This week I'm sharing A Tooth for an Eye by The Knife.
I love the way the video plays with expectations and gender norms and the choreography is beautiful.
The lyrics of the song speak more to humanism and inequity in a poetic form.
Favourite bits:
Border's lies
The idea of what's mine
A strange desire
Drawing lines with a ruler
Bring the fuel to the fire
I remember being told that some traditional tribes didn't have a concept of owning land; how could one own land anymore than you can own air or water? Particularly if you're a nomadic tribe...
I recall thinking, I agree! I didn't think you really could own air or land or water. They are all elements of the world and belong to everyone and everything that lives here on this planet.
