Podijeljenosti na vjerskoj osnovi produbljuju se, a mi sve više i više sumnjamo u to koliko toga nam je zajedničko. Kako možemo odlučno i javno stajati zajedno? Inspirirana idejom svojeg suradnika Yazmany Arboleda, stvarateljica prostora Nabila Alibhai, sa svojim je kolegama stvorila "Colour in Faith" ("Bojanku vjere"), umjetnički projekt društvene prakse koji ujedinjuje ljude različitih religija kroz akt međusobnog bojenja mjesta štovanja u žutu boju, u svrhu demonstracije solidarnosti. Riječima Alibhai, "Dokazali smo da se ljudska obitelj može ujediniti i poslati poruku uvelike jaču i moćniju od onih glasova koji nam žele zlo".

We live in a time of fear,

2000
Živimo u vrijeme straha,
00:15
and our response to fear
can either be to contract

i naša reakcija na strah
je ili kontrakcija,

00:19
and attempt to guard ourselves

u pokušaju da zaštitimo sami sebe,
00:22
or to extend ourselves,
hold on to each other,

ili ekspanzija samih sebe,
oslanjanje na druge

What is your instinct?

Koji je vaš instinkt?
00:30
What do you see more of in the world?

18680

Čega u svijetu vidite više?
00:34
The problem with the first approach
7
22240
1976
Problem s prvim pristupom
00:36
is that in our mounting isolation,
8
24240
2336
je to što u svojoj ograničenoj izolaciji
00:38
we divide ourselves from others.
9
26600
2616
odvajamo sebe od drugih.
00:41
Our sense of isolation grows,
10
29240
2416
Osjećaj izolacije u nama raste
00:43
because our imagination
goes into overdrive
goes into overdrive
11
31680
2136
jer se naša mašta ubacuje u petu brzinu
00:45
about the people and the spaces
that we no longer engage with.
that we no longer engage with.
12
33840
3536
po pitanju ljudi i prostora
s kojima više nismo povezani.
s kojima više nismo povezani.
00:49
Our sense of otherness grows,
and we lose empathy.
and we lose empathy.
13
37400

Osjećaj različitosti u nama raste
i gubimo empatiju.

00:54
Today I'm going to tell you
about a group of people

14
42560
2416
Danas ću vam pričati o grupi ljudi
00:57
that took the global
challenge of terrorism

15
45000
2136
koji su uzeli globalni problem terorizma
00:59
and began creating spaces
where strangers connect in solidarity.

16
47160

i počeli stvarati prostore u kojima
se stranci povezuju u solidarnosti.

01:04
My own obsession with what I see
as irrational divisions began as a child.

Moja vlastita opsesija iracionalnom
podijeljenošću počela je u djetinjstvu.

As a fourth-generation

Kao pripadnicu četvrte generacije
kenijskih muslimana indijskog porijekla,
kenijskih muslimana indijskog porijekla,
01:14
it bothered me that in four generations,
19
62040
1936
mučilo me to što u četiri generacije
01:16
there wasn't a single
marriage in my family
marriage in my family
20
64000
2056
moje obitelji nije sklopljen ni jedan brak
01:18
outside of my small religious community.
21
66080
2120
izvan naše malene religijske zajednice.
01:20
And I wondered what that was about.
22
68880
1680
Pitala sam se zašto je tako.
01:23
Was it fear?
23
71600
1776
Zbog straha?
01:25
Was it racism?
24
73400
1320
Zbog rasizma?
01:28
Was it cultural preservation?
25
76240
1560
Zbog očuvanja kulture?
01:30
Did it have something
to do with colonialism?
to do with colonialism?
26
78760
2096
Je li to imalo veze s kolonijalizmom?
01:34
Certainly, we didn't share a lot
of the same public spaces with others.

27
82240
3880
U svakom slučaju, nismo dijelili mnogo
istih javnih prostora s drugima.

01:39
These divisions bothered me deeply,
and they drove my career choices.

Takva podijeljenost me duboko mučila
i utjecala na izbor moje karijere.

When I was 20, the US embassies
in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed.

Kad sam imala 20 godina, na ambasade SAD-a
u Keniji i Tanzaniji bačene su bombe.

