Are we responsible for the government? Artist Shelly Silver posed this question, among many others both political and existential, during street interviews done in NYC for her feature-length documentary in complete world (2008). On Friday, October 14, we will be screening it and hosting an open discussion with Silver and the filmmaker and activist Louis Massiah on the meanings of citizenship in the twenty-first century and in the current election cycle.

Rooster de Shelly Silver

Shelly Silver est une artiste new-yorkaise qui utilise comme médias, la vidéo, le film, la photographie et internet. Son travail, qui brasse une large étendue de sujets et de genres, explore les relations multiformes qui tout à la fois nous connectent et nous restreignent; les routes tortueuses du plaisir et du désir; les histoires qui sont rapportées à notre sujet ou celles que nous nous construisons en retour.

Assemblyman Hikind to Skelos: "You have become my hero.  I mean that ... You are the superstar .. You are amazing"

11:49 am   •  3 April 2011 (permalink)

Here's the context that helps explain why the Boro Park Democrat (who routinely endorses Republican candidates for office) is heaping such praise upon the GOP Senate leader, from City Hall News:

Even as public universities got a 10 percent cut, $18 million was doled out for tuition assistance to rabbinical schools in this year’s budget. And no one has been pushing for that funding harder, or longer, than Assembly Member Dov Hiking, the dean of Boro Park politics. Year after year, Hikind’s efforts had been thwarted, but somehow, he secured the funding during one of the worst budget crunches in memory.

The cynic in me says that it's possible Skelos could be doing outreach to Brooklyn Jewish community leaders in advance of a potential opening in Carl Kruger's State Senate district.

At the very least, Borough Park or Midwood could feasibly end up in a competitive State Senate district after redistricting?
