Swedish artist, Kakode Linde
I promised levity (see last post). Can't deliver it yet. I just can't "shake" that "shock art" cake Happening in Sweden!
Sometimes the public can become so bogged down with concepts of racism that it can miss the entire point in creating controversy.
There is an old proverb that goes: When the axe came into the Forest, the trees said "The handle is one of us"
My question is: What would the public response have been if the cake was cut, more appropriately, by an African woman as opposed to the Swedish female participant in the event?
I ask you... as a former art gallery owner and artist, myself ...what one earth does African Female genital mulitation have to do with Scandinavia?
Have a great day!
