (massacre), but few have heard of Slocum. A new book, The 1910 Slocum Massacre: An Act of Genocide in East Texas is an invaluable resource on this history. Continue reading here: http://zinnedproject.org/2014/07/slocum-massacre/ Also read, “Convenient Amnesia in Texas—The Slocum Massacre”: http://bit.ly/1o4oFQA A Texas school principal who is a descendant of the Slocum Massacre has asked the Zinn Education Project to help shine a light on this seldom told history. Teach about this practice in history with the lesson “Burned Out of Homes and History” by Rethinking Schools author Linda Christensen: http://bit.ly/1fDOUvG
