About an artist personal journey in creating art and design projects that will present to the world profond statements by artists and this artist in how art and design can contribute to a better way life.
Art and design as a language of culture has very complicated meanings for post colonial states. It is my intention that art becomes much more deviant and expressive within the lifes of people.DArlenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16980602588482052884noreply@blogger.comBlogger101125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099924808234660015.post-49236408397827032672018-07-03T05:54:00.001-07:002018-07-03T05:54:47.705-07:00LETS TALK CATALYST&THE TACARIGUA SCULPTURAL PLAYSPACE PROJECT & OTHER<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

The other day at UWI, there was a <a href="https://thenassauguardian.com/2018/06/23/catalyst-harmonizing-actions-and-trust-building-in-the-caribbean-creative-ecology/">Three Day Session</a> on art and culture by stake holders from around the Caribbean, There was a write up on the session by <a href="https://thenassauguardian.com/2018/06/23/catalyst-harmonizing-actions-and-trust-building-in-the-caribbean-creative-ecology/">Holly Bynoe</a>. From the article there were some issues, which was highlighted<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> </span>developing a Creative Tourism model</li>
<li>consider the colonial structure of funding but don’t pressure or agitate bodies to think about how this keeps us within an exploitative structure, binding us to repeating systems and the monstrous challenge of being engaged in conversations and or projects that do not occur naturally and organically.</li>
<li>With healthy ecologies being the buzzword,</li>
<li> highlighting the human element</li>
<li>It </li>
<li>These include the development of a grant writing support system to build a cadre of writers in the Caribbean with a focus on procuring grants for cultural programmes, initiatives and projects, and making this system less opaque to the people who would benefit from these resources;</li>

<span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">"</span><i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>read the article...it is always nice to see these efforts. I understand all that was mentioned....you mentioned there will be a deeper report coming out.....Allow me to share some thoughts, in going further art must understand what is necessary for its fulfillment in Trinidad and Tobago (I can speak very confidently about T&T art culture, from the art society to the private spaces, for this conversation I'll limit myself to Trinidad and Tobago), as in the Caribbean, just our size and limited resources, art must be willing to change it methodology. Many artists, like Hall, Laird, Ramesar, Rubadiri and dear I say Arlen...have challenged the paradigm of cultural making, through the economy of scale and activism....where at a policy level, we theoretically have on the fringes the making of an arts council....which can radically alter how art moves through the national circle....art connection to class! is as important to it being deconstructed, as is racism, to American cultural economy. I noticed there were noticeable absence of speakers, (understanding not everyone can be invited to the table), Studio-66, ACTT......I have been working with my collaborators, in placing art in that context of development, sustainability, value added, social justice, vernacular. In October, we hope to have the first talk, with PENNU, on developing a systematic, immersed, investigation in art's potential to creating that space. What will it take, from who? where? and how much? how long? the idea is to invest in a space/spaces, over a period of time...Also, the Tacarigua Sculptural PlaySpace Project, all place art in the development conversation, the diversification discourse, the planning conversation....rather than the hobbyist backdrop, art has been relegated to for all these years. Art adopting other principles of urban planning, (as one urban planner mentioned, that they have never considered art a part of their language, they're willing to), we need to define that formula that art has. Which can only happen through, practicing communities, through a social art methodology. That is without all the issues, that Molly mentioned in her article. I found this to be absent. As it is important, to what should be funded, do we fund art organizations that're already operating, in the module of art, for art sake, or art for artists sake, caught in what class and other depredations of post colonialism, or do we fund, what is necessarily needed; proper well focused activism, that seeks to challenge policy, economy...one example of this, how do we shift the economy of art, to one of subjective economy to one, where the art object can be seen as an asset, to insurance companies and bankers. There're interesting articles on how this was done....it takes another type of investment in activism...As a practicing artist, the shift will not come by more and more funding, until there is a willingness to understand the ecosystem of survival and the reality of survival, for the working poor artist. I have been able to get a Chair at the Tunapuna/Piarco Regional Corporation, in a public statement, declare, that they have embraced an artist (not a designer) to help them solve their development issues. A small step, but a step it is....if we can coalesce voices towards this happening through community, corporate, part politics and state, think how it'll challenge the artist economy! Then think how the education of artist will have to be changed, both a secondary and at tertiary, UWI, level...Thanks, for sharing, will keep you posted as projects happen, check the link...</b></span></i><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">."</span></span><br />

All seven projects, have challenged economy and scale. They're rethinking how the aesthetic product can be made, through <b>the social, the political, the economic, party politics, community</b> . This bring up all sort of altering in the cultural fabric....it will first challenge </div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Education - from Tex-Vox, to the Department of Creative and Festival Art, DCFA, UWI, the artist will have to be given the tools to walk and talk with urban planners. The new artist will have to be versed in anthropology and sociology, to navigate the social art, the social economy, that is being developed at this time</li>
<li>The New Value Economy - there is need to rethink, how work is moved through the space, in doing this we have to rethink value systems. At this moment we make work in a very subjective value. There has been no building of that understanding of art, from a community level, banking, insurance level. To develop this, we will have to create a sustained activism based in dialog with the nation, both state and private.</li>
<li>Community - we have to show people what art is, in driving my projects, I have been told</li>
<ol>
<li>"that I have a hobby"</li>
<li>"I don't have a real job"</li>
<li>"Art does not belong in community" </li>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;">When we understand these issues, we can then understand what needs to be funded, do we still need to fund what is already happening, and what is happening is happening as mentioned, </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>

In these silos, we harbor an infestation of incestuous behavior and turn our backs on self-critique."<br />
<br />
Art has become this, so we have to rethink, where funding should be applied, which should transform the space into sustained communities, with value added....these projects, must be steeped in the social, sharing economy<br />

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif;">installing/erecting barriers is a
symbol of structural political performance, it symbolizes a power dynamic, set
in feudal relationships to land ownership, rights, access, privilege. The act
of placing a fence, playing a fence, designing a fence; falls into one or more
aspects of political performativity, establishing making political boundaries;
keeping in, shutting out. As much as we may want to apply principles of social
justice to the act. A fence is a fence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

establishing boundaries, drawing the line and sticking to that line, both at
the state level and most importantly at the community level.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

developed to enhance the wonderful properties of the green space. Our
spaces are developed for adult physical activities (mainly masculine
activities) and have excluded 'other' users due to the oversight of
our planners. These 'other' users include the elderly and children who
simply want to play or sit and enjoy the green ambiance. Play is
undervalued in Trinidad and Tobago, the child or teenager who wants to
relax quietly under a tree and read, getting away from parents in a
meditative environment has no space to do so. I was once fortunate to see
the original plan by Architect, Colin Laird 1950-1960's design of the
early Orange Grove Savannah. It included a ring of trees, spaces for
people to play and chill as well as for football and cricket. The
conversation around heritage, is therefore also a conversation about
landscape design and management.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

to any philosophy in relation to the use of community space. There

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: Garamond, serif;">Then there is art-design and citizens and burgesses interested
in the aesthetics, heritage and inclusiveness of the space, wanting an
opportunity to present to citizens, the potential to respond to both sets of
interests through evidence-based possibilities in ways in which the
community would be proud. The link below probably summarizes better than I do

