Woke up this morning to the news that Peter Handke has won the Nobel prize in literature this year 🤯🤬🤯 Shame on you @nobelprize_org for rewarding an apologist of war crimes who has publicly denied the Srebrenica genocide and claimed that Muslims had staged their own massacres in Sarajevo during the 1,425 days of siege (the longest of a capital city in the history of modern warfare). Handke spoke at the 2006 funeral of Serbian war criminal Slobodan Milošević declaring “I don’t know the truth. But I look. I listen. I feel. I remember. This is why I am here today, close to Yugoslavia, close to Serbia, close to Slobodan Milošević.” 🤯🤬 Well, Mr. Handke the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia knows the truth and has archives full of records proving how 8,372 Muslims were systematically killed during the Srebrenica genocide. The International Commission for Missing Persons knows the truth as they have worked tirelessly since 1995 to find and identify remains that were often moved to secondary mass graves in an attempt by the perpetrators to hide their crimes. The survivors, some of whom are still waiting to find and bury their loved ones after so many years, know the truth. A gigantic #FUCKYOU to #PeterHandke and #NobelPrizeforLiterature committee. And to anyone else who ever asks me again what else am I working on besides my ongoing 15 year old project about Srebrenica genocide and whether I’ll ever move on and make something else, I say: “Sure, I’ll stop making art about genocide a soon as I wake up in a world where truth and justice don’t seem a distant hope, but are part of our reality.” #NobelPrize #SrebrenicaGenocide #StoTeNema

A friend sent this to me this morning ~ not having her daily cup of coffee as grounds for a woman to divorce her husband in 15th century Ottoman Empire. It makes total sense! Happy Monday everyone 😬 #tuskishcoffee #bosniancoffee #HappyMonday
#flashbackfriday to last week when the teens who are part of the Bronx Museum Teen Summer program had a chance to pay tribute to the legacy of The Young Lords in East Harem. Mapping Resistance: The Young Lords in El Barrio is a public art project organized by artist Miguel Luciano, featuring the photography of Hiram Maristany, official photographer of the Young Lords and a founding member of the New York chapter. The Young Lords were a revolutionary group of young Puerto Rican activists who organized for social justice in their communities during the late 1960s-1970s. They were committed to the liberation of all oppressed peoples, fighting racism and injustice with an emphasis on issues of health, food, housing and education. Inspired by the Black Panthers, they were founded in Chicago in 1968, and formed a New York chapter in East Harlem in 1969. . #Bronx #teens #BronxMuseum #TeenSummer #EastHarlem #YoungLords #MiguelLuciano #HiramMaristany #MappingResistance @miguelluciano_ny @elmuseo @bronxmuseum
