Cultural appropriation

Koen van Geel

When you take something from a culture you don’t belong to. And use it outside of the cultural context.
Usually without knowing its cultural significants. Or change its original meaning.

Here are some photos from IN//APPROPRIATE, a show of visual and audio media on display during July of 2015 at the Littman Gallery at PSU in Portland. The show incorporates digital collages and wearable “Whiteness Goggles” that make the colonial/military/police violence that underpin white supremacy disappear. It also includes a reappropriation of the gallery space by indigenous artists Sara Siestreem and Camas Logue, who are using it for drying basketry materials for fall workshops. Voicemails from Portland residents expressing their opinions on the subject play on two media players. The show is up until the 29th! The show website is http://inappropriateculture.tumblr.com/, where you can see all of the banner images and listen to all of the voicemails.
