Race sims revolution

This show has taken on an almost impossible task. Taken as a whole, this exhibition gives some sense of what that alternative reality might feel like: full and layered, almost overwhelming in its tragedy, its grief, and feeling of possibility. Leaving Old Stone House, I wonder what other histories surround me in this particular patch of Brooklyn. What if every historical event, every life transformed by history, was remembered and re-remembered?

I can imagine a battle memorial and a memorial for the people being displaced by gentrification; a monument for the members of the Brooklyn Grays who played in the fields around the Old Stone House and a monument to Susan McKinney Steward, a black physician who ran a nearby hospital for sick children in the years after the Civil War. I imagine the mess of the past stacked up on top of itself in all of its strangeness and sadness, imploring the guys playing handball and the parents of the children on the jungle gyms to consider everything else that this park has been, everyone else who has walked on this ground.

Race and Revolution succeeds not because it is nuanced but because it is blunt. There are long labels that situate the work in historical context, there is no mistaking what stories the pieces are trying to tell.

Many of the pieces are not just considerations of the past, but re-considerations, and are asking straightforward, clear questions. How do we think about Stonewall in ? What layer can we add to a statue of George Washington to properly situate him in history? Instead, a memorial must be in constant conversation with the present, asking not only what history once meant, but what it means now.

Hello, I am Revolution Sims! Welcome to my Patreon page! I make custom content for the Sims 4. I've always had a love for history and realism in the sims, so when I could not find custom content that I wanted, I decided to learn how to make my own.

I started with conversions first until I finally taught myself how to make it from scratch. Now here I am making original content for everyone! Why do you have a Patreon? I am unemployed and have huge college bills I need to pay off, so every penny helps! Not to mention, making CC takes a lot of time and electricity!
