Shake up your story | Raghava KK

Prevoditelj: Tilen Pigac - EFZG Recezent: Mislav Ante Omazić - EFZG

Hi everyone.

Pozdrav svima.

I'm an artist and a dad -- second time around.

Ja sam umjetnik i tata -- po drugi put.

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

And I want to share with you my latest art project.

I želim s vama podijeliti svoj zadnji umjetnički projekt.

It's a children's book for the iPad.

To je knjiga za djecu za iPad.

It's a little quirky and silly.

Pomalo je razigrana i šašava.

It's called "Pop-It,"

Zove se "Pop-It",

And it's about the things little kids do with their parents.

i radi se o stvarima koje mala djeca rade sa svojim roditeljima.

(Music)

(Glazba)

So this is about potty training --

Dakle, ovdje se radi o treniranju kahlice --

as most of you, I hope, know.

kao što većina vas, nadam se, zna.

You can tickle the rug.

Možete škakljati sag.

You can make the baby poop.

Možete djete voditi na veliku nuždu.

You can do all those fun things.

Možete raditi sve te zabavne stvari.

You can burst bubbles.

Možete pucati mjehuriće.

You can draw, as everyone should.

Možete crtati, kao što bi i svatko trebao.

But you know, I have a problem with children's books:

Ali znate, imam problem s knjigama za djecu:

I think they're full of propaganda.

mislim kako su pune propagande.

At least an Indian trying to get one of these American books in Park Slope, forget it.

Barem poput onog Indijanca koji pokušava nabaviti te američke knjige u Slope parku, zaboravite.

It's not the way I was brought up.

To nije način na koji sam odgojen.

So I said, "I'm going to counter this with my own propaganda."

Stoga sam rekao, "Boriti ću se protiv toga s vlastitom propagandom."

If you notice carefully,

Ako pažljivo primjetite,

it's a homosexual couple bringing up a child.

radi se o homoseksualnom paru koji odgaja dijete.

You don't like it?

Ne sviđa vam se?

Shake it, and you have a lesbian couple.

Protresite je, i imate par lezbijki.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Shake it, and you have a heterosexual couple.

Protresite je, i imate heteroseksualni par.

You know, I don't even believe in the concept of an ideal family.

Znate, ja čak ni ne vjerujem u koncept idealne obitelji.

I have to tell you about my childhood.

Moram vam ispričati o svom djetinjstvu.

I went to this very proper Christian school

Pohađao sam tu jako pristojnu kršćansku školu

taught by nuns, fathers, brothers, sisters.

u kojoj su podučavale časne sestre, očevi, braća, sestre.

Basically, I was brought up to be a good Samaritan,

U osnovi, odgajan sam da budem dobar Samaritanac,

and I am.

i ja to jesam.

And I'd go at the end of the day to a traditional Hindu house,

I na kraju dana bih otišao do tradicionalne Hindu kuće,

which was probably the only Hindu house

koja je bila vjerojatno jedina Hindu kuća

in a predominantly Islamic neighborhood.

u pretežito islamskoj četvrti.

Basically, I celebrated every religious function.

U osnovi, slavio sam svaku religijsku funkciju.

In fact, when there was a wedding in our neighborhood,

Zapravo, kada bi u našoj četvrti bilo vjenčanje,

all of us would paint our houses for the wedding.

svi bismo krečili naše kuće za vjenčanje.

I remember we cried profusely

Sjećam se kako smo jako plakali

when the little goats we played with in the summer

kada su male koze s kojima smo se igrali tijekom ljeta

became biriani.

postale biriani.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

We all had to fast during Ramadan.

Svi smo morali postiti tijekom Ramadana.

It was a very beautiful time.

Bilo je to jako lijepo vrijeme.

But I must say,

Ali moram reći,

I'll never forget, when I was 13 years old, this happened.

kako, kada mi je bilo 13 godina, nikada neću zaboraviti što se dogodilo.

