the most recent dust magazine commissioned this and this is what I had to say about it: I wanted to make us think about establishment. Not necessarily revolt
against it but at least, think whether we are doing the right things.
I personally, don't think we have the right foundations for growth. We
hardly own anything in this country and we have a very westernised
standard of whats 'cool'.hey, I'm here typing all of this in English. I
mean, wants defines cool anyway? Who gave the standards for what cool
is? I believe we can set our own standards on whatever avenue. thats
where the phrase "get off the slave ships, build our own pyramids" plays
in. the Irony is that, I borrowed that text from some "American"
rapper. The Irony is a lot to think about.
oh and we are starting to build our own 'pyramids'! The people upfront
represent the new generation thats going to. We have so much to offer
the world. It's going to be a shame if no one gets to see it.
Aside
the fact that it makes for exciting visuals, destroying and rebuilding
was the theme for this. Sort of how Kwame Nkrumah intended. Don't mind
me chale. I'm just defiant rebellious youth. I'm going through some
anarchism phase.
God bless our homeland Ghana. Hanson
