Every Wednesday I walk a river walk trail from my work to rowing, and there’s this sculpture on the trail:
Pokemon Go affectionately refers to it as “The Hollow Man”, and it’s kind of cool on it’s own. Except, when I normally walk the trail, it’s after work, at night:
This thing is SEVEN FEET TALL and the actual title of the sculpture is “The Unkillable Human.”
IT’S TERRIFYING.
it became so beautiful to me after learning the actual name of it.
“This would be deleted off the SCP wiki in a day for being too cliche” is my favorite kind of real thing.
being black in any art community is such a strange feeling cause you’ll see just blatant racism being expressed in others art and you have to just casually ignore it, for your sake if anything, colorism being something that’s just fundamentally there in every artist and you deal with it cause it’s not worth it in the end to even think of it too hard let alone even mentioning it, it’s definitely something
Hello nonblack reader of this post, I think you ought to share this one so that you and your peers can actively remind yourselves 1) of how your Black peers feel when you tolerate antiblack racism in your art spaces for entertainment and 2) that we notice it, but don’t believe it is secure around enough of you to bring it up 🙏🏾
