I WANT A PRESIDENT WHO …
SPEAKS SPANISH
But, WHAT I REALLY WANT is
A PRESIDENT who respects Latinos, their language and their culture.
I WANT A PRESIDENT who has read Cortázar, García Márquez, and Borges, Junot Díaz and Cabrera Infante, Carlos Fuentes and Jorge Amado, Roberto Bolaño and Ana Lydia Vega, Alejo Carpentier and Luis Rafael Sánchez.
I WANT A PRESIDENT who knows the poetry of Pablo Neruda and Gabriela Mistral, Alfonsina Storni and Julia de Burgos. A President who admires Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, and loves to read Cervantes as much as Shakespeare.
THAT PRESIDENT would understand the 55 million Latinos who make up 17% of this country. THAT PRESIDENT would understand that the word AMERICA represents two continents.

The fantastic exhibition Marilyn Minter: Pretty/Dirty opened at the Brooklyn Museum last Friday. In honor of this exciting and provocative artist, the Brooklyn Museum Libraries and Archives filled one of our display cases with materials related to her work. While rummaging through our artist files, I came across an announcement for Minter’s first solo museum show called New Work: Marilyn Minter at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 2005. The foldout announcement features images of Minter’s enticing and gorgeous photorealistic paintings. It was the perfect item to include in our display case. While meeting with curators at the Brooklyn Museum a few weeks ago, Minter stopped by the library and saw the display. She was moved at the sight of the announcement, mentioning how this solo show was instrumental in the launch of her career. Precious items like this exhibition announcement are often found in our artist and institutional files. Just another rich resource available to you through the Brooklyn Museum Libraries and Archives!

Happy Birthday to the iconic Georgia O’Keeffe, who had her first museum exhibition at the @brooklynmuseum in 1927. This spring, we will present paintings, photographs, and items from the artist’s elegant and simple wardrobe in a new exhibition, Georgia O'Keeffe: Living Modern. Together, this singular exhibition will provide a focused examination of the modernist aesthetic and persona O’Keeffe crafted for herself through her dress, her art, and her progressive, independent lifestyle.
Mark your calendars, #okeeffemodern opens March 3, 2017 as part of our Year of Yes season celebrating 10 years of feminist art at the Sackler Center.

By calling Edith an Alice clone, you’re being a sexist piece of shit.
There’s a tumblr post going around with a whole lot of notes where the OP took 3 pictures of Alice and 3 pictures of Edith and put them side by side to show that Edith is imitating Alice. For people who were never even willing to give Edith a chance, that’s plenty of proof that she’s ripping off Alice, which is why it has so many notes. This post conveniently ignores hundreds of other Edith photos, plenty of which you can find on my blog, where you can see that Edith has a style and personality of her own. Edith, who is a young performer, who only got on stage for the first time last year and is touring for the first time in her life, is not even given a chance. There’s millions of girls around the world who wear “alternative” clothing, who wear red lipstick and big sunglasses, but I guess that the fact that Alice did at one point too means that Edith should only be allowed to wear Hollister or whatever. She’s not given a chance to show who she is because everything she does is written off as copying Alice, and so she’s put in this neat little box where she is only seen as Alice’s “replacement”, her own talent and agency to be in Crystal Castles is ignored, and these people do the exact same thing to Edith what has been done to women in music for years (e.g. Shirley Manson of Garbage, Courtney Love etc.). While these people are ready to attack anyone who questions Alice’s contributions to Crystal Castles (and I am not, of course) they are very willing to do that to Edith, which is hypocritical as fuck. You’re analyzing this girl based solely on her appearance, which is similar to many other girls, including myself. I am not saying everyone should like Edith, but if you’re going to write her off, don’t do it by objectifying her appearance and then call yourself a feminist.
