Hi everyone.

2000
Ahoj všetci.
00:17
I'm an artist and a dad -- second time around.
1
2000
3000
Som umelec a otec -- už dvojnásobný.
00:20
Thank you.
2
5000
2000
Ďakujem.
00:22
And I want to share with you my latest art project.
3
7000
3000
A chcem vám porozprávať o mojom poslednom umeleckom projekte.
00:25
It's a children's book for the iPad.
4
10000
3000
Je to detská knižka pre iPad.
00:28
It's a little quirky and silly.
5
13000
2000
Je trošku zvláštna a smiešna.
00:30
It's called "Pop-It,"
6
15000
2000
Volá sa "Pop-It."
00:32
And it's about the things little kids do with their parents.
7
17000
3000
A je o veciach, ktoré malé deti robia so svojimi rodičmi.
00:35
(Music)
8
20000
2000
(Hudba)
00:37
So this is about potty training --
9
22000
2000
Tak toto je o učení sa chodiť na nočník --
00:39
as most of you, I hope, know.
10
24000
3000
čo väčšina z vás, dúfam, zvláda.
00:42
You can tickle the rug.
11
27000
2000
Môžete poštekliť koberček.
00:44
You can make the baby poop.
12
29000
2000
Bábätko sa môže vykakať.
00:46
You can do all those fun things.
13
31000
3000
Môžete robiť rôzne takéto zábavné veci.
00:50
You can burst bubbles.
14
35000
3000
Môžete pukať bubliny.
00:54
You can draw, as everyone should.
15
39000
3000
Môžete kresliť, čo by každý mal.
00:58
But you know, I have a problem with children's books:
16
43000
2000
Ale viete, s knihami pre deti mám jeden problém:
01:00
I think they're full of propaganda.
17
45000
2000
myslím si, že sú plné propagandy.
01:02
At least an Indian trying to get one of these American books in Park Slope, forget it.
18
47000
3000
Aspoň pre Inda, ktorý sa snaží zohnať jednu z týchto amerických knižiek v Park Slope, zabudnite.
01:05
It's not the way I was brought up.
19
50000
3000
Takto som nebol vychovaný.
01:08
So I said, "I'm going to counter this with my own propaganda."
20
53000
2000
Takže som povedal, "Odpoviem na to mojou vlastnou propagandou."
01:10
If you notice carefully,
21
55000
2000
Ak ste sa pozerali pozorne,
01:12
it's a homosexual couple bringing up a child.
22
57000
3000
všimli ste si, že je to homosexuálny pár, ktorý vychováva dieťa.
01:15
You don't like it?
23
60000
2000
Nepáči sa vám to?
01:17
Shake it, and you have a lesbian couple.
24
62000
3000
Zatraste a máte lesbický pár.
01:20
(Laughter)
25
65000
2000
(Smiech)
01:22
Shake it, and you have a heterosexual couple.
26
67000
4000
Zatraste a máte heterosexuálny pár.
01:26
You know, I don't even believe in the concept of an ideal family.
27
71000
3000
Viete, ja ani neverím v koncept ideálnej rodiny.
01:29
I have to tell you about my childhood.
28
74000
2000
Musím vám porozprávať o mojom detstve.
01:31
I went to this very proper Christian school
29
76000
3000
Chodil som do silne kresťanskej školy,
01:34
taught by nuns, fathers, brothers, sisters.
30
79000
3000
v ktorej učili mníšky, otcovia, bratia, sestry.
01:37
Basically, I was brought up to be a good Samaritan,
31
82000
2000
V podstate som bol vychovávaný k tomu, aby zo mňa bol dobrý samaritán,
01:39
and I am.
32
84000
2000
a tým aj som.
01:41
And I'd go at the end of the day to a traditional Hindu house,
33
86000
3000
A na konci dňa som prišiel domov do tradičného hinduistického domu,
01:44
which was probably the only Hindu house
34
89000
2000
ktorý bol pravdepodobne jediným hinduistickým domom
01:46
in a predominantly Islamic neighborhood.
35
91000
3000
v prevažne islamskej štvrti.
01:50
Basically, I celebrated every religious function.
36
95000
3000
V podstate som slávil každý náboženský sviatok.
01:53
In fact, when there was a wedding in our neighborhood,
37
98000
3000
Vlastne, keď sa v štvrti konala svadba,
01:56
all of us would paint our houses for the wedding.
