They are a memorialisation. They are acts of political symbolism meant to shore up a narrative about what this country is.’⠀ ⠀ Writer and broadcaster @afuahirsch speaks on the role that statues play in the telling of our collective history, in response to the toppling of the statue of slave owner Edward Colston in Bristol by Black Lives Matter protesters on Sunday 7 June 2020. ⠀ ⠀ Afua rebuts the idea that toppling statues serves to erase history, and explains the fragility of a nation who cannot engage fully with their own past. Not only is her work in resurfacing the parts of colonial history that have been excluded from popular narrative, but as she explains, statues are not 'history' but memorialisations that are politically expedient, which warrant review.⠀ ⠀ Watch in full via SHOWstudio.com」6月27日 8時46分
