Awo. So much going on in this video. check baby's choreographical(?) pauses. See whole body free up. ...whole body use. There are levels to this **** (expression the 'bones knows'). Her moves influence their moves. information is made and shared. She catches this. The adults are teaching her how to 'teacher them' with her beauty with her creative (creator in her). AWO. This space is kin to spaces ProjectHipHop creates for Boston's young adult artists in their move for social justice. Please SUPPORT Them. & all spaces akin. There are (these) things we have not accessed in ourselves, necessary to fight the enemy on all fronts Go on Zaya. Rumble.
Purge
Who can purge my heart
Of the song
And the sadness?
Who can purge my heart
But the song
Of the sadness?
What can purge my heart
Of the sadness
Of the song?
Do not speak of sorrow
With dust in her hair,
Or bits of dust in eyes
A chance wind blows there.
The sorrow that I speak of is dusted with despair.
Voice of muted trumpet.
Cold brass in warm air.
Bitter television blurred
By song that shimmers-
Where?
Langston Hughes, Song
for Billy Holiday
Upon what riff the music slips
. . . The Negro
With the trumpet at his lips
Whose jacket
Has a fine
one-button roll,
Does not know
Upon what riff the music slips
Its hypodermic needle
To his soul--
~Langston Hughes, Fields

Surrealism and Black African
Art
The
surrealist aspects of the African way of life, as well as the African
implications of surrealism, have tended to be ignored for reasons already
touched on. Instead of the alienating
dualistic intellectualization that usually defines the headlines of European
social practice, black Africans enjoyed the presence of the practice of poetry
throughout the totality of their traditional social life. In Africa, that is,
the living experience of surreality has since
prehistoric times enjoyed supremacy over its theoretical justification. In the
Western world, however, surrealism is the result of a long philosophical,
political, scientific and poetic struggle to recover what the traditional
African has never lost. A gainst all
forms of indifference and misery, surrealism and black African art remain irreducible examples in the
development of the complete unfettering of the mind. Surrealism and black
African art show that History’s last step—the step beyond History—coincides with a return to first principles, which is also a return to
primordial glory, involving nothing less than the systematic and definitive liberation of the whole of
human society and of Nature itself.
