Mickey L.D. Morgan
Mickey L.D. Morgan is presenting a visual-scroll-format and audio-collage thoughtstream poem called Negev Varod/Seeing Pink. It combines a visual text of the poem with an audio reading of the poem with recorded sounds. Practicing the oral-written paired tradition of Judaism with an emphasis on translating for multiple points of access, the work focuses on pink-washing, the act of propagandizing 2LGBTQ+ acceptance in order to obscure systemic violence.
A detailed audio introduction by the artist is available below the artwork, along with a matching transcript. Also available is an audio version of the poem, as well as an ASL interpreted version with voiceover.
