“go to the club and dance to your favorite song/
surprise everybody and swing on them crutches/
if they got a problem swing on them bustas”
last month bfp linked to this lecture by Chimamanda Adichie. if you have time, please watch… so much to process here. questions in my head: how do the stories we tell create the Other? how is challenging single stories related to media justice? storytelling and other cultural activism often get painted as abstract and sidework, but how connected is the work of breaking the single story to fighting for freedom? h/t to raven’s eye for getting me thinking.
