My Interview With @madeishoreditch journalist - Fiona Dodwell photo - @looksdirty | Jeff Bender “F: Your music is extremely versatile, fusing rock, punk, soul and of course, funk, yet in those early days, you were often described as being a part of the “neo-soul” movement. Did this bother you? V: Oh, God – it STILL bothers me! It HAUNTS me. Because, it also effects my bottom line. Earlier you spoke of ageism being in the way, but it is racism and genre that has been noticeable to me. I’ve had white men tell me that they took one look at my picture on the front of an album or magazine and tossed it in the “______(fill in the blank with any stereotypical reference to African-American recording artists) bin”. My issue hasn’t been so much with being included with other black artists, but the bottom line is we don’t all sound the same. I would never put Nirvana in the same sonic bin with Pearl Jam, or The Beatles with The Rolling Stones, or even Neil Young with Crosby, Stills, Nash AND YOUNG! You should look me up on Spotify and tell me if you think I sound like ANY of the 7 or 8 artists the algorithm tells you other “people also like.” And, it’s not that people can’t like a “neo-soul” artist and Van Hunt, but they also like James Taylor, Little Dragon and neo-soul artists, or David Bowie, the XX, and Van Hunt. These banal, race-based categories that hide behind AI are completely limiting and ridiculous, insulting to the artists and the listeners, and just plain lame.” 4 the rest, go to @madeishoreditch 4 my music, hit the link n my profile @vanhunt https://www.instagram.com/p/B-K9L6Ih8Hh/?igshid=1dzv5hybf2s8

Hilma af Klint: Paintings for the Future “When Hilma af Klint began creating radically abstract paintings in 1906, they were like little that had been seen before: bold, colorful, and untethered from any recognizable references to the physical world. It was years before Vasily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, Piet Mondrian, and others would take similar strides to rid their own artwork of representational content. Yet while many of her better-known contemporaries published manifestos and exhibited widely, af Klint kept her groundbreaking paintings largely private. She rarely exhibited them and, convinced the world was not yet ready to understand her work, stipulated that it not be shown for twenty years following her death. She belonged to a group called "The Five", a circle of women who shared her belief in the importance of trying to make contact with the so-called "High Masters"—often by way of séances." - various quotes https://www.instagram.com/p/B-HjoRNBQxX/?igshid=7usyvkbvlxft
