[Actu] #blacklivesmatter, le monde de l’art se mobilise

Le 25 mai dernier, George Floyd, un homme afro-américain de Minneapolis, mourait lors d’une interpellation. Depuis, les manifestations se sont multipliées dans les grandes villes des États-Unis et dans le monde pour dénoncer les violences policières et le racisme. Le net s’est fait caisse de résonance de ce mouvement social anti-discriminations à travers les hashtags #blacklivesmatter,  #Icantbreathe ou #blackouttuesday. Plusieurs artistes, curateurs ou institutions se sont mobilisés. Petit tour non exhaustif des publications de soutien qui ont émergé sur la toile.

. As a Black Man – Tribute to John Howard Griffin – 2013-2014 . www.mounirfatmi.com/works-389.html . “John Howard Griffin, an American writer and Civil Rights activist who was so frustrated by the injustice experienced by African Americans during the 1950s-1960s, that he took pills and had UV exposure to turn his skin black. . As a Black Man broaches the ever-pressing matter of how visual representation, and photography in particular, have long been used to delimit, circulate, and contest constructions of race, political representation, and belonging.” . #mounirfatmiofficiel #asablackman #icantbreath #blacklivesmatter #usa #johnhowardgriffin #photo #black #white #connection #art #contemporaryart #artproject #time #death #life #culture #history #memory #identity #world #archive #old #hope #endofhistory #endoflifeobjects #obsoletematerials #collapsology

Arrests and convictions of all individuals involved in lynch mobs and all acts of hate, an end to police brutality and murder of black people and massive massive change to a dangerously unjust justice system. As @zorasc says to me it ain’t even close to being a justice system… it’s system of destruction.

Too many to name…?Hatred and racial injustice must stop. It is way past time for us to speak up, speak out and take action. This world of racial injustice will not change until we all get involved in dismantling the structures that perpetuate it and dehumanise us all. #icantbreathe #georgefloyd #stopkillingus #justice #racialjustice #nojusticenopeace #blacklivesmatter #alllivesmatter #humanity . ? Ken Hamblin. 1971. Hamblin, a black journalist and photographer close to the Black Panthers documented African Americans’ struggles for civil rights.

« Miles Davis, un soir d’août 1959, s’est fait tabasser par un policier qui ne voulait pas voir de Noirs trainer devant la salle de concert où il était programmé en tête d’affiche ce soir là et le policier ne l’a pas cru. » ⁣ Écoutons les cris déchirants qu’il arrachait à sa trompette.⁣ ⁣ A la mémoire de George Floyd⁣ ⁣ "Miles Davis, an evening of August 1959, got beaten up by a police man that didn't⁣ want black people hanging out in front of the concert hall where he was the headliner that same night, which the police man didn't believe."⁣ Let's hear the harrowing screams he would pull from his trumpet.⁣ ⁣ To the memory of George Floyd⁣ ⁣ #justiceforgeorgefloyd #icantbreathe #blacklivesmatter #milesdavis
