Representation or lack of...



This video reminds me of my little brother, Cyrus, who was shot while he was drunk by a distressed young guy. This video says a lot and represents the need of representation. A kinda of call out of dis-order using an overtone of unity. I'l like to meet these guys and ask them a few questions.

This fill neat in that they use graffiti. I took a work shop in Pawnee on graffiti and learned that its a form of communication and can be positive. I think a lot of people including me have stereotypes. There's a message for sure and its a form of art. The words they use is opposite from the one above.



This lead me to this video. It's a cry of distress. I kinda know what its like to grow up on the rez but more importantly a border town. The feeling of having to be "reserved" meaning extremity in a bi-polar mindset, black or white, there's almost no middle ground.
