Just because I got an ask with it in there, i want to be clear on where I stand-

I can't say I care for the concept of "Gay Wrath Month" on here. One, because June should have also been Gay Wrath Month. Why is wrath against a system that fights to kill you not something to be Proud of? How is that not Pride in yourself and your survival? Anger is not an unhealthy or unnatural emotion that cannot coexist with other emotions, if directed towards something important! I am quite Proud of my anger, honestly. So I guess I feel weird because I don't "get" it.

But two, because I feel like the extent of "be gay do crime" on here manifests as writing questionable fiction and yelling at people of color about it as "censorship", and not like... Acts of Civil Disobedience 😅 it feels like when we say "punch Nazis" on here to feel cool, but every post I have about racism is fraught with people asking me to consider the racist's feelings and boundaries. If we ain't gone really be about it, then...

Augusta Savage, Gamin, 1929. Painted plaster.

Her most widely recognized bust, Gamin, is another depiction of a young boy. It was modeled after her nephew Ellis Ford. In this portrait bust the sitter is remarkably detailed. Ford tilts his head slightly to the right in an inquisitive nature, lips closed and in a neutral expression. Elaine Hinnant writes that “refined characterization, naturalism, realism, genre, and progressivism came together in this piece . . . It is a magnificent example of the impact of urban life on African American boys at the beginning of the American Depression in 1929.” Hinnant explains that while it is a detailed portrait of a specific boy, viewers were also able to associate the bust with the specific experience of urban African-American youth of the period.

In 1929 Savage was awarded a Rosenwald Fellowship to study in Paris and this work impressed the committee so much that they increased her award from $1,500 to $1,800.

The disturbing, seemingly organic forms created by Mireia Donat Melús include “Trou,” an interactive installation that invites the viewer’s hand into the work and shows its exploration using an interior camera. See more on HiFructose.com.

I had to think of flowers and of smiling faces and anything... big trucks filled with lumber, of birds, of Donna Donna Donna... good things only.