01:51
A year later, I was on my way
to the Middle East
to the Middle East
30
99080
2256
Godinu kasnije, krenula sam
na Bliski istok
na Bliski istok
01:53
to study conflict resolution.
31
101360
1480
izučavati rješavanje konflikata.
01:55
And then from that point on,
32
103880
1376
Od tog trenutka nadalje,
nije mi bilo teško pronaći nesigurna
okruženja u kojima sam mogla raditi,
okruženja u kojima sam mogla raditi,
01:57
it wasn't very hard for me
to find insecure environments to work in,
to find insecure environments to work in,
33
105280
3536
02:00
because the world was quickly shifting
34
108840
1856
jer je svijet brzo napredovao
02:02
in what we now know
as the time of terrorism.
as the time of terrorism.
35
110720
2320
u ono što danas znamo kao doba terorizma.
02:05
I was in Washington, DC
when 9/11 happened,

36
113920
3256
Bila sam u Washingtonu
u vrijeme napada 11. rujna,
u vrijeme napada 11. rujna,
02:09
and then I moved back home
to Kenya to work with refugees

37
117200
3456
a zatim sam se preselila natrag
u Keniju kako bih radila s izbjeglicama,
u Keniju kako bih radila s izbjeglicama,
02:12
and then later worked in Pakistan
38
120680
2136
kasnije radila u Pakistanu
02:14
and in Afghanistan.
39
122840
1480
i Afganistanu.
02:18
In all of these places, what I noticed
40
126120
2656
Na svim sam tim mjestima primjetila
02:20
was how important physical spaces are
41
128800
2536
koliko su važni fizički prostori
02:23
to making us feel safe
42
131360
2376
da bismo se osjećali sigurno
02:25
and well
43
133760
1296
i dobro,
02:27
and like we belong.
44
135080
1200
kao da pripadamo tamo.
02:29
In 2013, I came back home
to Nairobi from Afghanistan.
to Nairobi from Afghanistan.
45
137760
3520
2013. vratila sam se
iz Afganistana kući u Nairobi.
iz Afganistana kući u Nairobi.
02:34
Al-Shabaab operatives
had besieged Westgate shopping center,
had besieged Westgate shopping center,
46
142640
3136
Operativci skupine Al-Shabaab
opkolili su Westgate shopping centar
opkolili su Westgate shopping centar
02:37
killing 67 people
in a day of utter horror.
in a day of utter horror.
47
145800
4000
i ubili 67 osoba u danu apsolutnog užasa.
02:44
Soon after that,
48
152040
1896
Ubrzo nakon toga,
02:45
I could see how Nairobi
was beginning to change,
was beginning to change,
49
153960
2456
uvidjela sam da se Nairobi
počinje mijenjati,
počinje mijenjati,
02:48
and it was beginning to feel
more like the fear and terror-weary
more like the fear and terror-weary
50
156440
4936
počinje sve više nalikovati
gradovima iscpljenim od straha,
gradovima iscpljenim od straha,
terora i rata u kojima sam radila.
02:53
and war-torn cities that I had worked in.
51
161400
2520
02:57
And Nairobi continues to grow
in fear-driven ways.
in fear-driven ways.
52
165240
3320
I Nairobi nastavlja rasti
u smjerovima vođenim strahom.
u smjerovima vođenim strahom.
