President Jacob Zuma lays a wreath at the prison cell, in Kgosi Mapuru II Correctional Service Centre in which the Liberation struggle hero Mr Stephen Bantu Biko died as part of commemorating the 40th Anniversary of the passing of the Black Consciousness Movement leader. Mr Biko died in 12 September 1977 in a police cell at the then Pretoria Central Prison (now Kgosi Mampuru II Correctional Centre). He was beaten severely by apartheid security police while in detention in Port Elizabeth and sustained serious injuries including brain damage. [Photo: GCIS]

Completed Autumn 2013. A3 notebook. Drawing in a 'stream of consciousness' state.

In contemporary America, specters of unresolved struggles with racism, sexism, homophobia, and economic inequities have recently exploded into public consciousness – at times in quietly insidious or subtle ways, and in growing overtly violent ways. These specters continue to haunt and affect us as individuals, families and communities across cultures. Art is the vehicle to ignite this vitally needed discourse.

 

Hungry Ghost provides us with a culturally rich environment in which to unearth and share familial stories. This exhibition is meant to spark personal storytelling and conversation to address and release past trauma as a community, while creating compassion and a sense of “oneness” instead of “otherness.”

 

The exhibiting artists present “Artists Talking Story,” a panel discussion about their artmaking process, both their inspirations and obstacles to overcome working to visually represent their Hungry Ghosts.

 

The PLACE collective is a core group of artists alumni of A PLACE OF HER OWN, an ongoing program of healing and transformative workshops culminating in art exhibitions. They help women to artistically answer to the question, “If you had a place of your own, what would it be?” The PLACE Collective considers the first and most difficult part of this journey, the HUNGRY GHOST. Participants courageously unearth and question family patterns and personal beliefs. This process includes art making, meditation and group discussion exploring ancestral trauma, unfulfilled longing acceptance and fulfillment.

Hungry Ghost, yearning for fulfillment is part of the ongoing Project Space Series Far From Home, an annual exhibition of work by artists living in North America who are of foreign birth or are the adult children or grandchildren of immigrants.

  

Info about the artists

These courageous women artists of color, whose families have been affected by forced migration, strangling colonization, war and corrupt governments, were selected because of the work they do in the community. For them, social justice art is a calling, not a choice.

Photographing this show was AMAZING. Seriously. GROUPLOVE's lighting was out of this world - some of, if not THE, best lighting I've ever worked with. Saints of Valory and The Knocks also put on really fun sets, which was totally unexpected for me and made me really happy to get to photograph. The best part was that although I hadn't been cleared for a portrait shoot or interview, GROUPLOVE let me take a quick portrait of them after their show, and their guitarist gave me quite a long interview, too. I'd HIGHLY recommend checking them out, especially live. They are an absolute BLAST to watch and listen to, and put so much energy into their performance that I sometimes felt out of breath just from watching!

view large. man fears what he does not know. addiction to something leads to understanding it. and if you understand it, you will not fear it.

 

this does not have to apply to altered states of consciousness (altered states should remain just that - ALTERED states, not normal states)* or psychoactives, but to everything in life. we are attached to certain things, 'addicted' if you will. its only when we reach the point of satiety that we know where we should have drawn the line.

 

by then we may be free of it, or it may have consumed us.

 

to some people, exploration (and perhaps addiction) is inevitable. some choose it.

 

this picture is in honour of the hallucinogenic psilocybin mushroom, ofcourse it isn't what the real mushroom looks like... but i think it's kinda trippy anyway. (these popped up overnight in an old pot ouside my window)

 

*if you swap your normal state of consciousness for a permanent altered state of consciousness that would be defeating the purpose of an altered state. thats why i just dont get it when people are constantly tripping.

 

reality is necessary to fascilitate the plesures and benifits of an altered state.

One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego; the self is more distant than any star. ~G.K. Chesterton, "The Logic of Elfland," Orthodoxy, 1908

www.ipsnews.net/2013/02/qa-how-to-creating-a-south-africa... In his new book, “The Great African Society – A Plan for a Nation Gone Astray”, Hlumelo Biko, the son of late Black Consciousness leader Steve Biko, says that if nothing changes in South Africa, the country will become engulfed by corruption, crime, social decay, hopelessness and anger.

"Wisdom cannot be owned. It can only be shared, so it can grow."

Here is a picture of a small stream trickling down some rocks, it almost looks like a big waterfall but it's a close-up of a smaller stream. It's hard to get a sense of the scale, it could be small but it could be big as well.

Dopo tanto tempo che fissava il fiume, si è voltato e mi ha regalato questo sguardo. Non è seguito alcun rimpovero, solo si è girato nuovamente verso l'acqua. Un soldino per i suoi pensieri...
