Every four minute

"EVERY FOUR MINUTES IN SOUTH AFRICA, A WOMAN OR A GIR - OFTEN TEENAGER, SOMETIMES A CHILD - IS REPORTED RAPED AND EVERY EIGHT HOURS A WOMAN IS KILLED BY HER PARTNER". The phenomenon has a name in South Africa: "intimate femicide" or as crime writer Margie Orford call the repeated killing of women across the country, "serial femicide". This violence against women should in no way be dismissed as marginal.

excerpt from Zizek's Against the Double Black Mail, p.6

IN BRAZIL, THERE ARE THREE FEMICIDES EVERY DAY.

THEIR IMAGES HAVE TO GO


"It has to do with ownership of the public space."

"We cannot teach the way we have always taught".

"Our museums were not decolonized."

"We need to reinvent the classroom. We need to reinvent the university. For the redistribution of knowledge."

"Why is that we build buildings that are in total contradiction with the abundance of light we have?  The sun which gave us most of the year. Why this kind of introverted  architecture? The way buildings are built. That in itself only speaks to the isolationist and the national chauvinistic parts this country is all about."