03:01
We see more walls, more barriers,
53
169320
2536
Vidimo više zidova, više barijera,
03:03
more security.
54
171880
1240
više osiguranja.
03:06
And like other parts of the world,
55
174000
1656
Kao i u drugim dijelovima svijeta,
03:07
we are experiencing
an erosion of human connection.
an erosion of human connection.
56
175680
4160
svjedočimo eroziji ljudske povezanosti.
03:12
Divisions along
religious lines are deepening,
religious lines are deepening,
57
180320
3096
Podjele na osnovi religije se produbljuju
03:15
and we're doubting more and more
how much we have in common.
how much we have in common.
58
183440
3520
i sve više sumnjamo u to
koliko toga nam je zajedničko.
koliko toga nam je zajedničko.
03:20
We are at a pivotal time
59
188600
1296
Sada je ključni trenutak
03:21
when we need to restore
our confidence in humanity
our confidence in humanity
60
189920
3536
za ponovno uspostavljanje
našeg povjerenja u čovječanstvo,
našeg povjerenja u čovječanstvo,
03:25
and stand boldly and visibly together.
61
193480
2880
stati odvažno i javno zajedno.
03:29
So in 2014, I brought together
a group of people in Nairobi
a group of people in Nairobi
62
197880
2776
Zato sam 2014. okupila
grupu ljudi u Nairobiju
grupu ljudi u Nairobiju
03:32
to figure out what to do:
63
200680
1240
da smislimo što činiti:
03:34
public intellectuals, diplomats,
artists, development workers.
artists, development workers.
64
202680
4960
javne intelektualce, diplomate, umjetnike,
one koji rade na unaprijeđenju zajednica.
one koji rade na unaprijeđenju zajednica.
03:40
And the group articulated
our challenge as threefold:
our challenge as threefold:
65
208520
3280
Grupa je izazov pred nama
opisala kao trostruki:
opisala kao trostruki:
03:45
one, to reclaim the city
from the narrative of terrorism
from the narrative of terrorism
66
213000
3936
prvo, odvratiti grad
od pričanja o terorizmu
od pričanja o terorizmu
03:48
and back into the hands
of the people that live there;
of the people that live there;
67
216960
3216
i vratiti ga u ruke ljudi
koji u njemu žive;
koji u njemu žive;
03:52
two, introduce a language
beyond race, tribe or religion
beyond race, tribe or religion
68
220200
4056
drugo, uvesti jezik koji je iznad
bilo koje rase, plemena ili religije,
bilo koje rase, plemena ili religije,
03:56
that would help us
transcend our differences;
transcend our differences;
69
224280
3376
a koji bi nam pomogao
da nadiđemo svoje različitosti;
da nadiđemo svoje različitosti;
03:59
and three, provide a gesture
that would help restore empathy
that would help restore empathy
70
227680
4536
i treće, pružiti gestu
koja bi pomogla u uspostavljanju empatije,
koja bi pomogla u uspostavljanju empatije,
04:04
and conversation and trust.
71
232240
2360
dijaloga i povjerenja.
04:08
One of the people in this group
was an artist and architect,

