Artist Talk | Titus Kaphar

[@rosarebada4777]

Titus Kaphar, Like you (at least as in 2017) I don't have twitter,Facebook,etc. I haven't even seen your Ted talk yet; this is my first encounter on June 7, 2020. This previous week of covid-19 pandemic intersected with George Floyd memorials and protests on KZbin, while as a sheltered-in-place senior citizen, I have viewed many historic statues damaged and removed. I was touched by your hope. You have my prayers for strength and peace with blessings.

[@greyclaa]

Thank you so much for sharing your work and core with us. We desperately need it now as much as ever.

[@sharongillesp]

Too bad the slides are too small and the details difficult to see. Great artist.

[@kustakuties9847]

He is brilliant. I love him for saying black people. I know most African Americans prefer People of colour.

[@jamilnasim3065]

Nah a lot of us prefer just "Black" don't call me American lol

[@sharongillesp]

I prefer POC because if we don’t unite we will not be able to overcome the subjugation of being considered minorities even though we are all American citizens. You can Practice “culturalization” in your own community organization but on a political level I support POC. It’s like being in a union that supports all members as a single powerful group.

I wish I hear could hear the questions being asked.

[@kustakuties9847]

Truly, it’s like they are whispering.

He’s too hung up on IDENTITY POLITICS

[@deedee2698]

@Joe Rodriguez And he's trying to reach those who think its not important.

[@kustakuties9847]

Good for him! Imagine if you were black and realize that black people were shadows in paintings or faceless. No you cannot so drink so ☕️ and let us work. 🦾

@@kustakuties9847 ???

[@kikeheebchinkjigaboo6631]

Why doesn’t he discuss the Arab-Islam African slave trade? Why is it always America and not Europe? Not the Middle East etc

[@kustakuties9847]

You do know he is American right?

[@jamilnasim3065]

Because that's cap lol the Arab slave trade was much like the African slave trade, which was closer to indentured servitude.

[@sharongillesp]

Because ONLY in America did Americans practice the brutality and immorality of “chattel slavery” as standard practice.
