50 Ways People Expect Constant Emotional Labor from Women and Femmes

So many of these are gender norms we don’t even think twice about. But have you thought about what it means to do all this work for free?

Coco Fusco and Guillermo Gomez-Peña

‘Two Undiscovered Amerindians Visit the West’ was performed in 1992 by Coco Fusco and Guillermo Gomez-Peña as part of the exhibition The Year of the White Bear at the Walker. In the frame of widespread commemoration of the 500-year anniversary of Columbus’s arrival to the Americas, ‘The Year of the White Bear’ sought to make visible the legacy of colonialism in the wake of the Columbian encounter, especially in regards to the captivity, exploitation, and abuse of indigenous people. Though conquest and genocide were at the forefront of revisionist histories of Columbus’s encounter, his legacy as it pertains to human display remains often overlooked. In 1493 Columbus returned to Spain and brought back with him several Arawaks, one of whom was left on display at the Spanish court for two years. Like centuries of indigenous people that followed, he was intended to perform both an educational and entertainment function within the court, by providing opportunity for aesthetic contemplation and scientific analysis. Two years after his arrival to Spain he died, purportedly of sadness. http://blogs.walkerart.org/visualarts/2014/10/14/a-history-of-revisionism-contemporary-art-and-columbusindigenous-peoples-day/ Image: Walker Archives

ACCEPT AMBIVALENT FEELINGS. Although you start to accept your feelings there will come the time when desires are crushing. It will not end. Learn to accept the polyvalences in collectivity and love your ambivalence. 

BE AWARE OF YOUR PRIVILEGES OR NON-PRIVILEGES AND UNLEARN THEM. Whatever your identity is - start to be aware of it. Take responsibility of it and participate in the process of unlearning colonialist, sexist, racist, homophobist,... patterns of behavior. Learn to be proud w/o honor.
