Beauty of Beginnings - May 3rd - I stand for humanity
|
I stand for humanity What does this mean? I was listening to a reporter speak about Kerala State in India, where a mosque, a church, and a temple are side by side on the same street. The people of Kerala cherish religious harmony despite the Modi government’s ardent attempt to stir hate. Religious diversity and harmony are possible. I was thinking about the students protesting genocide and settler colonisation. The wearing of certain items of clothing signifies the side you stand for. What is the signifier of standing for humanity? What do we wear that says we stand for humanity and refuse to get caught in the conversation of being conquered by being divided? And what does standing for humanity mean? All people are treated in a dignified way. Equal opportunity is available to all humans. We do not exploit, extract or colonise others. We hold that each life is unique and sacred and given an ecosystem that supports every life, individual expression and gorgeous creativity will serve all. Life is sacred. Beauty, love, respect, kindness, care, compassion, and autonomy are the operating codes behind everything created. Violence, hate, exploitation and cruelty towards others, Earth and our creatures will not be tolerated. If there is an anti-anything in standing for humanity – it is anti-violence. Anti-vergeance. Anti-dehumanising. That is the scarf or hat I wear. The one that says your right to exist with dignity is afforded to everyone. Your right to freedom does not come at the expense of another’s. I stand for humanity. I stand against violence, racism of every expression, suppression, oppression and erasure.

Great art is provocation There is a furore over a portrait of Australia’s richest woman, Gina Reinhardt, in the National Gallery of Australia, one of many images of the power brokers of the global stage painted by Indigenous artist Vincent Namatjira. Apparently, Gina doesn’t like the painting and would like it removed. The artist has asked people to consider why he paints pictures of the people he paints. It is a question worth pondering. Meanwhile, Swimming Australia, sponsored by the...
