RA#11 - Michelle Dizon lecture

There was many insightful points Michelle brought to here lecture.  Three that interested me about her and her works, were decolonization, rhetoric, and voice.  I respected the way she used her own heritage to create a voice for other people, similar to where her family originated.  There are many worldly concerns that are left unaddressed, especially from one scene of invasion to the other.  How do they relate, there should have been no cause for this type violence.  The giving up of heritage identity to assume the role of a new identity.  How much is lost?  Will it return?  Will we forget?  Memories were an important topic of her lecture.  How these memories would reflect what is forgotten when assuming a new identity.  How we are tied to memories through our family and the generations that proceed.  Remembering is important, as this is part of a point I attempt to make when making statements in my work about Remembering Can Prevent.  Work I am more excited about creating after Michelle Dizon's lecture last night.  If we remember all the bad and horrible actions and reactions we have made as a species, all the wars, cruel beatings, the unjustified killings,  the destruction, the conquering, the segregation, all that are part of all of our history, then we can commit to preventing it to repeat itself.  Which the sad truth is that we are still struggling with these problems today.  There also needs to be acceptance for agreement and respectable disagreement as we will not always agree, and such is why have experienced these issues, because we can be too strong headed in our ideas and beliefs that we feel the need to push them on everyone else until they accept them or be outcasted, possibly destroyed. I can easily continue to rant, though how much will it be effective.  Society can easily turn their heads away from the rants of better ways that one can hear being preached on a city corner daily.  How do we make our points civilly acceptable and accessible for all of the public.  How do we broadcast these sensitive issues that will be appealing enough for the those who wish not to bother with the issues at all?  Research, visual truth and being rhetorical in our art making - as shocking as it may take to make the voice that everyone will respond to. It is an ongoing project that may take lifetimes to complete as it has already taken many to cause the destruction that we are now to fix.
