Edgar Arceneaux. A Time To Break Silence (2013).

Dazed: How does How does A Time to Break Silence link Martin Luther King’s assassination and 2001: A Space Odyssey?

Edgar: Stanley Kubrik, Arthur C. Clark and Dr. King were formulating their ideas about the duality of technology, which can be used as both a weapon and tool during the same time period. As the psychic trauma of Dr. King's death had the nation in a raw state of anger and uncertainty, a film chronicling the genealogy of humanity's troubled future with technology is released in theaters. The juxtaposition of the past with visions of the future offer us a chance to fantasize critically of our own present moment.

Simone White has been consistently impossible for me. Too opaque, too much in poetry in her poems for me to understand. But her writing here on Harriet is moving, startling, razor sharp. She is writing about the competencies many of us a bereaved of, as poets and artists and people of color at large. Also, the way that we non-white people [participating in the world of contemporary arts practice] are so full of bullshit, and perhaps we must be, and perhaps who can ever tell?

"It is total bullshit to enjoy being in a social or creative community that is segregated the way poetry is segregated." And yet so many of us find our creative selves within segregated community. Fuck!
