Art ≠ Terrorism
some footage shot today by Jim Finn:
RPI - where I currently teach as adjunct arts faculty - has oficially banned the Iraqi artist, Wafaa Bilal's exhibition after its opening on Wed. (Mar. 5, 2008) night. It seems like a pretty stupid move, but in a sense is not surprising given the funding and support that RPI receives from the military, and its pivotal role in the military-industrial complex. It has sparked a bit of an outrage. If you want to write to the president to voice your opinion, go ahead.... president@rpi.edu
There is a crazy bill out there in the world of politics that has been introduced. This is some big-brother shit called the Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. i highly recommend checking it out. As another blogger puts it: "
It begins, “AN ACT - To prevent homegrown terrorism, and for other purposes.”
