Mijmeringen over de Z bij Zwarte kunst van Zwarte kunstenaars

Ik ben behoorlijk in de war! Vanwege Zwarte kunst van Zwarte kunstenaars met hoofdletters Z, vanwege zwarte kunst die wordt witgewassen en vanwege het natuurkundige zwart en wit. Dat leidt tot heel wat gemijmer in mijn TOOS&ART van deze week #kunst #art

Mijmeringen over Zwarte kunst? Met een hoofdletter Z nog wel? Hoe ik daar zo op kom? Door de foto hierboven en door ‘In the Black Fantastic’. Die foto plopte vorige week zomaar te voorschijn op m’n Apple-scherm in een nieuwsbrief over kunst. De expositie ‘In the Black Fantastic’ in de Kunsthal Rotterdam (nog tot 10 april) bezocht ik al eerder in real time, zoals je dat tegenwoordig in goed…

"Oh, fuck no." The door is slammed, unfortunately for him, the guy stuck his foot in the jamb and pushed it open again.

"C'mon luv!" Constantine smiles charmingly, not waiting for Danny and entering the apartment.

At least Batman, Nightwing and Spoiler had the patience to wait for him to invite them in. Sagging against the door, he beckoned them inside.

Despite the caution, Spoiler gleefully stepped in, looking around like a child in an amusement park— which might not be too far off.

His apartment is, with all its wards and enchantments, very magical inside than it is outside.

The planetary system of another world, used as light for the living room and for practice.

(Nightwing is careful with what he touches. He still remembers the hours they spent in Mumbo Jumbo's hat.)

Batman on the other hand is following Constantine and Danny to what he assumes to be the office, if the amount of magical stuff carelessly laying around means anything.

"Alright fucker, what are you doing here? And how did you even know I live in gotham?"

John had the audacity to look abashed, scratching the back of his head with a nervous chuckle.

"Something came up and you know Gotham doesn't like me. She is much more used to you and I wanted to introduce bats to you, in case of emergency."

The young adolence stares owlishly.

(How did Constantine expect him to act at the fact that he's trusting a magical situation into the hands of a stranger?

Batman isn't sure how good the boy even is!)

"That's incredible thoughtful of you Connie." Danny hums. "What did you lose for your sorry ass to come here?"

Spoiler snorts, petting a red salamander. "He didn't lose anything." She reassures with a wave, giving an exaggerated smile and raising her brows to show that she's finding it very amusing.

Constantine sputters.

"Ancient knows how Zatanna and Raven deal with him."

Nighteing perks up from the side where he'd looked over the books, some pixie fairies(?) fawning over him? "Raven? You know her?"

Danny suppresses another sigh.

Possibly my favorite Jack Kirby panel ever

He grits his teeth through the agony, fighting his body to regain any semblance of control over it, but the panic disorients him. It's no fight. Just pure adrenal terror as the single well of power that was once his alone to draw from now drags him down to drown him. His throat can only gurgle. He reaches out again, grasping at nothing. But this time around, Wukong grabs his hand.

psst go read @payasita's slowburn, hurt/comfort, sick fic, Stone Fruit Preserves, if you haven't already :3c
