Hi everyone.

2000
Pozdrav svima.
00:17
I'm an artist and a dad -- second time around.
1
2000
3000
Ja sam umjetnik i tata -- po drugi put.
00:20
Thank you.
2
5000
2000
Hvala vam.
00:22
And I want to share with you my latest art project.
3
7000
3000
I želim s vama podijeliti svoj zadnji umjetnički projekt.
00:25
It's a children's book for the iPad.
4
10000
3000
To je knjiga za djecu za iPad.
00:28
It's a little quirky and silly.
5
13000
2000
Pomalo je razigrana i šašava.
00:30
It's called "Pop-It,"
6
15000
2000
Zove se "Pop-It",
00:32
And it's about the things little kids do with their parents.
7
17000
3000
i radi se o stvarima koje mala djeca rade sa svojim roditeljima.
00:35
(Music)
8
20000
2000
(Glazba)
00:37
So this is about potty training --
9
22000
2000
Dakle, ovdje se radi o treniranju kahlice --
00:39
as most of you, I hope, know.
10
24000
3000
kao što većina vas, nadam se, zna.
00:42
You can tickle the rug.
11
27000
2000
Možete škakljati sag.
00:44
You can make the baby poop.
12
29000
2000
Možete djete voditi na veliku nuždu.
00:46
You can do all those fun things.
13
31000
3000
Možete raditi sve te zabavne stvari.
00:50
You can burst bubbles.
14
35000
3000
Možete pucati mjehuriće.
00:54
You can draw, as everyone should.
15
39000
3000
Možete crtati, kao što bi i svatko trebao.
00:58
But you know, I have a problem with children's books:
16
43000
2000
Ali znate, imam problem s knjigama za djecu:
01:00
I think they're full of propaganda.
17
45000
2000
mislim kako su pune propagande.
01:02
At least an Indian trying to get one of these American books in Park Slope, forget it.
18
47000
3000
Barem poput onog Indijanca koji pokušava nabaviti te američke knjige u Slope parku, zaboravite.
01:05
It's not the way I was brought up.
19
50000
3000
To nije način na koji sam odgojen.
01:08
So I said, "I'm going to counter this with my own propaganda."
20
53000
2000
Stoga sam rekao, "Boriti ću se protiv toga s vlastitom propagandom."
01:10
If you notice carefully,
21
55000
2000
Ako pažljivo primjetite,
01:12
it's a homosexual couple bringing up a child.
22
57000
3000
radi se o homoseksualnom paru koji odgaja dijete.
01:15
You don't like it?
23
60000
2000
Ne sviđa vam se?
01:17
Shake it, and you have a lesbian couple.
24
62000
3000
Protresite je, i imate par lezbijki.
01:20
(Laughter)
25
65000
2000
(Smijeh)
01:22
Shake it, and you have a heterosexual couple.
26
67000
4000
Protresite je, i imate heteroseksualni par.
01:26
You know, I don't even believe in the concept of an ideal family.
27
71000
3000
Znate, ja čak ni ne vjerujem u koncept idealne obitelji.
01:29
I have to tell you about my childhood.
28
74000
2000
Moram vam ispričati o svom djetinjstvu.
01:31
I went to this very proper Christian school
29
76000
3000
Pohađao sam tu jako pristojnu kršćansku školu
01:34
taught by nuns, fathers, brothers, sisters.
30
79000
3000
u kojoj su podučavale časne sestre, očevi, braća, sestre.
01:37
Basically, I was brought up to be a good Samaritan,
31
82000
2000
U osnovi, odgajan sam da budem dobar Samaritanac,
01:39
and I am.
32
84000
2000
i ja to jesam.
01:41
And I'd go at the end of the day to a traditional Hindu house,
33
86000
3000
I na kraju dana bih otišao do tradicionalne Hindu kuće,
01:44
which was probably the only Hindu house
34
89000
2000
koja je bila vjerojatno jedina Hindu kuća
01:46
in a predominantly Islamic neighborhood.
