We had the pleasure of sitting down with @housingny back in June when the project began. Check out the upcoming exhibition opening next weekend. Repost from @housingny • Desire “N” Flux How does the libidinal economy of Black people and their bodies shape the ways in which they are beloved and repelled, adored and abused? How often is it that these are two sides of the same coin? Whose fantasies become reality and who bears the impact of other’s imaginations? When bodies are invisible the marks of love and violence are surrounding and entangled with the mundane and the ritual. Each artist engages with desire as a constant condition in which one must navigate. Alvin Baltrop is an underground Donatello navigating a pre-AIDS crisis world of homo eroticism. Brontez encounters this world in the present, in the digital, in rhetorics unveiled as they’re encountered. Allana’s sculptures feel like corpses of Black femme assimilation in capitalism, and Calli’s work functions as similar but as referential artifacts. The show will be open from December 17th to January 24th of 2021. - # #thejuneteenthproject #blackartmatters #blackartistaffirmed #reclaimblackexistence #reframeblacknarratives #affirmblacklife #blacklivesmatter #humanizeblacklives https://www.instagram.com/p/CIwfpDzl2vC/?igshid=79xwkg2vvg1g

#RestInPower Queen. Repost from @amenra718 • Posted @withregram • @theafrolatindiaspora It’s been brought to my attention that we lost a Hawaiian Queen yesterday. 🖤🕊 Haunani Kay Trask October 3, 1949 - July 3, 2021 A lifelong scholar and activist, Haunani Kay Trask was an early and fearless leader of the Hawaiian sovereignty movement, fighting for self-determination of the Hawaii people. A founding member Ka Lahui Hawai'i, the state’s largest sovereignty organization, Trask spoke and wrote boldly about Native Hawaiian rights, institutional racism, gender discrimination and the United Nations Declaration on the rights of the Indigenous Peoples. She often drew ire for her criticism of the United States; responding to disapproval that her harsh approach was “un-Hawaiian,” Trask one famously responded: “I am not soft. I am not sweet.” It is upsetting of how relevant these clips are today!! The fight for black & brown lives and our rights. The University of Hawaii-Mānoa, where Trask was a tenured professor for more than 30 years, credits her with co-founding the contemporary field of Hawaiian studies, as she was the founding director of the Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies on the Mānoa campus. Additionally, she wrote two books of poetry (“Light in the Crevice Never Seen” and “Night is a Sharkskin Drum”) and a collection of politically provocative essays, “From a Native Daughter: Colonialism and Sovereignty in Hawaii.” She also co-wrote and co-produced the award-winning documentary “Act of War: The Overthrow of the Hawaiian Nation,” which premiered in 1994. She is widely considered one of the most influential women in Hawaiian history. - - - @usatoday recognized 10 Mana Wahine in their 2020 Hawaiʻi Women of the Century” article. #haunanikaytrask Photo: Brett Uprichard #Repost @oiwitv - # #thejuneteenthproject #blackartmatters #blackartistaffirmed #reclaimblackexistence #reframeblacknarratives #affirmblacklife #blacklivesmatter #humanizeblacklives https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ_uJ2Yjm7E/?utm_medium=tumblr

@everyniggadeserves both... Let @dmx be the proof that you can be both. You deserve to be a whole person, my people. #BlackPeopleAreRealPeople #balancedlifestyle Repost from @embracingblackculture • We don’t know DMX personally, but we know that he spent most of his life battling his demons. However, amidst that battle, we saw his desire to leave behind a legacy of compassion, authenticity, and joy. So, we hope to honor his plight with this thread. DMX, you fought so hard to display the joy in your heart, the kindness in your smile, the humor in your bones, the dance in your feet, the realness of your mouth, the brilliance of your mind, and the beauty of your spirit. Please rest knowing that we saw it all. We saw you the way you wanted us to see you. That’s how we’ll always see you, that’s how we’ll always know you, and we will never forget you. #RestInPower ☁️✊🏿🕊🙏🏿🤍 - # #thejuneteenthproject #blackartmatters #blackartistaffirmed #reclaimblackexistence #reframeblacknarratives #affirmblacklife #blacklivesmatter #humanizeblacklives https://www.instagram.com/p/CNgLolOD5-2/?igshid=1emfhjzoesvmk
