Soy Idiota. Somos todos idiotas. ¿Por qué eres idiota?

 

I’m an idiot because I ignore the crushing perspective of the world around me by committing myself to my own romanticised form of a dance that was invented 50 years ago in the South Bronx by children who could only imagine the amount of privilege that I was born into. I lean on my appropriation of this dance in my art yet I deny the brands that have attached themselves to it as they run the world. Am I a hypocrite? I make my own fake brands, free brands. If I were smart, I would give in to my privilege even more than I already do, and use it to win, to claim ownership. I would surround myself with as much material comfort as possible. I would deny and cowardly ignore the injustice, the death, the burning of the world, the continuation of the madness. But I am an idiot, so I continue as I am.
