Happy birthday to David Wojnarowicz, groundbreaking artist, writer & activist, who raged raged raged against inequity and injustice at every turn. If he hadn’t died of AIDS, like so many leading lights of his generation, he would have been 72 years old today (thread)

A reminder that already in the 1980s artist & activist David Wojnarowicz was modeling the kind of fuck-you energy we're going to need in the coming years. He had no illusions the government was there to protect him, the people he loved & his community, and neither should we

As a follow-up to my earlier David Wojnarowicz post, here's something to keep in mind in coming years: a statement from Wojnarowicz—relayed by artist Zoe Leonard—about the importance of embracing beauty in difficult times (via @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social's "Orwell's Roses" bsky.app/profile/rebe...)
The tension exists even in nonnarrative art. The artist Zoe Leonard was bashful about making beautiful images during the AIDS crisis and said so to fellow artist and activist David Wojnarowicz, who replied, "Zoe, these are so beautiful, and that's what we're fighting for. We're being angry and complaining because we have to, but where we want to go is back to beauty. If you let go of that, we don't have anywhere to go." So beauty can be both what one does not wish to change and where one wishes to go, the compass or rather north star for change. Leonard reflects on their interchange: "You know, we were all just too busy for beauty. We were too angry for beauty. We were too heartbroken for beauty. I felt like an asshole with these picture of clouds, but David was right. You go through all of the fighting not because you want to fight, but because you want to get somewhere as a people. You want to help create a world where you can sit around and think about clouds. That should be our right as human beings." You could argue that if we go too long without sitting around and thinking about clouds we might forget how to do so or why, that we could so shrivel en route we'd be unable to reach that destination.
