O predstavi
»Občutek manjvrednosti? Ne, občutek neobstoja. Greh je črn, saj je krepost bela.«
(Frantz Fanon: Črna koža, bele maske)
Medtem ko želimo rasizem pripisati zgodovini in ga tam tudi odložiti, so svet ponovno pretresle novice, ki kažejo, da rasizem še kako vztraja in da je problematika še kako pereča. Po usmrtitvi Georgea Floyda v ZDA, ki je prebudila množice in spodbudila proteste gibanja BLM, se je izkazalo dvoje: da v 21. stoletju sistemski rasizem še kako obstaja in da to, da se pretvarjamo, da ne obstaja, kvečjemu kaže na našo ignoranco, zmožnost odrinjanja in nezmožnost soočenja z večno aktualno problematiko. Po eni strani se mi zdi smešno, da se v 21. stoletju spet na novo pričenjamo pogovarjati o tej problematiki, po drugi strani me straši, da to pri nas sploh še ni tema.
Pri nas rasizma ni. To se dogaja nekje drugje, daleč v Ameriki. Ali pač?

About the performance
“A feeling of inferiority? No, a feeling of not existing. Sin is black as virtue is white.”
(Frantz Fanon: Black Skin, White Masks)
While we want to attribute racism to history and leave it there, the world has once again been shaken by events that show that racism is still very much alive and that is remains a burning issue. The killing of George Floyd in the United States, which stirred up the masses and sparked the protests of the BLM movement, proved two things: that in the 21st century, systemic racism most certainly exists, and that the fact that we’re pretending otherwise only shows our ignorance, our ability to brush aside, and our inability to face the ever recurring problem. On the one hand, I find it funny that we are once again starting to talk about this issue in the 21st century, and on the other hand, it scares me that in Slovenia, it has yet to become a topic at all.
There is no racism in our country. It's happening somewhere else, far away in America. Or is it?