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I remember food, I remember Mr. Lal, (who owned a small wooden shack/shop on the south, western edge of the northern football field, bounded by the Orange Grove Road and what is now the Priority Bus Route). We will stop there on our way to and from church, this was the routine, every Saturday, Mr. Lal, as I knew him, was the first vendor and as I came to learn, an illegal vendor, which the <a href="http://www.tunapunapiarcoregional.org/contact.html">The Tunapuna/Piarco Regional Corporation</a> had to settle with him to remove him.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As time went on, I grew; there became popular for foodies, and vendors alike, time will slow down, as we steeped out of maxis, to walk south into Trincity, <a href="http://darlenprojects.blogspot.com/2012/07/inthe-moment-physiological-and.html">mind you the original Trincity was designed by architect, Colin Laird</a>. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Time stood still as we will hang out with the coconut vendor, with a little rum being brought by all to consume with the cool nut, other bredrens will fall in. The Coconut Man, was there long time, then came others, not sure who was first or last, they just came, then there were options to go with the lime, </span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Fruit</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Doubles</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Cooked Food</span> </li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There was a varying degree of permanence, people seem to come, to go, I'm familiar with The Coconut Man! they have been there in my teens, man dem dey </span><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">still!</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>AN ERA HAS GONE, ANOTHER HAS ARRIVED!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, that era has changed, through a social art-design methodology, we're in the process of evolving the space, the community in understanding how vending will happen in the Trincity, Tacarigua, Orange Grove Community. Through an act of collaboration, with the state, and long term collaboration, as an artists, I have learned many languages, </span><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">the language of the architect</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">the language of the state</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">the language of community</span></li>
</ol>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">The language of the architect,</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have worked with Architect, Sean Leonard, in shaping this idea for multiple presentations, politicians, corporate and community, each having interesting challenges. But none more challenging than the artist! This collaboration has been a long one since the early 2000!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>WORKING IDEAS, WOKING IDEAS, STAYING IN IDEAS</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have worked in collaboration throughout my career as a creative thinker, working with welders, designers, craft people, all varying degrees of negotiation...the challenge of the artist, working with multiple players in the game, is keeping the integrity of the project alive, keeping the essence of the project intact, it's integrity....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As an artist, working this route, also accept that ideas, </span><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">evolve, </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">morph, </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">distill, </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">contract, </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">expand </span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">While understanding, as these things must happen, one thing that must be defended at all cost <span style="background-color: yellow;">is the fundamental philosophical intention of the art-design project.</span>....that one ingredient, which makes innovation happen in space. This is something, I have never really had to battle with Sean, there is that unique respect for the intention of the project, what we want to achieve, the willingness to see it achieved. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">There is debate on; how space can be </span></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">operationalized, </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">materiality; i.e. how do we use certain materials, plastics versus wood</span></li>
</ol>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The collaboration has opened up my understanding of the translation of ideas, while understanding the practicality of the construction industry and the craft person. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">In our group conversations, we have run afoul with that, misunderstanding, one opinion, stood their ground concerning pricing of items, for the playSpace, even when we're given assurances that this was normal practice in the industry. Understanding the many angles, to bringing something into spacial being from an architect's eye, has been my learning curve.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">For Sean, I guess, he's learning as well, on collaborating with an artist's angst, let not forget my colleagues in the NGO, Dada&projects, who for real! learning the artist angst, this has been thrown on the table, most recently.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>HOW TO DEAL WITH CREATIVES</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>RESPONSIBILITIES IN CARING FOR CREATIVE IDEAS</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>COPYRIGHTS, WHO OWN WHAT AND WHEN</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>HOW TO CARE</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>CONTRACTS</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>ROLES IN MOVING IDEAS</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">These sound simple, but it is one of the main! reason, we have not been able to tap into the cultural diversification of the country. As the state and further, our peoples, have no idea, in how to embrace, the creative.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is what we will challenge as we move forward with the Tacarigua Sculptural PlaySpace Project. I hope I'll be able to work it out, come to some understanding, here through these journals.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">But as we go along, I hope we can get a geographer to map the project, as it negotiate space and state.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/artdesignplayspace/">The Tacarigua Sculptural PlaySpace Project</a>, has taken on a new phase in its development. I have learnt from moving things through this space, things drop in front of your pathway, they come from the side, top, ripping through the floor....it comes, it comes, it comes. The smile in it all is how I (we) have been able to deal with these conjuring. The Eddie Hart Savannah, aka Orange Grove Savannah, is a part of my experience, I have grown up watching sport happen there, I belong to that group of people who came to space to chill, I have always found that the Savannah was not about chilling, more about active play, organized male playing, i.e. football, cricket. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Boom the Tacarigua Sculptural PlaySpace Project, evolved, through my experience as an artist growing in my education, finally coming to paper and pen, at Ontario College of Art and Design, through the installation program, I shaped the idea, of sculpture, being multi-functional, allowing people to play, engage in their energies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">On returning home, this was hard to sell, so I added "play" to "sculpture", "Playing Sculpture"....now, how that was read? was it recognized, cause people are focused on the play, and for some reason, do not understand this as a art (or even the transformational properties), even my colleagues, can't see the art in a project which seems more like a design project...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">so, hey!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b>ART-DESIGN! OR ARTDESIGN</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Which allows us to have a democratic conversation about aesthetics, where a hegemony has been created by designers and architects, in squeezing the visual arts out of the commons. When we have always been there. We never left (if we understand tribal art and culture)...this can happen in a later post.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">So the </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">As I have mentioned, allowed me to understand the nature of developing ideas in a space, ambivalent to ideas, ideas which don't come from withing the political main advancement, </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b>THE REDESIGNING OF THE STUDIO</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The artist and their space is a personal interpretation </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">of the individual pursuits, ambitions. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">My </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">studio has been a refuge from dis mad world I live in.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It is a place, where I can make sense of what is happening</span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">. Continually I have been attempting to blur </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">the line at how the work in my personal space can move </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">further </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">into the development and planning of space, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">challenging the product of the personal space, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><b>the studio!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">2018, and before that I have been working in a methodology, where</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have been able to make urban proposals <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ELrLj683Qabbc0xpAgyt-QHZMYC7PVeb/view?usp=sharing">The PlaySpace File</a>, shows the work that we have been proposing. So looking at how my space functions, in making. I have realized that The Studio, needed to take on a more ambitious look to engage from a hand to eye, challenging, this artists control, understanding and re-educating </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">oneself of materiality.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b>DESIGN CONCERNS</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Space,has it own value; my space is intimate, small, private, multi-functional in the everdayness of the house, it is a garage, it is a place to shelter from the rain, there is a bathroom; so it is used by workers who come into do work on the house.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">in coming to a art-design solution, without compromising the green values of the landscape, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">1.</span> </b>- I have attempted to expand with that in mind, an extension of the roofing on the south value of the garage, gave me more space to work and cut down the rain coming into the space, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">2.</span> </b>- then I placed a grid, allowing for the removal of electric cords on the ground, safety, ease of movement, the grid also upgrades how, I can use the space, in taking photographs, doing video art work, etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">3.</span></b> - The Storage Room - I brought the roofing out on the west elevation, added a little more shelves, got rid of useless, things, which is hard for a collage artist, all things have value.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">4.</span></b> - Landscape - I'm of the opinion that the landscape can be used to be part of the future storage needs, store in plain site.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b>conclusion</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The studio, of the future of artist, will need to be vigorous in it making. I have postulated, that the new Trinidad and Tobago, artists, or at least this artist, needs to enter the discourse of planning and development. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">What this means, for the </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b>1 - artist</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b>2 - the work</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b>3 - the studio</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This means, the studios, private indulgences will evolve. To what? an inclusive genre of participatory aesthetics, which will provide another economy, for the artist.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We're not quite there and this will take time to evolve. But I can say this, when you go to the Regional Corporation,statutory meetings, look on the board, there is a committee, which has aesthetics as part of title. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This isn't much, because, what they mean by aesthetics, is not my understanding of aesthetics, but being there means, we can have a dialog with them about that word.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">When this happens, (this should be a conversation we as an artists community, should be having consistently with our leaders and community) we should be able to be in </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Social Development Aesthetics</span></b>, truly functional form making, rather than mural making, (not knocking murals) just knocking the simple levels they consider me, the artist in community development.</span><br />

Lots have happened and will continue to happen way into the new year. One of the happening things, was my visit to Pennsylvanian University to meet Prof John Jackson, Dean of, <a href="https://www.sp2.upenn.edu/sp2/school-social-justice/">THE SCHOOL OF SOCIAL POLICY AND PRACTICE</a>, and Aaron Levy, Director of <a href="https://slought.org/">SLOUGHT FOUNDATION</a> </span></div>

