我們的世界正在燃燒
約翰·伯格曾在散文〈反抗潰敗的世界〉中寫到北方文藝復興畫家波許(Hieronymus Bosch)的〈千禧年三聯畫〉(Millennium Triptych):「波許巧妙預言了二十世紀末以來全球化和經濟新秩序強加於世界的精神氛圍」——工業革命的加速發展、全球財富與貧窮的無限擴大、新秩序的建立,包括蠻橫的極權主義、全球性的遷徙與移居、跨國際的猖狂犯罪、民族國家的崛起與殞落、打破界線藩籬的新自由主義與市場、反全球新秩序的各種勢力,此起彼落地在各地發聲。

Press Invitation @viennasecession Swipe 👉 1,2 John Akomfrah A recurrent motif in his art that connects all three works on film is water, which acts as a reservoir of recollections; in the immensity of the ocean, it also marks the scene of the colonial conquests and the transatlantic slave trade as well as contemporary migrant flows. 3,4,5 Michael E. Smith He does not finalize his works until he installs them in the exhibition setting, and many take concrete form only during this phase or even owe their existence to a moment’s inspiration. The concentration on few objects in the room creates an impression of capaciousness and emptiness - a metaphor, perhaps, for the loneliness and precariousness of human existence at large - that enhances the significance of each work and becomes an integral part of the art.

Artist Dread Scott Organizes Reenactment Of 1811 Louisiana Slave Revolt : NPR https://nolachic.blog/2019/11/10/artist-dread-scott-organizes-reenactment-of-1811-louisiana-slave-revolt-npr/ Armed with pitchforks, cane knives, machetes and muskets, about 300 people dressed in period costumes, some on horseback, marched toward New Orleans as part of the second day of artist Dread Scott’s elaborate re-enactment of the 1811 German Coast slave revolt. The rebellion, considered the largest slave revolt in the nation’s history, ended with a slave-owner’s militia executing about two-dozen rebels, and placing their heads on poles as a warning to others. On Saturday, Dread Scott’s re-enactment ended with a celebration in Congo Square alongside musicians, dancers, drummers, and healers. #nolalife #slaverebellion, #filmmaker #JohnAkomfrah, #NewOrleans #SlaveRebellionReenactment, #slaverevolt, #africanamerican, #GermanCoastUprising, #nola, #Slavery, #dreadscott, #culture, #history, #SlaveRebellionReenactment, #1811, #nolablogger #neworleans #frenchquarter #melanin #blackhistory #africanhistory #blackpeople #blackness #march #freedom #riot #event #blacklivesmatter #power #reclaim (at New Orleans, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ryQMpl2Xl/?igshid=1qzp4pefxb4pb