72
236520
2976
Jedan od ljudi u toj grupi
bio je umjetnik i arhitekt,
bio je umjetnik i arhitekt,
04:11
Yazmany Arboleda.
73
239520
1680
Yazmany Arboleda.
04:14
He and I have collaborated
in other parts of the world
in other parts of the world
74
242040
2776
On i ja smo surađivali
u drugim dijelovima svijeta
u drugim dijelovima svijeta
04:16
over many years.
75
244840
1576
tijekom mnogih godina.
04:18
He has a history
76
246440
1536
Bile su mu poznate priče
04:20
of disrupting urban environments
77
248000
2536
narušavanja urbanih okruženja
04:22
and making strangers connect
78
250560
1656
i povezivanja stranaca
04:24
in incredible, beautiful
and spectacular ways.
and spectacular ways.
79
252240
3160
na nevjerojatne, prekrasne
i spektakularne načine.
i spektakularne načine.
04:28
He had an idea.
80
256880
1736
Imao je ideju.
04:30
The idea was to unite people
of different faiths
of different faiths
81
258640
3136
Ideja je bila ujediniti ljude
različitih vjeroispovjesti
različitih vjeroispovjesti
04:33
by getting them to paint
each other's houses of worship,
each other's houses of worship,
82
261800
3176
kroz međusobno bojenje mjesta štovanja,
04:37
mosques, temples, synagogues, churches,
83
265000
3696
džamija, hramova, sinagoga, crkvi,
04:40
paint them yellow
84
268720
1936
obojiti ih u žuto
04:42
in the name of love.
85
270680
1360
u ime ljubavi.
04:46
By focusing on icons of faith,
86
274160
3336
Fokusirajući se na vjerske ikone,
04:49
we would get people to reexamine
the true essence of their faith,
the true essence of their faith,
87
277520
4056
natjerali bismo ljude da preispitaju
pravu srž svoje vjere,
pravu srž svoje vjere,
04:53
the common belief that we share
in kindness, generosity and friendship.
in kindness, generosity and friendship.
88
281600
3880
zajedničko vjerovanje u ljubaznost,
velikodušnost i prijateljstvo.
velikodušnost i prijateljstvo.
04:58
By creating pathways
between houses of worship
between houses of worship
89
286800
3016
Stvarajući prolaze među mjestima štovanja
05:01
within one neighborhood,
90
289840
1616
unutar jedne četvrti,
05:03
we would create islands of stability
91
291480
1896
stvorili bismo otoke stabilnosti
05:05
and networks of people
92
293400
1416
i mreže ljudi
05:06
that could withstand threats.
93
294840
2520
koje mogu odoljeti prijetnjama.
05:10
And neighbors, by picking up
a paintbrush with other neighbors,
a paintbrush with other neighbors,
94
298160
3520
A susjedi, uzimajući kistove
u ruke s drugim susjedima,
u ruke s drugim susjedima,
05:14
would engage not just with their heads
95
302720
2016
angažirali bi se ne samo svojim glavama,
05:16
but with their hands
and with their hearts.
and with their hearts.
96
304760
2320
već i svojim rukama te svojim srcima.
05:20
And the painted buildings would become
sculptures in the landscape
sculptures in the landscape
97
308320
3136
Obojene bi građevine postale
skulpturama u krajoliku,
skulpturama u krajoliku,
05:23
that speak of people
from very different backgrounds
from very different backgrounds
98
311480
2656
koje svjedoče o ljudima
iz vrlo različitih sredina
iz vrlo različitih sredina
05:26
that stand together.
99
314160
1200
koji stoje zajedno.
05:29
We'd call the project "Colour in Faith."
100
317520
2000
Projekt bismo nazvali "Bojanka vjere".
05:32
We loved the idea and we immediately
began approaching houses of worship:
began approaching houses of worship:
101
320400
4056
Oduševili smo se idejom i smjesta
počeli prilaziti mjestima štovanja:
počeli prilaziti mjestima štovanja:
05:36
churches, temples, mosques, synagogues.
102
324480
2776
crkvama, hramovima, džamijama, sinagogama.
05:39
Door to door, we went
to more than 60 rabbis,
to more than 60 rabbis,
103
327280
2656
Od vrata do vrata,
posjetili smo više od 60 rabina,
posjetili smo više od 60 rabina,
05:41
imams, pastors and priests.
104
329960
2520
imama, pastora i svećenika.
05:45
As you can imagine,
105
333160
1456
Kao što možete zamisliti,
05:46
bringing these communities together
106
334640
1696
zbližavanje ovih zajednica,
05:48
when prejudices are reinforced
by a global pandemic of fear
by a global pandemic of fear
107
336360
3216
kada su predrasude ojačane
globalnom pandemijom straha,
globalnom pandemijom straha,
05:51
is not easy.
108
339600
1256
nije lako.
05:52
It was complicated.
109
340880
1200
Bilo je komplicirano.
05:55
We were confronted
with the hierarchy of decision-making
with the hierarchy of decision-making
110
343560
2656
Suočili smo se s hijerarhijom
donošenja odluka
donošenja odluka
05:58
within religious establishments.
111
346240
1680
unutar religijskih establišmenta.
06:00
For example, with Catholic churches,
112
348520
2496
Na primjer, što se tiče katoličkih crkvi,
06:03
we were told that the archbishop
would have to make the decision.
would have to make the decision.
113
351040
3296
rečeno nam je da odluku
morati donijeti nadbiskup.
morati donijeti nadbiskup.
06:06
And so we wrote a letter
to the archbishop.
to the archbishop.
114
354360
2096
Pa smo napisali pismo nadbiskupu.
06:08
We wrote a letter to the Vatican.
115
356480
1800
Napisali smo pismo Vatikanu.
06:10
We're still waiting to hear back.
116
358840
1576
Još uvijek čekamo odgovor.
06:12
(Laughter)
117
360440
1856
(Smijeh)
06:14
And with other houses of worship,
118
362320
2056
Što se tiče drugih mjesta štovanja,
06:16
we were told that the patrons,
the people that pay for the building
the people that pay for the building
119
364400
3176
rečeno nam je da pokrovitelji,
koji podmiruju troškove građevina,

