Sonic Arts Union: David Behrman, Alvin Lucier, Gordon Mumma, Robert Ashley (in memoriam) concert series at the Issue project room was a positive experience. It was exiting to see Mumma perform live. The event served as proof of the grandeur of the New York electro-acoustic scene and movement. The sounds came from a niche and approaches to music were theoretical but the event still attracted active audiences, who engaged with the pieces. Robert Ashley\u2019s 1993 work Love Is A Good Example <\/em>was the most easiest piece to approach (I should start making spoken word pieces).\u00a0David Behrman\u2019s Long Throw <\/em>was a nice ending for the evening but it felt too\u00a0picturesque. The blues guitar riffs were too much for me.<\/p>\n

Joined the\u00a0On Whiteness: The Reading Group<\/a> on Saturday at\u00a0Helena Anrather.<\/a>\u00a0The event was hosted by Maria Hupfield and Jason Lujan of the Native Art Department International<\/a>. We read a mixture of texts, the longest was Andrea Smiths’ Heteropatriarchy and the Three Pillars of White Supremacy<\/a>\u00a0in which she defines three axises trough which white supremacy engages with non-whites:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Slavery\/Capitalism. After slavery ended, the Prison Industrial Complex started.<\/li>\n
  2. Genocide\/Colonialism. Indigenous people must disappear so that their land can be claimed with out opposition.<\/li>\n
  3. Orientalism\/War. US need to be in war with “exotic countries” so that they can proof that “exotic” are not US. US is defined by war, it needs conflict with to exist.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The text also defined\u00a0heteropatriarchy as a building block of\u00a0 White-America: When nuclear families are set as a norm, it becomes easier to implement hierarchical organisational models upon indigenous communities. She identifies “family” as a technology and argues that in Christian-Americas emphasis on family (and the families right for privacy) results into a lack of interest in public, shared infrastructure: Suburban mindset is a disinvestment. The discussions centred on the topics of forced whiteness and passing. Learning about passing from the indigenous perspective was particularly interesting: Indians are often treated as white because white supremacy want to see\u00a0indigenous people disappear, to claim their lands.<\/p>\n

    During the reading group the problematic case Andrea Smith claiming to be a Cherokee were not discussed. More on these issues: Open Letter From Indigenous Women Scholars Regarding Discussions of Andrea Smith<\/a> (2015). Discovered the Native Land map<\/a>, a mapping system made to further acknowledgement of indigenous presence in America. Trough this source I learned about the\u00a0Lenape<\/a>\u00a0 and the Canarsie<\/a> who’s land I now live on. The Lenape article is an interesting read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
