lati ri images

The Yoruba word to find is lati ri fits the series of images I’ve been uncovering over the past few days. In 1993 a friend gave me a box of discarded 35mm slides that he said he found in a drum near the steps of our National Assembly in Belmopan. 

It happens to be 20 years later that I finally opened the box and started to re discover its contents. With time, heat, humidity and fungus making adjustments to the “original” state of the images I carefully scan each one waiting for them to pop up on the computer screen like illuminated manuscripts..

So this series of images I call lati ri thinking about three Yoruba artists – Wole Soyinka (writer), Sade (singer) and Fela Kuti (musician).  Finding things is essential to all art. It is very poetic to open a box that you hid from yourself 20 years ago. It feels as if something is being re-conquered.

we artists and cultural fighters must realize that the fight is just beginning. we must be a counter weight to the indifference of the state. the state of power, the state of ignorance, the state of mind…
today we see such clear evidence that the sterile bureaucratic systems inherited and perpetuated are not yet ready for the 2nd  decade of the 21st  [XXI] century.
 we must radically shift our attitudes toward cultural work.
 if you ask me what am i doing???
i tell you =  the silence is over.

KAGE

In the afternoon
My fingers celebrate the Wild Grass of Lu Hsun
No worries say Lil Wayne
Bitten nails grasp a bottle
hurricane zone’s
daily discovery

In the afternoon
Light allows me to think
About the Kage
The smell of stem

On January 25, 2013 artist Yasser Musa called for a meeting of young men at St. John's College, Belize City. The reason for the meeting was to kick of the idea called arrrtTEAM. The arteam concept is a collaboration between the artist and the youth. The arteam will involve visual and poetry arts projects as well as social education. The first meeting was attended by 24 youths. In late February a bigger forum of youths will be called to move forward.
