The Incomparable bell hooks Trailblazing author, poet, feminist, cultural critic and professor bell hooks preferring to spell her name with no capital letters as a way of de-emphasizing her individual identity, was born Gloria Jean Watkins as the fourth of seven children in Hopkinsville, Ky. Her pen name was a tribute to her maternal great-grandmother, Bell Blair Hooks. The author of more than three dozen wide-ranging books, hooks published her first title, the poetry collection And There We Wept, in 1978. Her influential book Ain't I a Woman: Black Women and Feminism followed in 1981. Three years later, her Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center explored and criticized the feminist movement's propensity to center and privilege white women's experiences. Frequently, hooks' work addressed the deep intersections of race, gender, class, sexuality and geographic place. She wrote about her native Appalachia and growing up there as a Black girl in the critical-essay collection Belonging: A Culture of Place and in the poetry collection Appalachian Elegy: Poetry and Place. - via Anastasia Tsioulcas, NPR CARTER™️ Magazine carter-mag.com #wherehistoryandhiphopmeet #historyandhiphop365 #cartermagazine #carter #bellhooks #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #history #staywoke https://www.instagram.com/p/CmOcWH0ulxX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

UN-LEARNING IS ONE OF THE FIRST STEPS TOWARD HEALING “Learning to wear a mask is the first lesson in patriarchal masculinity a boy learns. He learns that his core feelings cannot be expressed if they do not conform to the acceptable behaviors sexism defines as male. Asked to give up the true self in order to realize the patriarchal ideal, boys learn self-betrayal early and are rewarded for these acts of soul murder.“ - bell hooks, The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love Shirt rocked by @igiveyoumoore #notetoself #blackmen #blackmentalhealth #unlearn #bellhooks #healing #blackmasculinity https://www.instagram.com/p/CqgRMIhJyUn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Arte Postal em homenagem a bell hooks

[atualização] O livro digital está disponível para visualização na plataforma ISSUU e o acesso ao arquivo em pdf pode ser feito aqui.

“Escolha amar e mova-se em direção à liberdade”

A colagem sempre foi uma das técnicas mais utilizadas nos trabalhos de Arte Postal. Com o desejo de incentivar esta prática, a artista visual Marcia Rosenberger convida a todes a participarem da convocatória em homenagem a bell hooks.

Recentemente falecida, bell hooks (escrito sem maiúsculas) é o pseudônimo da autora, ativista e professora Gloria Gean Watkins, mais conhecida por seus escritos sobre raça, feminismo, sexualidade, amor e comunidade, com o intuito de criar um mundo mais justo e equitativo.

Nos anos 60 e 70, a Arte Postal foi muito difundida entre artistas que, ao enviar seus trabalhos pelos correios, buscavam um meio de difundir sua produção, criando redes de conexão internacionais e como forma de protesto aos regimes políticos da época.

O Dia Mundial da Colagem foi criado pela revista canadense pela Kolaj Magazine em 2018, no segundo sábado de maio, quando convidaram artistas e espaços para realizar eventos nesse dia e celebrar a colagem.

Em comemoração ao Dia Mundial da Colagem 2022, a artista Marcia Rosenberger lança a convocatória aos artistas a enviarem colagens no formato postal (10x15cm/4"x6"), enviadas fisicamente e digitalmente, com o tema “Escolha amar e mova-se em direção à liberdade”, inspirado nos textos de bell hooks. A data limite para recebimento dos trabalhos é até o dia 04 de maio de 2022.

Os postais deverão ser enviados pelos correios, digitalizados e enviados em alta resolução para compor o livro digital Arte Postal no século XXI que será publicado pelo selo editorial da artista Loreley Books e disponibilizado gratuitamente.

A convocatória é pública e gratuita, aberta a artistas e entusiastas da colagem e receberá todos os trabalhos sem seleção ou distinção.

Ao enviar a arte postal, o participante está ciente de que a editora terá plenos direitos sobre a imagem para reprodução, divulgação, exposição, etc., sempre referenciando e respeitando a autoria. Não há taxa de inscrição e os trabalhos recebidos não serão devolvidos e farão parte do acervo da editora que promoverá uma exposição presencial em local e data a ser anunciados. Obras com caráter ofensivo e preconceituoso não serão aceitas.

Arquivos fora dos critérios e com informação incompleta serão descartados da publicação. Qualquer dúvida entre em contato pelo e-mail [email protected].

Ao enviar seu postal digitalizado por e-mail, o participante receberá um presente da artista: páginas de recorte para usar nas suas próximas colagens.

Seja parte desta importante comemoração!

Veja a matéria publicada na revista canadense Kolaj Magazine aqui.

Reposted from @blackwomenradicals Happy 71st Birthday, bell hooks (September 25, 1952 – December 15, 2021)🎈🕊️

Reposted from @nmaahc #Author, #feminist, #critic, #activist and #scholar bell hooks was born #OnThisDay [September 25] in 1952.

Born Gloria Jean Watkins to working-class parents in 1952, hooks grew up in the segregated city of Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Her interest in poetry began at a young age as she recited the likes of Gwendolyn Brooks, Langston Hughes and Elizabeth Barrett Browning for her church community.

hooks received her bachelor’s degree from Stanford University and was only 19 when she began working on the draft for her first book, “Ain’t I a Woman: Black Women and Feminism.”

She would eventually publish more than 40 books and receive the National Book Award for Fiction and the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. In her book, “Remembered Rapture: The Writer at Work,” hooks writes, “Writing is my passion. It is a way to experience the ecstatic. The root understanding of the word ecstasy— 'to stand outside'—comes to me in those moments when I am immersed so deeply in the act of thinking and writing that everything else, even flesh, falls away.” Her most notable works, including, “Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom” and “All About Love: New Visions”, influenced generations of feminists, educators and artists to approach their work with love and purposefulness.

Her published works were diverse and ranged from scholarly books to films to children’s books and more. hooks, who passed away in 2021 is remembered as a force in feminist theory and in cultural criticism and continues to inspire a multitude of Black and women writers.