<br />
<br />
<strong>ART, POWER AND IMAGINATION -</strong> <br />When I read this article, as you never really get art news on India or other South-South countries, when I do I read, this one is interesting; I have argued that art sits in the realm of power, with support of the middle-intelligentsia-cultural-class; which is in itself powerful. As much as art can and has created social revolution in the world, cultural moments, Rasta, Mother Earth, Bob Marley, Steel Pan comes to mind, I have found that the research of art in pivoting moments in our Caribbean, Trinidad and Tobago context needs to be expanded or even explored, how has Leroy Clarke's paintings, Earl Lovelace or V.S Naipaul affected the philosophical mooring of political and aesthetic thoughts, this is something I have always wondered, in this everydayness of movements is the artists' embedded in those movements, just saying <br />
- Quote - "The gallery sits on prime real estate in the central business district of the city, with posh neighborhoods, the expansive Cubbon Park, upscale shopping hubs, government offices, the High Court, and Vidhan Soudha, the seat of the state government, all within walking distance. It is also in the same compound that houses the popular Government Museum and the Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum, both popular destinations for school trips and tourists." - Unquote -<br />

The last time, the art community came together was the local content policy debate, there has been a silence as neo-liberalism has taken over and we have all gone into the studio to make our work travel and get our careers doing, while Rome or other spectaculars takes it space, such as science, politics, religion. The arts have not taken its space on the hill, artists are afraid of the word revolutionary, boots and hard social intervention, even when art in itself is revolutionary.</div>

This being a protest, will it be a protest to say lets build a gallery in the poor communities of the world to show them that they matter, show them their power, what would that gallery be like, would we as proper middle-class protest for a museum in Laventill, Mt.

<strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">REFLECTION OF A WALKER</span></strong><br />
<strong>Carnival Monday and Tuesday Reflections.</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Well dis carnival, was de lowest it has been in my attendance to shows, events and my 10 years of walking the city of Port of Spain. There has been an attempt at smoothing the edges, fixing the cracks; so the visible soars where not as in your face as it would be...Carnival needs to get out of the obeah of bacchanal, the rum shop fraternity, open the door to design, systems and operation....One story a friend revealed to us....to get an all access pass, applied online, when he went to National Carnival Commission, NCC, they didn't have his pass, they checked found it, printed it, then told him that he would have to visit every single organization individually and get them to sign and pay them separately in cash, each one! this is rum shop design system thinking...where I want meh money up front so ah could go to the store an get meh rum for meh self, if you give he de money, he go by he rum fus, get drunk and spend out meh money, so give meh, me money in cash.....<br />
It is the same story with me, going to get my annual carnival CD's, by Cleaves music store, Port of Spain, "what is the latest carnival song Cleave?", "don't have any" "when yuh getting?" "not until after, might get some compilations", "why they don't come together to record some compilations for the early part of the season?" Cleaves tells me that he ask them to do that, people come to ask...the soca artists have not responded....<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>O-B-E-A-H</strong></span> .<br />
So we have to look at this<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh, I forgot to mention - Brian MacFarlan have no right to comment on the endeavors of Peter Minshall...Brian MacFarlan is part of the problem in synergy with Yuma and dem, the bikini and beads, low level design out put, where they look outwardly, take and implement...tdue to a lack of critical content they become heroic. </span><br />

<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">when I see this, I see the belly of carnival sitting in servitude to a festival their ancestors have played in major role in developing...when I see this I see the failure of our education system to provide peoples with the innovative skills to participate in their festival. I was in South Africa, I asked some friend lets go to this beach, they said nah not that one, to many white people there....ah say wow, isn't this what the anti apartheid revolution was for, the ability to go to these spaces.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is what carnival is...the ability for the proletarian to be another person, the masking, the ability to be a warrior, King and Queen for the season, not pulling rope...WTF </span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Art and Design</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As mentioned in my Instagram post Art is as democratic as any other phase in our lives, Carnival is a proletarian activity, where the ordinary becomes the extraordinary. Its in the translation of ideas where we can see how nimble, trained our hands are. There is a need for training of our craft peoples, artists and designers, the other thing, we do not have design in carnival, you can count on your hand the designers in carnival, what we have are mass makers, product people, marketers...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">To bring carnival to where it should be; is to speak of carnival from its ancestral and communal moorings, rather than its capitalist, business merits....heritage carnival supports real development, this slick, all inclusive carnival presentation supports an individualist position of the human form and enslaves spaces and people to its own bidding.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The city can't survive in this model as we see happening in J'orvert, where a black middle class have moved this celebration from downtown, to the outskirts, for reasons they say................... </span><br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">are security reasons, now the capital is almost empty, I played mud for 10 years, I have seen no major issues and we all know carnival is one of the safest times of our lives.....yet the death and the rise of class warfare is being supported by a African and East Indian middle class all in name of the neoliberalization, bling culture the feel that is needed to make them feel that they have made it.......</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiCmTHHe9ns5BnLr1XWuQmk975oS_u6o2v6opA0Q9M5pGq4Ao6OzOLMQ_4xUOBpfSZQDEtI3celCFwrVgabtSEbTnacNxNEv-GahlW1fEqARWLZ5wrV4-ettYowtxDmVOQVM_UESYltsM/s1600/WP_20141125_017.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiCmTHHe9ns5BnLr1XWuQmk975oS_u6o2v6opA0Q9M5pGq4Ao6OzOLMQ_4xUOBpfSZQDEtI3celCFwrVgabtSEbTnacNxNEv-GahlW1fEqARWLZ5wrV4-ettYowtxDmVOQVM_UESYltsM/s640/WP_20141125_017.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The concept of uptown and downtown carnival is real....carnival is one time you can see class separation in clear skin tones, and class division, Independence Square as we passed through is BLACK and WORKING CLASS, and black means Afro-Indo Trinbagonians, as you move West to Ariapita Avenue, there is colorism and little shading. Peoples have all moved to Ariapita Avenue, from Green Corner moving West, check it out.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">PEOPLES ECONOMICS</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">carnival is peoples business, I was once told how people don't work around carnival, which is an absurd notion of productivity, (working or not working in Trinidad have a lot to do with management and the relationship that has developed with workers through our history, their is plenty of ducking, their is also plenty illiteracy....buh dat is another story)....carnival is when people hustle, boil some corn soup sell, make a band play, be a DJ party, sell beer, drink....Bar-B-Q eat, carnival people HUSTLE, in so many ways, living rooms are converted into production spaces, garages into warehouses, cars into transportation....family into labor, friends to supporting network.... </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">THE NATIONAL CARNIVAL COMMISSION </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">have some work to do, this was Port of Spain, when I passed through around 3 pm, DEAD! I like the fact that there is the soca dome, it has created the opportunity for smaller bands to take up that void...what needs to happen is development, going into communities, supporting training and re-conceptualizing of what we deemed what carnival is...with the intention that we can have 50 small to medium size bands by next year........ </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">DIS ROPE BUSINESS</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I find this funny that black people have brought back the colonial rope, to block black people from there own people....one part of colonial was playing mass on truck, that will be the next step....when we could invest our time in shaping or censuring behavior, we always react emotionally unintelligently to situation....in my community dem watless youth liming in de tree, de elders want to cut down de tree, Manning hav a problem with de contractors, he for UDECOT, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">WE ALWAYS CREATING SOME MAD ASS SYTEM DAT DOH WOK FOR NOBODY.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So a man and some woman get dey ass beat up and dey pelt bottle because of ignorant security.......</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">HEAR DIS STORY</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ah breads and me was talking about harvest in the St. Johns community, I asked him, do you'll have harvest still (he is from the squatter community up St Johns Road, which is being regularized now), he told ne nah, dem fellas and dem, is fight to much in de harvest, so dey stop it.....I asked, so no one never asked them to stop, there was a silence and he said no!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">No one never said to the men, stop fighting, no aunty, no mother, no uncle, grandfather, friend, girlfriend, son, daughter....no one said to stop.....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the same situation with the rope....the ROPE! a racist legacy is being used by children of slaves and indentured workers to regulate their own people of color.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">THAT IS HILLARIOUS................................</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">DUE TO OUR LACK OF INNOVATION WE CAN'T DEVELOP SOCIAL TOOLS TO SUPPORT SOCIAL CHANGE</span></span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">These
5 points are large exclamation marks as to why we need our artists and design
community to ingrain an art-design dialectics into our communities, as verbs,
nouns, adjectives, semi-colons... in the structural development of statements;
when engaging in our particular aesthetics as it pertains to progressive
development, in the absence of art-design vocabulary, our language have become
bombastic and confrontational as we step towards modern development, there is
this myth that development is a curse on life, rightly so, colonialism and post
independence development policy have corrupted the planning processes, making
our communities hotspots spaces for squatting of businesses, houses, parked
cars, erosion, unsightliness, ugliness...uncivilizing living, developing
animosities between neighbours; this can be witnessed from West Moorings to
Laventille; Laventille to Lange Park, Lange Park to Moruga, our first response
to development is to shut it down, take action, its the fear of elitisms and
elitisms in development... this brings to mind the Children’s Court, which was proposed
to be installed North of the Bhagwansign’s project, it was decried; as it will
bring criminals, even thou the proposed court was a civil court dealing with
children matters, with mediation rooms, playspaces etc. There was absoluteness
in the community resistance. </span><br />

