Here is the link to the video I wanted to show in my presentation.
- just scroll down and click on Machines
The ‘Man with a Bicycle’ sculpture from my presentation shows an “inauthentic” African man with his bicycle - an element of white modern progress. In the Cuban video, their use of typewriters to produce music is a further incorporation of a Western modernity symbol in an artistic act, as a form of resistance. It’s part of the Visible City project and produced by the art collective Omni Zona Franca in Havana. My Spanish isn’t that great, so if anyone can make out the lyrics, supposed to be quite political, please share.
Btw, great night yesterday. Are all comcult courses like this?
maybe we can convince Janine to monopolize the curriculum…
