snail coitus makes me smile
- brown flower*
- Im a peace-monging, anti-capitalist , queer-positive, anti-racist, visionary feminist, vegetarian and poet warrior, who lives in a new monastic intentional commmunity, likes glitter, drinks mint ginger tea, and quietly adores dandelions, eggplants and snails. i spend most of my days reading about revolution. and eating uncouth vegetables in public spaces. i try to follow the teachings of a homeless rabbi, and somtimes when the moon is right, i dance barefoot in dirt.
dear sweet mollusc friend, i wonder what you dream of...
Those that make my heart sigh
snail coitus makes me smile
I don't get it.
ReplyDeletethe artist is re-maping/ reimagining a history, that decolonizes the western production of a white-washed "holy" Mary.
ReplyDeletehe's inserting the African experience and vision into an iconic image that traditionally excludes people of colour. it destabalizes our understanding of "holy" and "mary" and this connection with whiteness.
oh, right.
ReplyDeleteim going to paint this on your ceiling when your asleep.
ReplyDeletelove shannon.