The Bangkok Tree House Project, proves how we can design green, blend in to the environment the memory of spaces, reclaim as we build. what it takes is a willingness to listen, learn, communicate. In these instances design sets a vanguard formula of how a community will like to see its self.<br />

never developed to the potential of the village or the heritages of the

no conceptualization of babies, children, women, differently-able, the aged in

authoritarian, adult oriented, unappealing, therefore violating the rights of
space and the humanity of living to our full potential.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

within the design community, at least at Harvard’s; they’re innovating,
recognizing and developing in marginalized spaces this consciousness, this
consciousness is being received by communities, why? I’m of the feeling that
these communities have recognized this absence, they have seen their
<strong>malnourishment</strong>...what it has done to them and a people who recognizes their

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">On
a social and political level the protection of space and heritage is on the
table...what is the disturbing is the relationship of the conversation, the
constituents, communities are arrogant, ignorant, and angry at a political
system which has created this atmosphere through corruption and undisciplined
behaviour, architects, planners, designers and artists community are silent or
not in synergetic relationship in creating language; how can we come to that
special position of understanding how we can deconstruct this material
consumption philosophy or the internal cynicism towards design development .
I’m at a point in understanding, from a theoretical, philosophical and
political consciousness, social art-design possibilities in modifying our
behaviour, I see art-design in educating, elucidating our space, our modernity,
while preserving the sugar cane plantation in us all.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

plastic arts and design have a contested relationship, in conversations with my
design colleagues on new hybrid possibilities of art and design in our modern
society; I have found resistance to the creation of a mix characterization of
art and design, although our modernity have witnessed an emergence of an
international design practice, where the psychoanalytical properties of art
have merged with the logic driven design; creating a nebulous innovative
environment for the practice. Artists and designers have emerged new operational
modules, challenging language vibrations; operating more fluently into
indigenous spaces, also challenging the philosophical rational of this new
performance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

make these observations as an art-designer, whose interdisciplinary practice;
have seen projects developed through the merger of both the psychological nuances
of art and design. First the craft of <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>jewelry at John Donaldson Technical
Institute; were I confronted the industrial art of crafting metal and the
wondrous properties of metal and fire – <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Industrialism</i></b>, at the Language of
Art Environment; I met artists Edward Bowen-painter, Chris Cozier-graphics/printer/writer,
Steve Ouditt-designer, Irene Shaw-painter – in this period I found the
confidence of the artist in developing the unconscious to conscious aesthetics,
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Confidence
of the Unconscious and Conscious Practice</i></b>, at University of West Indies-
I was able to develop further my understanding of the politics aesthetics,
through conversations with peers in the hallways and bars of UWI – <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Political
Aesthetics and Activism as practice</i></b>, at the Ontario College of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Art and Design University, Toronto, I was
able to re-enforced the critical and analytical strength of the presentation,
objectification, materiality and environment..<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Critical Thinking in Practice.<o:p></o:p></i></b></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This
rational of product making or aesthetics, is hard to quantify as it sits deep
in the centre of development or psychology of design; where design is placed in
this logical, processed form of thinking about materiality, objectivity and
market; which can be both people and economic, the merging of these two forms
bring a radical approach to materiality, marketing, economics etc.; at the same
time deconstructing the sacredness of monolithic thinking, while embracing
abstraction and free form making as a progression of logical design thought. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

the study of objects of design in their historical and stylistic contexts.<br />

Design history has had to incorporate criticism of the 'heroic' structure of
its discipline, in response to the establishment of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_culture" title="Material culture"><span style="color: blue;">material

of art history through the incorporation of the televisual, film and new

production and consumption.”<br />

has been done is pit design into consumption theology in the act of production

this attraction to material culture, which designers have hinged this hierarchy
or hegemony to, while disregarding that art has these same formulas is somewhat
invalid and misleading. As we belong to a cultural ancestry of fluid dynamism,
which was able to merge material thinking, the industrial and the abstraction
of intellectual aesthetics... forming one thought of a spiritual, social,
political and economic communal functionality; our Amerindian, African, Asian,
Middle Eastern and East Indian ancestry (for now I’ll leave the European out,
but if we also look into their history we’ll find this merging), all have these
specific formulas of art and design built into their natural fabric, check the

Re-Development of the Peera Stool, <br />
is a prime example of how a designer can assist in the development of art and craft.<br />
The re-imaging of a normal object, which would have been crafted through skilled and unskilled hands<br />
to work out a need, in a designers hands there're certain specifics that are taken into consideration to<br />
bring the project to objectivity. Design has changed to engage social design, where the social designer <br />
is more observant of people, behavior - thus the designer has become a anthropologist, psychologist, sociologist <br />

is interesting in this article; is how divorced authority is to the language of
beauty, how authoritarian we have become from an education, which have created
robots, built for industrial work, orders and commands. There is no softness in
power, in understanding both the authority and the management of beauty - <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Art</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">There
is natural right of the proletariat; to an innovative education, encouraging
the natural instinct toward intellectual thought of the mind, to the
instinctive craft and skill of the hand; merging the academics of life,
evolving child to man to woman as an all inclusive conscious aesthetic
property.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a clear attitude of
socialist norms...but its more than that, it is the natural anthropological
behaviour of all humans to behave in such a manner, it’s our inability to
control the language of capitalism, which has created this ambivalence towards
space and behaviour. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

is needed is the designing of art into the living of these spaces, art-designing
how people manage these spaces, it is not enough to say that there’re are
resident associations leaving it like that, we must art-design how these association
operate, the social implication of roll out is important in the social
art-designing of living spaces. At this point HDC spaces are just designed,
this is the issue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">On
the passing of Embah and the termination of Camile Selvon-Abraham, a disturbing
thought came up. Over the years the National Museum of Trinidad and Tobago,
have never found it fit to do a retrospective of Embah’s contribution to the
aesthetics history of this country and the wider region. Why?...Embah is arguably
one of our great painters, a solid philosopher and a historical treasure trove
of facts and figures of events. Embah’s art holds within it a sovereignty to
self, when I peer into his work, I can see me, that innocence of self when you
stand naked before the alter, before you take on words of the world, becoming
that evolved human, global, neo liberal, educated self. Embah, kept it real at
a high level of concentration, deliberate, forcing us to think of the
primitive, placing at our feet the sugar cane plantation, which we have been
running and fuming about, ever since emancipated and indentureship. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I
met Embah as a child on the walls at home, it seems that Embah would approach
workers in Tatil building to buy his paintings which my father did, so I was
exposed to Embah’s work from a young child, in some way his paintings gave
validation to the primitive; the child, that primal me, which exist and still
exist in me as an adult, an artist...a worker, that part in me which loves, but
is afraid to show it due to a modernization, which spelt the death to emotions.
Embah’s primitivism told me not to be afraid of the line, the mark or the
colour that is me; when we were told to conform, speak, and perform in a
colonialist manner. Embah made the primitive right and challenged almost single
handily the notion of an empirical art education, based deep in the bowels of
Western visual conceptualization. I’m not sure if Dad, bought Embah’s work
because he sympathised with the artists plight or he truly loved the worked,
for whatever reason, I’m forever grateful to be part of the work in such an
intimate way, Embah’s paintings allowed me certain visual confidence to step
into my aesthetic skin, which was confrontational to the traditional
representations our society was accustomed. So when I was told why don’t you
appeal to the market, or when I was told that I should understand how it works,
etc etc...they should understand origin. I will also say that I was also
confronted by Leroy Clarke and Leo Glasglow...but it was Embah’s work that
excited me.</span></div>

