Representing Black Power: Handling A "Revolution" In The Age Of Mass Media, Craig Peariso

Craig J. Peariso

After attending a Black Panther Party press conference in 1967, a reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle wrote, “If a Hollywood director were to choose them as stars of a movie melodrama of revolution, he would be accused of typecasting” (quoted in Moore 1971: 257). While this reporter quickly backed away from suggesting that there was anything suspicious about the Panthers’ media-friendly tactics—saying that party founders Bobby Seale and Huey Newton “are not actors and this is not Hollywood”—others were not so politic. Drama critic Robert Brustein, for example, wrote that the party’s press conferences and photo-ops suggest that their …

Square2 (Screening), Kate Walker

Kate Walker

HooP (2010) is a work by video artist Kate Walker, made in collaboration with the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered) community in Nelson. It documents a public event staged by the artist, where members of this community participated in a mass hula hooping event. This followed weeks of practice, and the formation of a diverse and inter-generational group of keen participants.

Swaying hips, circular rhythms and shuffling feet resound in the film. Moments of pathos, seriousness and vulnerability are inevitably punctured by the innate humour of the mass hula event. Both the euphoria of collective action, and more personal …
