Context #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianSenayBoztas "British artist Thomas J Price, Moments Contained - not a man who did something, a naked white sylph or someone's colonial hero but an ordinary-looking black woman. Three weeks after being unveiled, the bronze artwork is part of the school's curriculum on the Netherlands' history of colonialism and slavery. 'It's nice to see something other than a white man in a suit,' said Maada. 'I've never seen a bronze woman with normal clothes. It's nice to recognise something and it's good to put it in this place where everyone can see it.' Even before Moments Contained was unveiled, it provoked a storm in this port city where 55% of the population has migrant origins. Some opinions were far from welcoming. Microbiologist Rosanne Hertzberger in the NRC daily newspaper called it boring, tokenistic and insincere. 'Who knows, maybe this woman is a hero,' she wrote. 'Or maybe she's a bitch ... It doesn't matter. The group she belonged to was marginalised and now she is being overcompensated.' But at the station the reaction is quite different. Even more than Rotterdam's infamous Santa Claus statue - 'leprechaun buttplug', in common parlance - it is an attraction. A walking tour inspired by anti-slavery writer Anton de Kom starts at Moments Contained. A businessman pauses, takes a selfie. Tourists circle, making videos, and a young white man leans casually on the clenched fist in the woman's pocket." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/25/its-every-woman-its-us-rotterdam-falls-for-british-statue-of-ordinary-black-woman #IRLArtistThomasPrice #2023_MomentsContained https://www.sculptureinternationalrotterdam.nl/en/collection/moments-contained/ #PhenomnArtsSculptureBronze https://www.kunstgiesserei.ch/tags/artist/1099 #PowerControlChattelSlavery #NewspaperNLTabloidNRCHandelsbladRosanneHertzberger [Wikipedia] #TauntTokenism #TauntWokeInsincerity #IRLArtistPaulMcCarthy #2001_SantaClausCKALeprechaunButtplug [Wikipedia] #PhenomnSexualityAdultSexToysButtPlug #ToponymEuropeNetherlandsRotterdamEendrachtsplein [Wikipedia] #IRLHistoricalFigureAntonDeKom [Wikipedia] #PhenomnColonialism

@HeidiMoffatt [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : Ik ga er vanuit dat de #LGBTIQ gemeenschap laaiend is door dat beeld in Rotterdam.
Iedereen gaat er vanuit dat het een zwarte vrouw is. Maar hoe ziet #woke dat dit een vrouw is? Het kan werkelijk van alles zijn.
Hoeveel mensen worden er gekwetst?

"I assume the LGBTIQ community is furious about that image in Rotterdam. Everyone assumes it is a Black woman. But how does woke see that this is a woman? It could really be anything. How many people are hurt? Didn't think that through."