always thought that Embah had the opportunity to excite our society, Peter Doig
and Chris Ofili, both technically sound fine artists, expats, with international
art careers invested time in Embah’s art...so why our National Museum of
Trinidad and Tobago or the Artists Society of Trinidad and Tobago , never saw
the fit to invest in presenting Embah to the national community or to the world.
The most I can think...Embah represents a primitivism, the middle class, in
charge of promoting culture, feels ashamed of, they repel or wish to repeal all
that is with the natural expression, the jammette, the child to adult, and our
natural instinctive qualities to simplicity, or is it just plane short-sightedness
or laziness. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Our
National Museum has never been able to intellectualize these conceptions. You
noticed that the exhibition was conceptualized by an anthropologist, and has
been on display since 1999, that is over 16 years. Let’s understand the length
and breadth of conceptualization, the investment into projects. This is the
ingredients of a National Museum.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">But
I’m getting ahead of myself...when I saw this collection, I understood Embah as
a surrealist, an artist who was caught in the mist of the mind, in the power of
the other, seeing that deeper meaning in things, you can call it up-cycling,
for an ecological, political conversation. But Embah was caught in a
intellectual, philosophical, spirituo-political conversation with
objectification. If we take into consideration his understanding of his African
traditions and knowledge, I can say that Embah is a surrealist. But also, for
me a collage artist caught in materiality and convergence of materials, Embah
works hold deep natural traditions of survival, necessity, using the
everydayness of objects and implying into them, Obeah, further implication on
the everyday, like his xylophones, musical sculptural metaphors for alters, for
our Obeah, they were imbued with his Obeah, you could have interacted with the
work, the sounds coming out created another dynamic, another look of we Obeah.
Embah was able to put the everydayness on another level, through the magic of
his art, Obeah of being...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Structurally,
Embah speaks of our natural ability to be innovative, from a design position
Embah’s works pulls to our direct visual core, a conversation of the throw away
object and how we as a people, have been able to make a 10cents out of a
5cents. We have built our homes, we have built our economics and cultural space
out of reuse, our traditional space has been built on the fact that nothing
almost never goes to waste. Embah’s work acknowledges these facts. Embah’s work
can be seen from an anthropology of ecology, design and architecture through art.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I’ll
expect that a National Museum will speak of these issues more in-depth, with
more passion and curiosity of Embah’s contribution to the intellectual,
philosophical legacy to our aesthetics. Not only for Embah’s art, but for art
and design. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

the art society is all about the private concerns of certain artists, if you’re
about that, being a member matters, if you’re about the wider expanse of the
politics of art and design in our society the Artists Society of Trinidad and
Tobago, lives in an antiquated dream, lost to them is the modern political
nuances of art, design, sculpture and craft. On this eve of elections, culture
sits at the lowest ebb, the bastard child in the cabinet, used as a slush fund,
to play politics with; because culture is soca, chutney and calypso. I’ll ask,
did the Artists Society of Trinidad and Tobago, gazette their membership vision
for their sector? Or how we can contribute in the development of our society?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Inter – American Development Bank loan to UWI, (TT$3.8million) were used to
construct “a partial, if custom made facility”, opened in 2000 as Centre for
Creative and Festival Arts. This facility housed the Music and Visual Arts
Units, while Theatre, Dance, Carnival Studies and the Festival Library and
Documentation Centre remained at the Agostini Street centre until a future
“second phase” would see it move. This second phase never happened and the units
remained apart.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of money, lots of development, needed and worthy. But while the Visual Art and
Music Units sit on lands that belong to Continuing Studies Unit, and I’m told
they really don’t want to depart with the Gordon Street Facility. This was what
I thought we would have seen, the Continuing Studies Building, on Gordon Street
would have become the Department of Creative and Festival Arts, you would have
expanded the facilities to comprehend the needs of the national community. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

it is now there is a whole new building that is being proposed on a whole new site

facilities – Ceramics, Foundry, Mould Making, Music and Documentation. The
estimated $40million is being disposed on two units Dance and Theatre, at the

thinking; here is an opportunity to build a visionary statement in art education,
a building that will illuminate the direction of art and design in the development
discourse of the national community and inclusion of all units, but what is
happening is an upgrade in two and the squatting of others, at $40million.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

just didn’t happen, this was happening since 1998, which is 17 years Bro! 17
years to prepare for this moment of a one sided development. The question, what
it would have taken to raise the required amount of money which would have seen
a building belonging to the Department of Creative and Festival Art, inclusive
of all units. As a past student of Ontario College of Art and Design University,
OCADU, which was settled in the heart of Toronto City, first their building was
an amazing example of small space with big impact, holding almost all the
visual arts, design components, there was another building which contained the
film and animation; their expansion was done by an amazing design, which must
have taken serious planning design and implementation. I feel that this move
being done is just another spurt development project typical to Trinidad and
Tobago, and some time further down the line, DCFA management will be looking
for more money to deal with the other. I will feel much more comfortable if
there was a serious look at our community needs, a consultation, a plan, and a
trajectory towards those goals<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the colonial infrastructure and re-configuring the society on a new basis that

is a serious investment, to not consider overall inclusion of all units and
their importance to the national and international discourse, with more and more Caribbean artists blowing up in galleries and intervening in the international art scene, it will be inevitable that we will have artists based here and operating on an international level one day. The economist are telling us it
will not be getting easier, we’re spending more than innovating, The University
is attempting to become more financially independent and in charge of raising
their own funds. This will mean that the management of the DCFA, will have to
also become more creative in their own fund raising; they can accomplish this by
building synergy with partners here and internationally... Art is the second
force. You have to be able to make a 5cent do 10cent work. Whatever is the politics playing in the department, they have missed an opportunity to be a light in art education institution in the Caribbean.....hffff $40million.....</span><br />

their case in the courts against the Ministry of Planning; on the development

massacred in a black gospel church...they forgave the killer. We sent out

much as life matters, in life design is considered. From the colloquium, I have

we’re with the opportunity to create a hybrid scenario, between art and design
in the transformation process of our society. Art has the possibility of
opening the soul, design have the intention of regulating that soul, through
the understanding of process. I will agree with a Minister who in a speech
mentioned, I will paraphrase “Trinidadian and Tobagonians, having been trying
to create our own path, our rebellious nature, our slackness, is our way of
finding that path”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

we look at the anthropological and pyscological nature of slackness, the women

considered the noble desire for true altruism, a hyper, neo-real Robin Hood.
The fact that people can’t seem to turn their back on such people who act off
social-deviant behaviour, I have heard words come from mouths of Minister, Mr.
Cadiz, The Honourable Kamla... the mouths of neighbours concerning people who
have done harm to people, they come to their defence, either as colleagues,
friends, neighbours, groupings, ethnic groups, mothers, dads, brothers, sisters

frowned upon, why? Our space has been an activist space from the very beginning
of its modernity, The Caribbean has been in activist mode, still to this day
we’re still trying to get it right. Artists and designers must embrace the fact
that what we’re doing is an activist practice, no matter how dumb down your
work is or how high intellectual your work may be, what we’re doing is
activating space. Tribe as much as Chris Cozier are activating; one on low pop
culture, high capitalism, low aesthetics, the other is stimulated through a
high level of intellectual conceptual consideration for pop culture. They’re
both in the game, what is needed is more conversations to work out what are the
benefits of a Tribe cultural shift, or a Chris Cozier’s cultural shift or a By
Making, Ccooabel or Sun Eaters Organics, Yao Ramesar’s Films. To find that, we
need to embrace activism, in the understanding of our products, or expressions.
Truth in activism, finds truth of self.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

of a new burgeoning middle class, who in their imagination live not here within
their geographical borders but within the neo-liberal, global economy of
capitalist, consumption and imagination; where art seems built more to
negotiate foreign markets and cultural borders rather than local cultural

