The Observatory, TA Edition: Process Metadocumentation
PROCESS NOTES-EXHIBIT-THE OBSERVATORY - TA EDITION
Nathan finally saw me and it was everything I needed
I don't even care if the exhibit actually gets put on now I just needed his witnessing
I just needed him to listen to my voice note
and tell me that he wanted to hear my story.
It was really important to hold the boundary
about naming the Observatory
but sorry not sorry
we've had a lifetime of well-meaning cis-het white people smiling while they steal things from us
taking our histories and repackaging them and selling them back to us appropriating our stuff and dressing it up as their own
so then later it looks like we're copying from them
bitch please
we've been doing this shit since the stone age
isoceles please
you can shove those squares and oppositions right up your right angles we are the triangles
divine androgyne, mighty hermaphrodite, holy trinity
these are our sacred geometries
no you may NOT use my project name
no my project will NOT be colonized
no my work and art will NOT be homogenized
no I will NOT ask for your permission
no I do NOT need your funding or your sanction
