Oana Stănescu has a lecture with the university of Syracuse I think? It’s about covers/appropriating in fashion, architecture, & music. That got me to think about the topic in a fashion sense
Rei Kawakubo at Comme De Garçons really contrasts Virgil in some ways. The value placed on always making something new, completely original, not research based. Maybe that’s just not the time we live in anymore? Living in the US, I also wonder about how the rest of the world views appropriation.
I completely understand and appreciate what you're saying here. I can think of a million examples off the top of my head. Children's television is recycled Vaudeville
So much food for thought here. In the recent years we've mostly been talking about appropriation with the word "cultural" before it and in a very pejorative way (rightly so), but I love how you open it up to our relationship with nature here, how everything is already created and it is the basis for everything we do.
Also love how you open the reflection on who's allowed to appropriate and who values it. I can only think of Eastern cultures where reproduction is valued and key to certain art forms (the Tibetan monks' mandala making traditions for example).
Hey Yumna, thanks for sharing this!