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This confused state
of cultural alienation and anomie is being fuelled mainly by absence among all
classes of any historical connection to a philosophical, conceptual or
intellectual politics of Caribbean aesthetics. There is also no connection to
the historical struggle that went into the shaping of our cultural innovations
over the last two centuries. Our contemporary middle-class cultural politics, owes
it allegiance only to capital as reflected in the class differentiations now
characteristic of our cultural events - VIP, VVIP, VVIP... a neo-capitalism
that has sunk its teeth into our imagination.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">the warm welcome of the Tilting Axis- Visual
Art Conference-2015, means something, when we put into context all the other
discussions and political action taking place at this time., Conversations
around innovation, diversification, the EU investment into civil society
(Trinidad and Tobago), the re-conceptualization of craft education programme,
SKILL and Education, both primary and secondary; there is also an intellectual re-conceptualization
discourse happening about the Caribbean and innovation, coming from the
International Relations Department, UWI.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>All this could provide a context for the discourses of Tilting Axis
within the frame of a larger developmental conversation and yes, this is a warm
welcomed sign. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">But this sign set in
motion other questions that need to be asked around class and the construction
of art in the Caribbean. Studio 66 is a metaphor of class aesthetics. There are
many reasons why people or organizations could not or would not be
present.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The event already had a
significant number of people - 30, there could have been a lack of funds, conflicting
schedules etc. But this also brings up the glaring issue of where individual
artists or groups of artists sit within the evolving political realities of
modern contemporary art here in the Caribbean and who is shaping this reality. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

in this schizophrenic voice, of being of, and not being of; what they produce, our
voice has no value in the neo-liberal capitalist conversation of the Western art
gallery system, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">biennials</i>, ART BASEL’s
etc.; their power sits within the geographical space whence it came, which is
void and confused of this particular contemporary voice. It is a simulacrum, a
theatrical set, a performance; as was done when we displayed our bodies for
consumption in the early era of the 50’s and 60’s. These performances are done
all at high stakes, for careers and reputations. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

when my musician colleague tells me that when he says to the immigration
officer that he is an artist, their response is “Wha!?” Here sits Art, at two
extreme points, one of awe, one of disbelief. The motivation of any conference
is to set the constructive value of the politics of art to community, the value
of art to ourselves, paraphrasing what Oslander described as:<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“the
building of Caribbean art histories in the consciousness of the American
public”</i> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and I will paraphrase, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“the building of Caribbean art histories in
the consciousness of the Caribbean public.”</i> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This means therefore that when there is the
next sit down in 2016 as mentioned in the article; there must be action taken
to develop a social art-design activism involving interactions with the
working-classes, civil society, and academia. This is already happening in a
small way, as we speak in some of our communities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

powers sits in its obeah, its ancestral ties to an earlier time when art sat as
totems, forces laying claim to space, mind and body. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This would set the stage for a different
intellectual and aesthetic paradigm of art, one that is more communal, social
and interactive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This means having
conversations on new ways of injecting art into our social space. It means finding
systems, maybe like a sou-sou or friendly societies, panchayats, gayaps
etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These can become the templates for
our arts councils. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In setting up a
discussion on sustainability and connectivity, contemporary art negotiators
must be cognisant of the entrapment of the pervasive neo-liberal, capitalist,
global agenda for art and aesthetics. This is necessary when the imaginary of
art has almost no political voice within our geographical borders; at least
within my borders of Trinidad and Tobago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Since independence, The Trinidad and Tobago Art Society for example has
developed projects that have set public art and design two steps backwards,
while the Trinidad and Tobago Institute of Architects sits silent on the role
of art and design within their work. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Tilting the Axis really wish to tilt the axis, there must be a collective
understanding of the deconstructive and reconstructive approach to power. In
reframing capital, society, masculinity and femininity, we must in our backyard
spark an imaginative revolution of how art renegotiates space in our region.
Art must be the totems on the walls of our modern structures; posters in our
chattel communities. Artists must become the shamans, not the colourful court
jester. Most importantly there must be a serious approach to deconstructing the
schizophrenic duality, with which we as the middle class continuously battle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Whatever these specific struggles are, it is an organized working class that is
best placed to challenge dominant ruling-class relations [4.6], which is the
precondition for challenging dominant ruling-class values of art and improving
the situation of art.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

reconstructing real power means the total deconstruction of self, the analysis
of power as self and the eventual repositioning of self within the community communal
aspirations of the political, social, economic, historical and the aesthetics,
in the one voice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

understanding from our investors; when this support is given, it comes via a
condescending manner, a tongue in cheek, a scowl of disbelieving in. Meh

is here we sit in our own patch of bush, pushing our own set of rules in
development, which underscores the elemental position of art, a tool of
enlightenment, sharing, storytelling, traditional, revolutionary, innovation.
Where ever you sit within the totem of art or design; there is one thing in
common...we all wish to convey a feeling of well being in our being by placing
a subjective part of us, into an objective self. We do this from our patch of
bush, we grow the grass tall, sitting very comfortably in the knowledge of our
doing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

interest, both in the community and out of the community, there must also the
need to open the international dialog, build synergies, where we can get a host
of people voices into the conversation of social design. What this will look like? I'm not sure, it has already happened in the people who have partnered with the project and the other people, who will join in the conversation. I will like to see in the end a conversation with organizations, like the Institute of Architects of Trinidad and Tobago, the Planners, Civil Society groups. This afternoon, there will be a civil society meeting at UWI, Fire Circle, I'm guessing in this meeting there will be an open conversation which will bring up the topic of how women are treated in a society, which is hostile. How can we address this is through social design.</span></div>

Dada, has this new opportunity to create new leadership models. I'm thinking off the top of my head and thinking that Alice Yard, is directed in that informal position, Studio66. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I'm
glad when I call someone and they say, hey lets meet, we meet with a cup in
hand and go over ideas, plans they share, things get shaped, the ideas as it
was is now something else, a little more powerful, I might be perplexed that my
concepts will have to be challenged, I have grown in the knowledge of collaborations
protocols and what that truly means. <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Sharing concepts means, shedding the ego, put it away. I have learned, I have learned while kicking and fighting. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I have also learned to insist that this is my idea, there is a time when there must be control of that. Collaboration, like "Partnering", like Social Design, will involve a certain amount of loss of the individual or a higher understanding from the individual of how they will be needed to operate in the evolving science of social involvement with our individual artistic pursuit. Art for Art Sake; is a pejorative that we can't use, at this particular time, just as "Post Black" can't be used in Afro-American artistic parlance, as Ferguson, New York, the I CAN'T BREATH protest from celebrities to the burning and death of our young men by gun culture from there peers and police in Trinidad and Tobago, says that we must look at how aesthetics operate in this socially fragile state. </span></span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">When
it comes to social designing the artist becomes a conductor, placing the right
people in the right place, allowing them to be who they are means the best for
the project, it also means that the artist must adapt to a new way of seeing work move from one status to the other. There is the political and the integrity of the project, which must be protected in the name of the project not necessarily the artist. The project is alive, carrying within it something very potent and constructive, when placed with all its properties will have a voice, speaking for its the space and the people of that space. The people should in all humanity speak for the space, the project, they should grasp something deep within them, be moved to find that empowering emotive voice, as will when we see the horror of abuse to a child, if this does not happen, there is more work to be done.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There is no losers here, any involvement here is what I will call immersive branding, deep into the bowels of the community, working I hope alongside a project that will be built in stead with or in contribution with the community. Social design, art as other projects which imply those same tools, have something that needs recognition. This is the psychological empowering aspect of these types projects embraces in them. As it is a tool that see craft people walking away in a frame of mind that sees the greater possibilities of their hands, their minds. But these interventions can't be one off, it needs continuum and further development. the Heritage Cities project, development of space of other spaces around design protocols, which will have maintenance, social, economic responsibilities that will be laid down. The development of garden groups that will maintain the space in hand over; the garden group needs to be trained at Centeno maybe, the development of structural watch group, the formation of play attendants, these are all possibilities. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Friday 17 October 2014- 7-10 a.m @ the Trinidad and Tobago Hilton Hotel; w</span><span style="font-size: large;">e presented to the national community the project. After long deliberations and back and forth, there would have come the time when the project will be mature enough to be presented. Its in this presence that it will find form, here it will speak, here it will come into the world, not of a whisper but of an acknowledgement of a wondrous adjective.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here in the La Boucan Room, in the early morning of light, with salt fish, breads, eggs and an assortment of Juices, we made a performance, an oratory performance of voices, models, catalogs, programmes, food. All set the stage for consumption of thought. To keep minds open to digesting possibilities, finalities, direction, economics, politics, communalism, roles.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">On this day we lay not only on the red carpet an idea, we lay our souls, integrity, ethics, we placed a philosophy away of working that has certainties all wrapped up in how it can happen. This just can't be pulled out of a cardboard box, this is an investment in time, a struggle in finding values which belong within our communities, then in extension us. As I mentioned to one corporate citizen, it is brand building. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We were saying, here, we can!, with you, we can. I understand that they will have to retreat to their meeting rooms have a conversation and return with roles, mandates for participation. I look forward to this.

