"There is Darkness Everywhere" 75 Years Ago, Today - (Friday) January 30th, 1948, New Delhi, India: Sadly, in the study of world history, it seems there is this bizarre blank spot that occurs from the day after the Japanese surrender was signed in September, 1945 up until the start of the Korean War in July 1950. The intervening years seem to vanish into a black hole, almost like they never happened (although, regrettably, one could make the argument that the dates between man's wars are just white space as barrel towards another conflict) The years 1946 through 1947 marked an incredible time in world history as the vacuum of World War 2 was hurriedly filled in one of the most rapid changes in sociopolitical history. And in the middle of it, was this man - Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, who took his native India from British Colony to an independent nation by 1947. These post-war years marked the end of the world's traditional empires, not the least of which was the British. As I mentioned, the years following WW2 were a time of great upheaval, and sadly, not all of it was good. And 75 Years Ago Today, Gandhi was assassinated by a political dissident. He was 78 years old. The quote from above comes from a fragment of Gandhi's friend and successor, Jawaharlal Nehru, in his radio broadcast to the nation, announcing Gandhi's death. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 🇺🇲🇺🇲 ** Please Like & Follow "Sandy Hook History" on Facebook & Instagram for more amazing maritime and military histories of the Garden State and New York Harbor as well as a review of the 80th Anniversary of the Battle Of The Atlantic and World War 2** 🇺🇲🇺🇲 Photos: PubDom #visitmonmouth #newjerseybuzz #thejournalnj #locallivingnj #journeythroughjersey #onlyinnewjersey #njspots #centraljerseyexists #discovernj #yesnj #newjerseyhistory #newjerseyforyou #sandyhookbeach #sandyhooknj #sandyhookhistory #forthancockhistory #forthancock #gandhi #mahatmagandhi #onthisday #postwar #postwarhistory #75thanniversary #lordmountbatten #greatchange #anewera https://www.instagram.com/p/CoEBIILNdrI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#シアターコモンズ #森村泰昌 #あごうさとし #レクチャーパフォーマンス 今月初めはシアターコモンズトーキョー18の森村泰昌さん「芸術家Mの『にっぽん、チャチャチャ！』」を鑑賞。アメリカを男性に、日本を女性に例え、三島由紀夫の男性性とマリリンモンローの女性性を演じる。西洋画の人物のコスプレ最高！！！ 日本の戦後史、美術史という社会としての捻れ体験、そして森村さんという個体が経験した社会の捻れの体験。その三点を再現するには、映像のストーリーと、圧倒的なパフォーマンスが必要だった。私たちって本当に不可解な世界に生きている。そんな歴史の上に成り立ってしまっている。声は森村さんの声と俳優さんの声を機械で変えてて、周到だった！！ Yasumasa Morimura has produced his Self-Portrait series which he has posed n modelled on western painting n historical figures since 1985. And this time he made his lecture performance, performing art by his own n his film which he casted a question of social n historical distortions n messed the notion of the facts n fictions, masculinity n femininity, conqueror n the conquered, in the postwar Japan. #TheaterCommons #TheaterCommonsTokyo #YasumasaMorimura #NipponChaChaCha #PostwarHistory #HistoryofArt #PersonalHistory #Portrait #SelfPortrait (at みなとパーク芝浦)