35
91000
3000
u pretežito islamskoj četvrti.
01:50
Basically, I celebrated every religious function.
36
95000
3000
U osnovi, slavio sam svaku religijsku funkciju.
01:53
In fact, when there was a wedding in our neighborhood,
37
98000
3000
Zapravo, kada bi u našoj četvrti bilo vjenčanje,
01:56
all of us would paint our houses for the wedding.
38
101000
2000
svi bismo krečili naše kuće za vjenčanje.
01:58
I remember we cried profusely
39
103000
2000
Sjećam se kako smo jako plakali
02:00
when the little goats we played with in the summer
40
105000
2000
kada su male koze s kojima smo se igrali tijekom ljeta
02:02
became biriani.
41
107000
2000
postale biriani.
02:04
(Laughter)
42
109000
2000
(Smijeh)
02:06
We all had to fast during Ramadan.
43
111000
2000
Svi smo morali postiti tijekom Ramadana.
02:08
It was a very beautiful time.
44
113000
2000
Bilo je to jako lijepo vrijeme.
02:10
But I must say,
45
115000
2000
Ali moram reći,
02:12
I'll never forget, when I was 13 years old, this happened.
46
117000
3000
kako, kada mi je bilo 13 godina, nikada neću zaboraviti što se dogodilo.
02:15
Babri Masjid --
47
120000
2000
Babri Masjid --
02:17
one of the most beautiful mosques in India,
48
122000
2000
jedna od najljepših džamija u Indiji,
02:19
built by King Babur, I think, in the 16th century --
49
124000
3000
koju je izgradio Kralj Babur, mislim, u 16. stoljeću --
02:22
was demolished by Hindu activists.
50
127000
2000
je srušena od strane Hindu aktivista.
02:24
This caused major riots in my city.
51
129000
2000
To je prouzročilo velike pobune u mom gradu.
02:26
And for the first time,
52
131000
2000
I po prvi puta,
02:28
I was affected
53
133000
2000
bio sam zahvaćen
02:30
by this communal unrest.
54
135000
2000
tim nemirom u zajednici.
02:32
My little five-year-old kid neighbor
55
137000
2000
Moj mali petogodišnji susjed
02:34
comes running in,
56
139000
2000
dođe trčeći,
02:36
and he says, "Rags, Rags.
57
141000
3000
i kaže, "Rags, Rags.
02:39
You know the Hindus are killing us Muslims. Be careful."
58
144000
3000
Znaš da Hindusi ubijaju nas Muslimane. Budi oprezan".
02:42
I'm like, "Dude, I'm Hindu."
59
147000
2000
A ja, "Čovječe, ja sam Hinduist".
02:44
(Laughter)
60
149000
1000
(Smijeh)
02:45
He's like, "Huh!"
61
150000
3000
A on će, "Ha!"
02:48
You know, my work is inspired
62
153000
3000
Znate, moj rad je inspiriran
02:51
by events such as this.
63
156000
2000
događajima poput ovog.
02:53
Even in my gallery shows,
64
158000
2000
Čak i u mojim izlaganjima po galerijama,
02:55
I try and revisit historic events
65
160000
2000
pokušavam ponovno posjetiti povijesne događaje
02:57
like Babri Masjid,
66
162000
2000
poput Babri Masjid,
02:59
distill only its emotional residue
67
164000
2000
destilirati samo njihove emocionalne ostatke
03:01
and image my own life.
68
166000
2000
i zamisliti svoj vlastiti život.
03:03
Imagine history being taught differently.
69
168000
2000
Zamislite da se povijest podučava drugačije.
03:05
Remember that children's book
70
170000
1000
Sjećate li se one knjige za djecu
03:06
where you shake and the sexuality of the parents change?
71
171000
3000
gdje tresete i seksualnost roditelja se promijeni?
03:09
I have another idea.
72
174000
1000
Imam drugu ideju.