On that note, Friday 17 we presented the Tacarigua Sculptural Playground Project to the national community. We got in attendance a small but influential group of people. What was noted was the comment made by Dr. Tewarie, who was impressed by the development of the idea, how the concept was develop as a concept, rather than a concept for money. This is important to note. We got some interest in the project and we will have to follow up on the interest that was shown.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Ideally the presentation of the space should be in a room that can take manipulation, a little grey room will have been cool. Then you have the opportunity to manipulate the space to your intention. The La Boucan Room, is way busy. The carpet bright like sun, the shades and that little screen. Wanted a room that we could have easily created a sensation in design through easy manipulation. Maybe Hilton Hotel can invest in a Grey Presentation Room or a small white cube.</span></div>

<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dr. Tewarie, made an impressive presentation as a man of literature, a learned man who came from the bowels of UWI, politics and business. As the Minister of Planning and Sustainability. Dr. Tewarie, in my sense removed his hat temporarily and spoke as a man of letters; on hearing the virtues of the Tacarigua Sculptural Playground Project. As I'm thinking the other participants where. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">Negotiating through space an idea, that was once called the Sculptural Park, morphing into playground; why?</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">A lot of these things have to do with our society, with our education, our concept of art and our concept of design; and the inability of our cultural and education organization in supporting or organizing project that have strong conceptual cost factors.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>Dada&Projects</strong></span> has been formed to see other like minded projects will evolve into the light of day. This one project will give the NGO the working strength to grasp other projects and run with it. There is this need and there are other groups out there, as much as there are other playspaces, like the digicel playspace. What we want to bring to the open is the ideation of art-design, there have been other self made projects, built by hands and installed in our parks. Right there in the same savannah there is a home made built swing set.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">What we want to add to this self making, Do It Yourself, DIY culture is the design ability component of DIY....this project says let us test our abilities in innovation. Let us find where we truly stand in the concept that we have in our mind that we're so very innovative and creative. There are several of the innovative aspects to this project.</span></div>
<ol>
<li><div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">Designing from memory.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">Development through Participation in project management.</span></div>
</li>
</ol>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">This project will bring to the light data, and so far the data as mentioned above of how we get a idea from one position to another position. In designing social positioning this ritual is important. This performativity with our community is as important as the idea itself. I have learned that I must push to the back my artist selfish orientation and struggle to be patient in the development exercise.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>Social Art-Design</strong></span> has this process, long deep breaths, with an anxiety that comes, especially when as an artist in studio, I get the material, build, present, hell with it all.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">There is another deliberation, and what happened on Friday 17 October, 2014. Was as necessary for the money but the sharing act of social design, to say there is something else, let us have a conversation, if you like what you see, let us talk about how we can see this happen. So far the response was enthusiastic. Let see where we can go from there. Energy changes suddenly. </span></div>
<div align="left">

days or week or so ago, I stood on a stoop with a colleague speaking of process
in construction; how the understanding of process; one can gauge the proper
progression of a project. One understands possibilities of the craft man, the
economics, what can be done, and in the presentation of the project to client
the design sits with clarity, a hawk eye view, bringing understanding,
patients, peace. The architect sees all, the client sees what they want,
becoming myopic, distorting the critical discussion that is needed to complete
the job. The project is deliberated, critic, delays, time overruns, runing up
the client limited financial resources.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

an artist, who sits in the privacy of my studio, I’m usually away from this type
of interpersonal reasoning. At time I will bounce thoughts off my partner, and
even that isn’t in a collaborative position, more of an intellectual response
of sorting out concepts. I’m lord in my domain; no one shall come onto me,
dictator for life. The artist is the solitary creator in object making, we can
say economics, galleries, and curators can sway the artist work. Still, this

people feelings, to be polite, mannered? I was also taught to be fort-right.

community meeting one of the many interactions I have had with the community in
conveying the project possibilities of transforming our communal space into a
more empowering act of self determination. As usual a sprinkling of people
showed up, which allowed for an intimate conversation of the direction of the
project. Like how the word playground, could be changed to playspace;
playground, presents in the imagination a concrete development, large over
empowering, which some people in the community are protesting against. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

two voices in my head have allowed me the opportunity to be civil and rude boy
at the same time, I have witnessed and understand the position of design and
the position of art. This solitary behavior, have kept the artist from the
world, keeping them in a perpetual underdevelopment. Designers interact with
production in a very personal, interactive way, if done right can set a tract
to an impressive re-positioning of art-design production, between industry and
state.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In
October 17, we will present the project to the national community for financial
support. This was a deliberate position, just as we interacted with community
it is important to interact with the wider citizens of the national community,
business and state, people. Seeing, listening, and hearing how they respond to
the project, to innovation. How we as artist, designers respond to them. The
anthropological and psychological, economical and sociological nuances are all
too important to miss out. Mr. Felix Bartholomew; Project Coordinator; have
proposed a project management strategy, referred to as “Partnering”</span></div>

is based upon mutual respect, integrity and trust (i.e., appreciation for the
other party’s capabilities, firm adherence to common standards and values; and
total confidence in the integrity, ability and character of the other party).
In addition, it created a working environment in which the stakeholders work
towards common goals and objectives. It also creates a smooth operation and a
working relationship that allows for problems and differences to be resolved
quickly, amicably and to the benefit of the parties/stakeholders.”<o:p></o:p></span><br />

confrontation between class systems; of ethnicity, professional and gender
needs to happen, this can<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>happen at the
centre of physical model; within the circular process of production; lies the
ability to deconstruct form. Developing an alternative understanding of indigenous
intellectual, ethical and philosophical conceptualization of new formality. The
new form with it inherent nobility sets the stage for how it will operate
within the communal; the new forms ability to infuse nobility to people and
space sits with its desirability, which sits in a design indigeneity. The
relational to the internal spiritual intellectual understanding of reform is
important to the deconstruction of the oppressive object.</span></span></div>

lies the nucleus, in revolutionizing the desirability of the consumer-able
design product. Challenging how production, imperialism and capitalism can
operate within a space, a community and nation. Designing within memory of
space and people, holds the possibility of evolving new paradigms for art,
sculpture, architecture and design in post-colonial spaces, developing
countries and ghettoized spaces in our communities. There can be no revolution
without a historical thought in design conceptualization towards re-production,
re-marketing and re-economics. </span></span></span></div>

their personal memories through photos, social gatherings, parties, pictures of
their personal spaces – kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, bedroom. Studio
photos from their past, pictures of their spiritual journeys, at the beach,
just being. We will also go into real time space of the community to grab,
pull, borrow, talk, feel what the community in real time is saying. Here you
grab, pull, extract, borrow, till iconography is developed, grow it, nurture it
till we have something that can affect feelings within that one person, family,
friend, neighbour, community. A multitude of one iconography towards a communal
feeling of well being is the idea, that individual cells build into one body,
one community, one social cell structure. Bounded together through aesthetic
empowerment, design... art.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What should

