“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Abjuration

 


Hurricane Beryl gave them the cover they needed. In its aftermath, the police cars had left. Police had positioned cars during fundamentalist protests a few weeks ago. Protests of a magnificent statue by Shahzia Sikander at the University of Houston. 

They beheaded the statue and made lynching-postcard-style videos about it. 

This is what I did in response.
