Uitnodiging/ Invitation
The installation ”Love as Resistance” by Berlin-based artist Linda Weiss will be on display at Kunstruimte411 Haarlem (Amsterdam). Starting with transcripts of writings on love by the theorist bell hooks (”all about love”, ”salvation“, ”communion“), a
conceptual mix and homage to the beginnings of hip hop, and a bump into an Afro-American Wall Street professional (a remeeting during Occupy Wall Street) have been created from images and text fragments.
This is just the beginning of a journey of encountering its discourse and its power of transformation through love and music. It is also a questioning and learning about
what enables or prevents action in love. bell hooks considers the act of loving as an action and form of resistance. According to the artist La Roka aka Rokafella (Bronx New York), hip hop has given self-love back to the community and is, in her eyes, the
continuation of the civil rights movement.
