Culture Destruction


In response to the recent #TroyDavis moment in history I decided to make a short to invoke feelings and thought provoking symbolism. I believe in order to change anything you must first recognize the problem in which things need change, destroying what you know and have come accustom to, and begin to think for oneself in order to rebuild a better knowledge. In the short I blow my brains out, symbolizing me destroying what I know and beginning my journey in re-learning. I named this project Culture Destruction because destruction is a form of creation, a way of changing things, I want to change things in black culture and destroying the culture we are in is the only way to resurrect a better black culture, a better world period. In the short the words are an excerpt from the song "Twinkle" by Erykah Badu translated from the ancient kemetic language. The rant is also from the song "Twinkle" but originally from the movie "Network", which speaks to the movement i believe is best for changing this culture we are in. Get Mad! Get Angry! Scream Im a Human Being Damnit! My life has meaning! and so does yours... and so did Troy Davis's.
RIP Troy Davis
