https://youtu.be/vzQY_2YgOnI will i have my subscribers leave me for posting this? people are turned into subscriptions, & you can gain more subscriptions by trying to use your support/attention/people who take you seriously, in order to take the attention away from others. transactions all the way down, no matter what your politics & your supported policies & ppl of right, center, left. no matter if your supporters really want you to that. your attention-givers are number padding, a market criterion, and your targets are just another market subscription you can take padding away from. turning your own social circles into market segments capitalists can sell to, based on the people your circle targets as bad & the things the ppl leftover (haven't been cancelled yet) like & might buy into. your circle can even be turned into a brand if you function as a Whale/boon for advertisers. it didn't come from Black American/ New-|nu-afrikan civil rights movements. that's not what ppl are referring to, and even Black Americans are sick of what ppl are referring to (treating ppl like subscriptions & giving bad attention to ppl to give yourself good attention. this has outsourced the disciplinary mechanisms of capitalist markets. you're bursting people's "bubble" to inflate your own, whether you intend to or not. using "Black culture" (a fraction of Black Americans on Twitter from the last decade, & vague language from decades earlier) to excuse the dehumanizing disciplinary outsourcing of capitalist control is really gross bc the marketizing & subscription'izing of people is harmful no matter who invented the terminology "you're cancelled". , , . , . , #transpersonal #dialecticalmaterialism #anticapitalist #anticapitalism #disability #crip #capitalism #socialism #social #structuralracism #structuraloppression #oppression #cancelculture #callout #callinculture #representation #systemicoppression #vanguard #sp500 #accesibility #pride #alienation #neoliberalism @neocolonialism #exploitation #globalsouth #hegemony #leftism #leftisbest #labor #lefttube , , .... https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce_fXevu-KM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

About the Archive

This archive is a culminating project for the summer 2017 course, “Art in the Age of #BlackLivesMatter,” at the University of Virginia. It is a curated window into the views and discussions we have developed during the course. In conjunction with the Black Lives Matter movement in the U.S., we have learned how to analyze works from a variety of artists across a range of mediums, looking closely at art produced since 2012 that addresses contemporary black American social life.

This digital archive contains some of our best analyses and observations concerning key pieces and artists featured in our course material. In analyzing paintings, photographs, collages, films, poems, short stories, graphic novels, and popular music, we formed arguments focused on racial injustice and its persistence in America. We also saw with greater visibility the legacy of slavery in the United States, and how structural oppression permeates the politics of representation. With this project, we have become historians, curators, and creators of contemporary art and culture. By compiling our arts writing in this way, we have catalogued selected works made in the age of Black Lives Matter, and have historicized them in doing so. Our posts are categorized based on medium and genre, and where there are multiple posts on the same art object, we have featured different perspectives. Scrolling through, you will also get a sense of our individual voices, cultural sensibilities, and stylistic tics. We see this archive as a digital platform that facilitates mindful and ethical discussions surrounding so-called political art, providing insight into the relationships between art, race, protest, and representation.
