  1. So I was in Long Island for the earlier part of this week. Spent several hours in Hempstead, my hometown and finding new things pop up. The train station has permanent installation art that is amazing.

    Yosimar Reyes; “for colored boys that speak softly”

    For colored boys
    I will crucify myself like Christ
    let my blood purify and sanctify these words
    create a doctrine and go knocking door to door 
    letting the people know that messiahs are here
    that we are messengers 
    even though we embody the word queer
    that we are a reminder of 
    how colonization has destroyed nuestra cultura
    they burned our villages, nuestros pueblos
    implemented homophobia, sexism, and machismo 
    in las cabezas de nuestros abuelos
    brainwashed our ancestors into believing 
    that boys like us are a manifestation of the devil

    For colored boys who speak softly
    I’ll remind the world that centuries ago 
    we were shamans and healers
    gifted warriors
    two-spirited people highly respected by villagers
    but now we’ve become 
    nothing more than fags and queers
    making ourselves believe 
    that capitalism will solve our issue… .

    I’ll recognize 
    that there is more than one wound to heal
    more than one struggle that we feel
    but this ignorance blocks us from seeing 
    the greater picture, the greater evil
    and these same issues
    these same issues transcend the borders
    because brothers and sisters 
    in Oaxaca
    in Chiapas
    in the Philippines
    in Iraq
    are resisting this very same system… .

    For colored boys
    I will remind my people
    que somos diferente
    que somos gente
    con cultura, con orgullo, con poder
    we are people 
    and with the people we stand
    breaking borders and stereotypes
    like this system that exploited our hands… .

    From My Paper Bag Colored Heart
    Wilmer Wilson

    2012

    Performance with inflated paper bags. A meditation on skin, objecthood, and liminality, through the historical lens of the paper bag as an implement of colorism. Performed in relation to my sculptural installation titled Domestic Exchange.

    First image taken by myself. Subsequent images by Matt Dunn / courtesy Conner Contemporary Art.
