i just realized, Joy reaches her hand out after she goes into the bagel. Evelyn doesn’t reach back in for her, Joy reaches back out to her mom

Evelyn supported Joy but Joy saved herself just as much

Freelands Award 2022 announced:

Artist Everlyn Nicodemus and the National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh have won the seventh annual Freelands Award!

The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art will present Nicodemus’ first UK museum show from September 2024 to May 2025 in Edinburgh, where the artist has been based for fifteen years. Since the 1980s, Nicodemus has made cycles of paintings, collages and works on paper that explore violence against women, personal trauma and the isolation and dehumanisation of living within structural racism. Over the next two years, she will create a new series of large-scale oil paintings at her studio to be exhibited alongside historic works.

Everlyn Nicodemus (b. 1954, Kilimanjaro, Tanzania) is an artist, writer and curator who lives and works in Edinburgh. Her experience of racism and cultural trauma has prompted the creation of a unique body of work encompassing paintings, textiles, poetry, collaged 'books' and mixed-media assemblages. Having lived and worked across Europe, she has taken an active involvement in community life, making visible the shared traumas and oppression of women. Her scholarship on African modern art and trauma studies has also informed her practice.

I like Everything Everywhere All At Once, but the way the movie tries to approach its more uplifting themes and the way its fans discuss them is a pretty good example of a major flaw in how a lot of people irl do uplifting messaging

A lot of attempts to make messages intended to give people hope just kinda quietly ignore or fail to properly examine the material conditions that lead to those people being so miserable in the first place, and EEAAO isn't much different

Jobu Tupaki is always suffering all the time, experiencing infinite deaths and infinite fates worse than death, and she's effectively stuck in a state of existence where she has no free will as she has and will continue to experience every possible choice she will ever make at the same time

The movie responds to her outlook on life, but really doesn't consider the broader implications of what it'd actually be like to be a being like Jobu Tupaki, and if they did try, the movie's core message would likely fally apart in the face of its own premise

Born in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania in 1954, Nicodemus’ life has been marked by movement: herself part of a moving diaspora which she documents in her writing and art making. Moving across Europe – to Sweden, France and Belgium before finally settling in the U.K. – her experience of racism and cultural trauma has prompted the creation of a unique body of work encompassing paintings, collaged ‘books’ and mixed-media assemblages as well as poems, using unusual materials to explore human experience, from metal nettings and sisal to textiles and found objects.

Nicodemus lives and works in Edinburgh.

EVERLYN

A female family member of mine got married to a man in the middle of the COVID pandemic. So I watched the heterosexual coupling via Zoom. She wore a white dress with a long flowing train and a veil that hid her face; a spectacle of patriarchal heteronormativity. After the vows were said, and just before kissing the bride, her husband turned to the camera and announced with glee, “This is the first time we will be kissing!” They had been dating for three years.

In that moment, I saw the future and person my family had envisioned and engineered for me. One that I had escaped by coming out. The box and script that I was supposed to fit into and follow was made visible in the person of my relative and I mourned for her – wishing that this was what she genuinely wanted and had chosen and not the script that she was unconsciously following in order to win the approval of her parents and her community. But I’ve also known her since birth and I mourned because I knew different.

I’d escaped the same fate by coming out at 19. My rebellion had begun long before that in small ways, easily dismissed by family and community as eccentricisms that would be corrected once I followed the “plan.” But coming out as a lesbian sealed the deal for my family – as it was THE scarlet letter that could never be erased from my forehead. For me, however, it was a joyfully revelatory catalyst that embedded in me the surety that I could eschew scripts, jump from boxes, carve a life without templates of heterosexism, gender conformity, and sexual confinement – a knowledge that I had the freedom to choose something other than the life that had been set out by society and family.

My brother reacted by saying, “I feel as if you’re getting away with something. I just don’t know what.” I didn’t either – not then. But now I do. Somewhere deep inside, without having the words for it, I knew that what I wanted as a child–to be a Renaissance Woman who felt free to pursue a life of intellectual, physical, and creative freedom–was impossible under the regime of heteronormativity and female sexual subjugation that I saw all around me. And so many years later, having come out publicly at age 19, I look back and can honestly say that I am that Renaissance Woman I envisioned myself to be when I was seven.

Stayin’ up late, playin’ our song

For a young John Dutton

Tagging: @kmc1989 @noxytopy @foxfables @solar-raccoon @toheavenwmydrms 

Companion piece to:

The One That Got Away - In light of Lee's recent wedding, John reflects on the one that got away.

After the kids are put to bed John pours himself a glass of whiskey. He puts Willy Nelson on the record player, unfastening the top two buttons of his shirt as he sits down in the leather Chesterfield in front of the fire. He closes his eyes as the music starts and the opening bars of If My World Didn’t Have You begin to play.

It takes him back to that night, the one of the barn dance when he held you in his arms, cradled you close and promised you that he’d never let you go. He’d made love to you for the first time that evening, in the summerhouse your daddy built for your mama when the two of them had first gotten hitched.

“I’m going to marry you Lou.” He’d whispered as he lay tangled up in you, his hands threading through your hair. “I’m going to spend the rest of my life, making you as happy as you make me.”

It’s a week later his father tells him he’s going to marry Evelyn Shaw. He tries to protest, to fight it but it all comes down to numbers. Evelyn comes with over 100,000 acres and a whole stable of championship horses and Yellowstone needs the cash injection.

He doesn’t even get to tell you himself because by morning the news has spread around town like a wildfire.

“I guess you were through with me after you got what you wanted.” You say as you brush down your horse with a ferocity that frightens him. “I should have known men like you don’t marry girls like me.”

“Lou, it’s not like that…”

But it is. That’s exactly what it’s like.

You don’t speak to him after that, he sees you around town but you won’t so much as look in his direction. You were the love of his life and now he’s absolutely nothing to you.

The day before he gets married you leave town, hit the rodeo circuit. He keeps track of your career from titbits of gossip he picks up in the local diner.

It’s when your father dies a few years later that you finally return to Bozeman. Your brothers, they’re rodeo kings through and through, they don’t understand the nuances of running a farm, not like you do.

It’s after the funeral that he finds you in the summerhouse, smoking a joint. The smoke plumes from between your lips as you look at him standing there in the doorway. You don’t say anything and neither does he, instead you raise to your feet, snub out the blunt and unzip your dress. It falls into a pool around your ankles and John, he’s just a man, one so fiercely in love with you it hurts.

He fucks you on the couch, the springs creaking as your nails rake down his back. There’s an exhilaration in the pain, a release that comes with it because he deserves this, the punishing pace you set, the bite marks you leave on his flesh. He wants to wear your hurt on his skin, to experience it with you.

When you come you take him with you, his release spilling deep as you wring every last ounce of ecstasy from his body. He’s still trying to catch his breath when you pull away, you slip back into that dress, guiding the straps up your arms before you step out of the door, closing it quietly behind you.

That had been five days ago and he can still feel the sting of your scratch marks everytime he climbs into the shower.

“I still love you.” He had whispered at the height of climax and you’d only fucked him harder.

The song ends and he opens his eyes to find his wife standing before him in nothing but a silk robe. The numbness starts to creep in, the same way it does when he’s with Everlyn and he takes a sip of whiskey before he shakes his head.

“Not tonight.” He tells her, thinking about the marks you’ve left upon his skin. “I can’t do this with you tonight.”