06:19
and the construction
and the painting of the buildings
and the painting of the buildings
120
367600
2536
konstrukcije i ličenja građevina,
06:22
would have to make a decision.
121
370160
1440
moraju donijeti odluku.
06:25
And then we came head-to-head
122
373000
1456
Zatim smo se suočili
06:26
with the long legacy
of missionary and donor dependence
of missionary and donor dependence
123
374480
2696
s dugom tradicijom ovisnosti
o misionarima i donatorima,
o misionarima i donatorima,
06:29
that so impedes
unconditional civic action,
unconditional civic action,
124
377200
3296
koja usporava bezuvjetnu građansku akciju,
06:32
and we learned this the hard way.
125
380520
1896
a to smo naučili na teži način.
06:34
There was one community
126
382440
1576
Jedna nas je zajednica
06:36
that in our repeated conversations
would keep asking us
would keep asking us
127
384040
3336
u našim razgovorima uporno tražila
06:39
to appreciate them.
128
387400
1600
da ih cijenimo.
06:41
And so we would keep going back
129
389760
2016
I tako bismo se ponovno vraćali
06:43
and telling them that we appreciate them,
130
391800
2176
i govorili im da ih cijenimo
06:46
and of course,
131
394000
1816
i da, naravno,
06:47
if we didn't appreciate them,
we wouldn't be here.
we wouldn't be here.
132
395840
3040
ovdje ne bismo bili
kada ih ne bismo cijenili.
kada ih ne bismo cijenili.
06:53
And then we learned
painfully late in the game
painfully late in the game
133
401080
2496
A onda smo naučili,
bolno kasno u procesu,
bolno kasno u procesu,
06:55
that the word "appreciation"
is code for getting paid to participate.
is code for getting paid to participate.
134
403600
4560
da riječ "cijenjenje"
znači plaćanje za sudjelovanje.
znači plaćanje za sudjelovanje.
07:01
And so we challenged them
135
409480
1960
Pa smo ih izazvali
07:04
and we asked the question,
136
412600
1816
postavljanjem pitanja
07:06
"So what will it cost?
137
414440
1240
"Koliko će to koštati?
07:08
How much could we pay you?
138
416640
1600
Koliko vam možemo platiti?
07:11
And if we pay for your faith,
is it really faith?"
is it really faith?"
139
419760
2720
I ako plaćamo za vašu vjeru,
je li to zaista vjera?"
je li to zaista vjera?"
07:15
We started the project
asking the question,
asking the question,
140
423840
2616
Projekt smo započeli pitanjem
07:18
"Where does your faith live?"
141
426480
2176
"Gdje vaša vjera živi?"
07:20
And here we found ourselves
asking the question,
asking the question,
142
428680
2256
I našli smo se u situaciji da ispitujemo
07:22
"How much does your faith cost?"
143
430960
1720
"Koja je cijena vaše vjere?"
07:26
But the most difficult issue
was the perceived risk of standing apart.
was the perceived risk of standing apart.
144
434280
3880
Ipak, najteži problem bio je
zamjetan rizik nesuradnje.
zamjetan rizik nesuradnje.
07:30
We had one synagogue
that flat-out refused to participate
that flat-out refused to participate
145
438680
3896
Jedna je sinagoga
kao iz topa odbila surađivati
kao iz topa odbila surađivati
07:34
because it feared
drawing attention to itself
drawing attention to itself
146
442600
2216
zbog straha od privlačenja pažnje
07:36
and becoming a target.
147
444840
1200
i toga da postane meta.
07:39
Similarly, we had a mosque
that also feared becoming a target.
that also feared becoming a target.
148
447000
3240
Na sličan se način i jedna džamija
bojala toga da postane meta.
bojala toga da postane meta.
07:43
And these fears are justified.
149
451600
1880
I ti su strahovi opravdani.
07:47
And yet, there were 25 houses of worship
that pledged to participate.
that pledged to participate.
150
455480
5160
Ipak, 25 vjerskih mjesta
zavjetovalo se na sudjelovanje.
zavjetovalo se na sudjelovanje.
07:53
(Applause)
151

These bold leaders took the gesture
and reinforced it with their own meaning.

For some, it was to tell the world
that they're not terrorists.

Nekima je ona poslužila
da kažu svijetu da oni nisu teroristi.

For others, it was to welcome people

Drugima da pozovu ljude unutra

08:11
And for some, it was to bridge the gap

A nekima da premoste jaz
08:13
between the older
and the younger generation,
and the younger generation,
156
481520

which by the way is something that
many faiths are grappling with right now.

And for some it was simply

08:24
in advance of feared election violence.
159
492040

08:27
When asked why yellow,
160
495880
1536
Kada su upitali zašto žuta boja,
08:29
one imam beautifully said,
161
497440
2256
jedan je imam prekrasno rekao,
08:31
"Yellow is the color of the sun.
162
499720
1920
"Žuta je boja sunca.
08:34
The sun shines on us all equally.

Sunce nas sve jednako obasjava.
08:36
It does not discriminate."
