postmodern ethnic identity

| May 28th, 2011

“In this thoroughly mixed-up, interdependent, mobile and volatile postmodern world clinging to a traditional notion of ethnic identity is impossible. Inasmuch as the stress on ethnicity provides a counterpoint to the most facile forms of postmodernist nomadology, however, we might have to develop a postmodern notion of ethnicity. This postmodern ethnicity can no longer be experienced as naturally based upon tradition and ancestry, on a single origin. Rather, it is experienced as a provisional and partial “identity” which must be constantly (re)invented and (re)negotiated.”
- Ien Ang.

This is a really beautiful little movie about Mitch Alfus aka the Leather King. He probably has the most amazing collection of leathers I have ever seen. Directed by Todd Selby. The beginning is so sweet… Enjoy!

Berlin is a strange place, my visit was too short to say if I liked it or not. I have to go back for sure.

Just stumbled upon this documentary of Jean-Michel Basquiat.
He looks so happy and nonchalant.
