Today's blog post: Pandemic music was not always about remembrance. Sometimes it was about distraction: parody songs, TikTok dances, sea shanties, Boccaccio, and the long, liminal hours in the shade of crisis. Plus a Kermit the Frog reference.

Norman Rockwell’s granddaughter, Daisy, vehemently denies that his iconic, nostalgic art supports conservatism or segregation. Recent DHS posts used his work to promote a divisive vision of America, which Daisy argues misrepresents his anti-segregationist stance. The family publicly rebuked DHS, emphasizing Rockwell’s commitment to equality and fighting prejudice. This controversy highlights how political groups repurpose art to serve their narratives, even when the artist’s own views stood against such misuse. Want to see how the family responds to this distortion? https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/norman-rockwell-antifa-department-of-homeland-security-1234768466 #NormanRockwell #ArtAndPolitics #History #RacialJustice #MisuseOfArt #DHS #CulturalMemory

A Name Too Many: When Ego Tries to Rebrand History
When a sitting president flirts with renaming the Kennedy Center, the issue is not branding or humor. It is a revealing glimpse into ego, insecurity, and a dangerous urge to overwrite history itself.https://jtwb7689.wordpress.com/2025/12/26/kennedy-cntr-renaming/

Experimenting with pattern layout. A new work about #culturalmemory.
It's made from 84 individual #origami #cyanotype images ( #metamorphogram ).
Combined they make new patterns and represent ideas of shared #memory, particularly of #Portuguese blue tiles ( #azulejos ).
Also, the connections they make show that shared memories are the building blocks of families, communities and cultures.

An example of how institutionally-curated memories can create a perfect, yet completely fake, cultural identity for an entire nation.
Really thought-provoking.

Making a sort of cyanotype that equates to memory let me treat each image as an individual.
I've used these ones (which were origami cranes) to explore how we can share our individual memories to create social and cultural structures.
Through shared experience, shared memory, we connect with others.
We can influence these shared memories.
They in turn influence our personal memories.
'Sociobiographic memory' perhaps.

Hip Hop Samples Jazz: Dynamics of Cultural Memo y and Musical Tradition in the African American 1990s
The critical attempt to historicize hip hop dates at least to David Toop’s 1984 "Rap Attack: African Griots to New York Jive", a book written with journalistic immediacy and yet, as its subtitle suggests, one that situates rap reportage in the black musical "longue durée" but it wasn’t until the mid- 1990s that efforts toward an academic hip hop scholarship began in earnest, and it was then that ideas about the music’s methods and meanings as rooted in the black musical past became common currency. This view wasn’t surprising: a neat and untroubled line could be traced from the classic African American toasts to rap, and the use of digital sampling, whereby hip hop producers constructed their work from (black) music’s recorded back catalog, was equally suggestive for historically minded observers. This sampling practice, and its “historical” interpretation, form the central subject of this article.
Certainly, hip hop’s early scholars differed in their reasoning as to what the form’s use of old records meant for black music and history. Some positioned the practice as part of a linear, cultural-national tradition, sometimes shaded with essentialism. William Eric Perkins claimed, with totalizing confidence, that “sampling was and is hip hop’s ongoing link with history and tradition, including all of the African and African American musical genres.” a more modulated Kyra D. Gaunt contended that hip hop’s sampling was “the perfect medium for expressing the temporal culture-scape of who we are, and how we became, across time.”https://doi.org/10.5406/americanmusic.29.3.0277
