You know, in a country where vast sectors of the population will aggressively defend the yearly use of Black face as a national heritage and a cause of pride, I find it difficult to resist stuff like this<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Slum Carnival”, “Freezing Favelas”, “White trash liquor factory”, photos of makeshift plastic tents… this little “art"project has all the markers of awful cultural appropriation and the perpetuation of racial and class stereotypes. \u00a0The organization behind this, Mediamatic, according to their mission statement<\/a>, gets three quarter of their funding from subsidies. However, when on Twitter<\/a>, I called their project "awful”, they reacted with the usual defensive agression that I have grown to accept is par of the course in this country when any criticism is leveled against\u00a0institutionalized\u00a0racism and\/ or classism. There is no self reflection, no research as to why people might find stuff like this offensive, instead, throw deflective one liners at whoever pointed out the inappropriateness. Mediamatic, in that sense, is a true Dutch institution, oblivious to their impact in an overal cultural context and certainly uninterested in situating themselves or their projects in a non colonial mindset. After all, why abandon colonial appropriation when you can have hipster makeshift tents in the name of “art”?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