Babri Masjid --

Babri Masjid --

one of the most beautiful mosques in India,

jedna od najljepših džamija u Indiji,

built by King Babur, I think, in the 16th century --

koju je izgradio Kralj Babur, mislim, u 16. stoljeću --

was demolished by Hindu activists.

je srušena od strane Hindu aktivista.

This caused major riots in my city.

To je prouzročilo velike pobune u mom gradu.

And for the first time,

I po prvi puta,

I was affected

bio sam zahvaćen

by this communal unrest.

tim nemirom u zajednici.

My little five-year-old kid neighbor

Moj mali petogodišnji susjed

comes running in,

dođe trčeći,

and he says, "Rags, Rags.

i kaže, "Rags, Rags.

You know the Hindus are killing us Muslims. Be careful."

Znaš da Hindusi ubijaju nas Muslimane. Budi oprezan".

I'm like, "Dude, I'm Hindu."

A ja, "Čovječe, ja sam Hinduist".

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

He's like, "Huh!"

A on će, "Ha!"

You know, my work is inspired

Znate, moj rad je inspiriran

by events such as this.

događajima poput ovog.

Even in my gallery shows,

Čak i u mojim izlaganjima po galerijama,

I try and revisit historic events

pokušavam ponovno posjetiti povijesne događaje

like Babri Masjid,

poput Babri Masjid,

distill only its emotional residue

destilirati samo njihove emocionalne ostatke

and image my own life.

i zamisliti svoj vlastiti život.

Imagine history being taught differently.

Zamislite da se povijest podučava drugačije.

Remember that children's book

Sjećate li se one knjige za djecu

where you shake and the sexuality of the parents change?

gdje tresete i seksualnost roditelja se promijeni?

I have another idea.

Imam drugu ideju.

It's a children's book about Indian independence --

To je knjiga za djecu o indijskoj nezavisnosti --

very patriotic.

jako patriotska.

But when you shake it, you get Pakistan's perspective.

Ali kada je protresete, dobijete pakistansku perspektivu.

Shake it again, and you get the British perspective.

Protresite je ponovno i dobiti ćete britansku perspektivu.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

You have to separate fact from bias, right.

Morate odvojiti činjenicu od predrasuda, da.

Even my books on children

Čak i moje knjige za djecu

have cute, fuzzy animals.

imaju slatke, krznene životinje.

But they're playing geopolitics.

Ali one se igraju geopolitike.

They're playing out Israel-Palestine,

One igraju Izrael-Palestina,

India-Pakistan.

Indija-Pakistan.

You know, I'm making a very important argument.

Znate, ovo je jako važan argument.

And my argument [is]

A moj argument je

that the only way for us to teach creativity

kako je jedini način da sebe podučavamo kreativnosti

is by teaching children perspectives

podučavanje djece perspektiva

at the earliest stage.

u najranijoj dobi.

After all, children's books are manuals on parenting,

Naposljetku, knjige za djecu su vodiči o roditeljstvu,

so you better give them children's books that teach them perspectives.

stoga im bolje dajte knjige za djecu koje ih uče o perspektivama.

And conversely,

I obrnuto,

only when you teach perspectives

samo kada ih podučavate perspektivama,

will a child be able to imagine

djeca će se moći zamisliti

and put themselves in the shoes

i staviti sebe u cipele

of someone who is different from them.

nekoga tko je drugačiji od njih.

I'm making an argument that art and creativity

Iznosim argument kako su umjetnost i kreativnost

are very essential tools in empathy.

vrlo esencijalni alati u empatiji.

You know, I can't promise my child

Znate, ne mogu obećati svom djetetu

a life without bias --

život bez predrasuda --

we're all biased --

svi mi imamo predrasude --

but I promise to bias my child with multiple perspectives.

ali obećavam kako ću staviti predrasude u više perspektiva.

Thank you very much.

Puno vam hvala.

(Applause)
