damn, a lot of people coming out to defend institutions that profit off of the imperialistic tactic of profiting off of artifacts from other cultures this morning https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧐" title="Gesicht mit Monokel" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Monokel"> “but how will we preserve the HISTORY?” sounds like there needs to be a little more deconstruction (lol) there

i literally wrote this the moment i woke up, so please forgive my run on. stranding up for a museum is a mood... not a good one. the symbol of a "cultural" safe haven is very comical. usually seen as a place for the "cultural elite" (think about that one)

to wax poetic about how far "society" has advanced or specific art installations that reflect such(pls don& #39;t twist that artists, pls show up and do things right) - this while often not having direct relation or representation from that society

*standing (i& #39;m still sleepy, i am drinking coffee, everything is okay)

a lot of this reminds me of the adaptation of the "tourist of history" method - where your chosen medium for interacting with history is feel good capitalism vacation. profiting off of the spoils of imperialism...