03:10
It's a children's book about Indian independence --
73
175000
3000
To je knjiga za djecu o indijskoj nezavisnosti --
03:13
very patriotic.
74
178000
2000
jako patriotska.
03:15
But when you shake it, you get Pakistan's perspective.
75
180000
2000
Ali kada je protresete, dobijete pakistansku perspektivu.
03:17
Shake it again, and you get the British perspective.
76
182000
3000
Protresite je ponovno i dobiti ćete britansku perspektivu.
03:20
(Applause)
77
185000
5000
(Pljesak)
03:25
You have to separate fact from bias, right.
78
190000
2000
Morate odvojiti činjenicu od predrasuda, da.
03:27
Even my books on children
79
192000
2000
Čak i moje knjige za djecu
03:29
have cute, fuzzy animals.
80
194000
2000
imaju slatke, krznene životinje.
03:31
But they're playing geopolitics.
81
196000
2000
Ali one se igraju geopolitike.
03:33
They're playing out Israel-Palestine,
82
198000
2000
One igraju Izrael-Palestina,
03:35
India-Pakistan.
83
200000
2000
Indija-Pakistan.
03:37
You know, I'm making a very important argument.
84
202000
2000
Znate, ovo je jako važan argument.
03:39
And my argument [is]
85
204000
2000
A moj argument je
03:41
that the only way for us to teach creativity
86
206000
4000
kako je jedini način da sebe podučavamo kreativnosti
03:45
is by teaching children perspectives
87
210000
2000
podučavanje djece perspektiva
03:47
at the earliest stage.
88
212000
2000
u najranijoj dobi.
03:49
After all, children's books are manuals on parenting,
89
214000
2000
Naposljetku, knjige za djecu su vodiči o roditeljstvu,
03:51
so you better give them children's books that teach them perspectives.
90
216000
3000
stoga im bolje dajte knjige za djecu koje ih uče o perspektivama.
03:54
And conversely,
91
219000
2000
I obrnuto,
03:56
only when you teach perspectives
92
221000
2000
samo kada ih podučavate perspektivama,
03:58
will a child be able to imagine
93
223000
2000
djeca će se moći zamisliti
04:00
and put themselves in the shoes
94
225000
2000
i staviti sebe u cipele
04:02
of someone who is different from them.
95
227000
2000
nekoga tko je drugačiji od njih.
04:04
I'm making an argument that art and creativity
96
229000
2000
Iznosim argument kako su umjetnost i kreativnost
04:06
are very essential tools in empathy.
97
231000
3000
vrlo esencijalni alati u empatiji.
04:09
You know, I can't promise my child
98
234000
2000
Znate, ne mogu obećati svom djetetu
04:11
a life without bias --
99
236000
2000
život bez predrasuda --
04:13
we're all biased --
100
238000
2000
svi mi imamo predrasude --
04:15
but I promise to bias my child with multiple perspectives.
101
240000
3000
ali obećavam kako ću staviti predrasude u više perspektiva.
04:18
Thank you very much.
102
243000
2000
Puno vam hvala.
04:20
(Applause)

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Raghava KK - ArtistRaghava KK's paintings and drawings use cartoonish shapes and colors to examine the body, society, our world.
Why you should listen
Raghava KK began his career in art as a newspaper cartoonist, and the cartoonist’s bold line -- and dead-on eye for truth -- still powers his art. His work spans painting, sculpture, installation, film and iPad art, always linked by his challenging opinions on identity, conformity, gender, celebrity, ceremony. (He even views his lavish Indian wedding as a piece of performance art.)
His early work as a painter made a complete break with his cartoon career -- he painted watercolors on canvas using only his hands and feet. Since then, his work has grown to knit together aesthetics from both worlds, as collage and complication play against flat color and precise lines. He shows in galleries and performance spaces around the world and often collaborates with other artists, most recently with musicians Paul Simon and Erykah Badu. In 2011, he launched his children's iPad book, Pop-it, shaking up the concept of an ideal family. He is currently working on a project that promises to shake up everything! From news to education.
