Rate 0.0 /5

"In their rebellion against Western civilization, the European surrealists were contesting their own society.

Above all, those Black surrealists were all sharing the same racial memory of the slave ship. They would strive to completely eradicate this hostile society, but merely by means of art, of words, and of metaphors"--From abstract.
