here's a website for your workday viewing pleasure:
http://www.icollectgingers.com/
this is a project by Anthea Pokroy, an South American based ginger artisit (her words-but I like them). Here's her description of the project: I collect gingers is a project about identity, prejudice and racial classification, segregation and elitism which explores my own personal histories of being Jewish and South African. This artwork will be manifested by collecting gingers (or red heads) through archiving and documenting them individually and in groups. This will be presented as a multimedia exhibition which will include photography, video, installation and performance.
my favorite part is the manifesto of gingers..
"We strive for a ginger utopia. A world where red headed people, not only are not ridiculed and ostracised, but where our tonal superiority is envied and celebrated. Our status and privilege will be great and abundant."
so ridiculous and great. also, the photos are stunning. this is a project I'd love to be a part of. plus, I love the all the self-love apparent throughout this project. bravo Anthea Pokroy