<span style="font-family: Cambria;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB">Conclusion,</span></b><span lang="EN-GB"> the desirable objectification, we all want for our personal spaces,
can be achieved through the re-constitution of the desirable art-object.
Political intention and confrontational dialogue between the artist-designer-crafts
people-manufacture and state must happen, encouraged; towards the mannerism
needed in the reconstitution of a new manifesto. There must be direct relations
between the artists, the state (or at least a respect of intellectual capacity)
and the capitalist system, made up of the manufacturers, business, technocrats,
bureaucrats and other diverse communities.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">This reconstitution should be able to re-evaluate
system and put forward a new aesthetic policy.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">This can only be established; when the
intellectual worlds understand the goals of purposeful intention for the desirability
of the new art-object. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">Aesthetic policy must insist, that order
prevails in the subjective order of the object, there is this consciousness in
design, a critical content, which makes it live, this is the desirer, this is
art motives, a democracy of intelligence, i.e. the democracy of criticality.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB">Awareness</span></b><span lang="EN-GB">; We must engage the desirable object in a very communal conscious
manner, through confrontation we will draw on truth, expose fakers, plagiarist
and profiteers of the cultural art-object.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">Through a consistent persistence to this
objective order, confrontational aesthetic ordering, have the possibility of
bringing an alternative political aesthetic ascension, from a dysfunctional
normality, which can emulate and validate our human cultural characteristics.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">An aesthetic policy democratizes not only
the object, globalizes our intelligence; through process there is an internal
and external physical and metaphysical evolution, that happening, that needs to
be provoked and fed on; be reconstituted into the other.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">This new art-design object aspires us to
become that what we are not, it is the political acquisition of this aspiration
through a revalued capitalist system that can restate communal space. We
propose that this euphoria can be available to all. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">There is a disturbing beauty in the
corrupted version and I’m sure that we’re inclined to hold to, moving from an
understated position to an aesthetic order means systematic willingness to
impale into the already overburden system a sense of languaging that will speak
to governability, economics, community and the politics of our own ambitions.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">Present political theoretical realities and
the aesthetic political theory of the Sculptural Playground Project to build a
physical space where the art-designers can articulate theoretically and
practically; a political and economic transformational discourse, developing
emotional confliction; as it is presented to state, business and community.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">Success lies in thought; the presentation
of the theoretical proposition of the Sculptural Playground Project; if not
another; is desired, if not for the survival of the art-designers community,
the community in which we inhabit, our identity, but for our shear humanity as
we negotiate space. </span></span></span></div>

install “The Tacarigua Sculptural Playground” as the prototype for a unique
Trinidad and Tobago model that would inspire national pride, promote national
consciousness, build character and establish a distinctive identity among young
Trinidad and Tobago nationals. This innovative project involves the use of indigenous
design, construction and installation of 23 play-items in the Orange Grove
Savannah, Trincity, Tacarigua. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

community based project using the creative industries - art, architecture and
artisanal crafts as a basis for the incorporation of art and design in local
construction and urban development. This project has the potential to evolve
into an incubator industry for indigenous art and design in construction
projects for the local, regional and international market. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

cultural production.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The proposed
sculptural playground will celebrate local art, design and artisanal skills as
well as the community’s unique histories, ethnic diversity and their contribution
to leadership and national development. This playground project will develop a
basis for the design and production of uniquely designed play items which
through interaction with the community and or the clientele results in

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Most
child development experts agree that play is the foundation of intellectual
exploration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is how children learn
how to learn. Abilities essential for academic success and productivity in the
workforce such as problem solving, reasoning, and literacy all develop through
various kinds of play, as do social skills such s cooperation and sharing (Linn,
2008:12-13).”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

invaluable skills – to immerse themselves in experience, solve problems, create
possibilities where none exist, learn what it’s like to be someone else, and
make something new form that which already exists(Linn,2008:22-23)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

recognition of the importance of play in children’s lives and as this society
seeks to address many of the problems of dysfunctional child development, this
assumes greater significance. Today there is an increased demand for play
spaces as evidenced by the establishment of play spaces in shopping malls and
at multinational fast food outlets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
project presents the possibility for locally designed and crafted play items
that can fire the imagination of young citizens in a way that imported, chain
produced items are unable to do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

should be able to play in spaces that develop their ways of seeing, their
confidence and articulation of self.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Just by seeing this space and engaging with these fantasies, fantasies
derived from their own cultural and historical context, therefore [unlike with
Disney], the children will and can believe in themselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The sculptural playground space is designed
to facilitate this self-learning. It will be a space that allows the child to
be a child, and to believe and act on this; giving them the room for a
far-reaching experience in traditional play without the beeps, buzzers and ring
tones of contemporary life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
traditional ‘plastic’ playgrounds are not designed to stimulate the
imagination.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rather they seek to confine
the child within existing social and cultural norms.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

state; private sector and community that will build on existing synergies in a
cooperative effort. In the initial phase it seeks to use communal and corporate
financial resources to develop, construct and install the prototype. This
request seeks to access funds for the first phase of this project, to develop
the prototype and a presentation to access capital for the installation of this
initial project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This project will then
provide the incubator for similar projects or similar production of play items
in other spaces locally, regionally or elsewhere in the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

will be made to actualize and create an urban design company that will market
designer play-items specific for urban, rural and private spaces, locally,
regionally and internationally. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Meticulous hands have carved this ancient space, of warm soft earth, red bricks, mothers' milk drawn deep from the wells of divinity. The space seems spiritual in all of its meaning of wealth and poverty. I have gazed into the sun, walked the path of the ages, leapt into the insecurity of modernity, all this swells up in this mega city. Neo-liberalism is here, but the City of Angels, holds him in her arms, cradling him, in some sense acknowledging him and the knife that he wields. Bangkok seems to have embraced neo-liberalism with a seamlessness that blends into some kind of sweet soup that you can get at the entrance of the subway, where tradition is served daily. Neo-Liberalism is here, but he is no commander, as the people have a living history, a now that reaches into the past; all are the same, meeting here at the edge of the land, warm in their hands.<br />
<br />
The city's development is large, complicated, intense which is maybe one of the reasons why people sit <span style="background-color: white;">at their steps</span>, on the way to and from work, for breakfast, lunch, dinner; quickly shifting spaces set up for people to sit and eat. Communal spaces, hold them together, hold an old historical socio-economic system together. Here on the street I see how a people hold neo-liberalism at bay. So when I asked a friend, as we walked through the shiny high-end Siam Paragon Mall, how would you identify a wealthy young woman here. She mentioned if you can eat here (at this mall) you have some money. The mall is the border of wealth, outside there is a mother, living, suckling her child while a daughter sips green tea or eats sticky rice, all tongues have tasted this is national pride.<br />
<br />
A young man on the subway, leaned over to me and asked to take a picture. My hair interested him so much that he wanted to take a photo… I constantly felt eyes on me, I never felt those eyes to be malicious though, although those eyes, may be filled with remnants of colourism brought down through their own distinct history and tradition.<br />
<br />
Here I am at the centre where many tongues come to lap at the Chao Phraya River, partake in a meal, partake in its vulnerabilities. There is a darkness that lies in the city, at the centre there is pain, an activist friend tells us that they are dealing with it and shares with us a book of stories by women who have survived human trafficking. Later on in Hua Lamphong I look at one woman's face as she directs us towards the subway. It is hard here, I am seeing it in her face, I see it in her eyes.<br />
<br />
Take you shoes off, cover your shoulders, sit at the side street cafe and have a meal, there is so much that comes at you, you need to really consider what you are seeing, as there is a cultural thing going on here that has nothing to do with me. But I do feel compelled to be part of it as I feel a divinity to this space. But deep in me, I know that I don't belong…<br />
<br />
This is Bangkok, she allowed me a moment to lean against her walls, suck at her breast, listen to her heartbeat. As milk swirls within my mouth. I allow the taste to settle, like a seasoned wine taster, trying to sense taste. Bangkok, is bright reds, with a fruity taste, with an after burn that holds you in your stride. A subtle, subtle burn that can seriously affect the mind and the body if one over does. It means that with all that calm inviting charm, there is an old monarchy of tradition, which means, be aware. <br />
