2x mindblown and radicalized by re-reading ‘Ways of Seeing’ in BM. The translation embeds Berger’s incendiary view into the local consciouness. The publication should be a much bigger deal for Malaysian art than it currently is. Relative silence betrays just how compromised and deflated the scene is by fear, hype, elitism and commercial interests.

Current target languages: #Español, #Gaeilge, #Nederlands, #Tagalog (I suck at all of them)

I dabble a bit in: #Türkçe, #украї́нська, #ASL (I also suck at these, but even more)

Want to eventually learn: #Frysk (started but realized it'll go a lot smoother if I know Dutch and don't want to confuse myself doing both at once), #Scots, #BahasaMelayu, #Ladino, #Kiswahili, maybe #Svenska

Abandoned but I still fuck around on Duolingo sometimes: #Latin

Per Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka, hashtag is officially tanda pagar.
