You 2

How do you appeal to a generation undermined by re-presentation and history (written by the blind)? By negative re-presentations and connotations of every aspect of their lives through systemised social tools such as the media, text, as well as the word of mouth? How do you appeal to a denigrated generation who perceives negativities in connection with themselves in processes of introspection and self-representation? What do you utilise in this appeal? The very elements with which we have been associated with historically or with something radically other that are very much detached from our reality? Can the concept of ‘thief’ in association with a generation be reversed the same way it was prepared and processed? Can we perceive ourselves positively yet still in connection with these images?
These images in history are ‘our’ axioms in response to self-representation and its alleged impossibilities. It is the implicit and inborn elements of our historical own which we make public in ourselves. It is the ‘heritage’ which we continuously tap for our appeal to the outside world. It is that process of utilising a certain commodity assigned to us and made through history yet from which we relentlessly attempt to distant ourselves from. You’re coconut 2, you’re nigger 2….