38
101000
2000
všetci sme si svadobne namaľovali domy.
01:58
I remember we cried profusely
39
103000
2000
Pamätám si, ako veľmi sme plakali,
02:00
when the little goats we played with in the summer
40
105000
2000
keď sa kozľatá, s ktorými sme sa v lete hrali,
02:02
became biriani.
41
107000
2000
stali biriani (indické jedlo).
02:04
(Laughter)
42
109000
2000
(Smiech)
02:06
We all had to fast during Ramadan.
43
111000
2000
Všetci sme sa museli počas Ramadánu postiť.
02:08
It was a very beautiful time.
44
113000
2000
Boli to nádherné časy.
02:10
But I must say,
45
115000
2000
Ale musím povedať,
02:12
I'll never forget, when I was 13 years old, this happened.
46
117000
3000
že nikdy nezabudnem na to, čo sa stalo, keď som mal 13.
02:15
Babri Masjid --
47
120000
2000
Babri Masjid --
02:17
one of the most beautiful mosques in India,
48
122000
2000
jedna z najkrajších mešít v Indii,
02:19
built by King Babur, I think, in the 16th century --
49
124000
3000
postavená kráľom Baburom, myslím, že v 16. storočí --
02:22
was demolished by Hindu activists.
50
127000
2000
bola zdemolovaná hinduistickými aktivistami.
02:24
This caused major riots in my city.
51
129000
2000
V mojom meste to spôsobilo obrovské výtržnosti.
02:26
And for the first time,
52
131000
2000
A po prvýkrát
02:28
I was affected
53
133000
2000
som bol ovplyvnený
02:30
by this communal unrest.
54
135000
2000
týmto kolektívnym nepokojom.
02:32
My little five-year-old kid neighbor
55
137000
2000
Môj päťročný sused
02:34
comes running in,
56
139000
2000
ku mne dobehne
02:36
and he says, "Rags, Rags.
57
141000
3000
a hovorí, "Rags, Rags.
02:39
You know the Hindus are killing us Muslims. Be careful."
58
144000
3000
Vieš, že Hindovia zabíjajú nás, moslimov. Buď opatrný."
02:42
I'm like, "Dude, I'm Hindu."
59
147000
2000
A ja mu hovorím, "Kámo, ale ja som hinduista."
02:44
(Laughter)
60
149000
1000
(Smiech)
02:45
He's like, "Huh!"
61
150000
3000
On na to, "Huh!"
02:48
You know, my work is inspired
62
153000
3000
Viete, moja práca je inšpirovaná
02:51
by events such as this.
63
156000
2000
takýmito udalosťami.
02:53
Even in my gallery shows,
64
158000
2000
Aj na mojich výstavách
02:55
I try and revisit historic events
65
160000
2000
sa snažím vracať k historickým udalostiam
02:57
like Babri Masjid,
66
162000
2000
ako je Babri Masjid,
02:59
distill only its emotional residue
67
164000
2000
aby som z nich vyňal len emocionálny zvyšok
03:01
and image my own life.
68
166000
2000
a zobrazil môj vlastný život.
03:03
Imagine history being taught differently.
69
168000
2000
Predstavte si, že by bola história vyučovaná inak.
03:05
Remember that children's book
70
170000
1000
Spomínate si na tú detskú knižku,
03:06
where you shake and the sexuality of the parents change?
71
171000
3000
kde zatrasiete a pohlavie rodičov sa zmení?
03:09
I have another idea.
72
174000
1000
Mám ďalší nápad.
03:10
It's a children's book about Indian independence --
73
175000
3000
Je to detská kniha o indickej nezávislosti --
03:13
very patriotic.
74
178000
2000
veľmi patriotické.
03:15
But when you shake it, you get Pakistan's perspective.
75
180000
2000
Ale keď ňou zatrasiete, dostanete pakistanskú perspektívu.
03:17
Shake it again, and you get the British perspective.
76
182000
3000
Zatrasiete znovu a dostanete britskú perspektívu.
03:20
(Applause)
77
185000
5000
(Potlesk)
03:25
You have to separate fact from bias, right.
78
190000
2000
Musíte odlišovať fakt od predsudku.
03:27
Even my books on children
79
192000
2000
Aj moje knihy pre deti
03:29
have cute, fuzzy animals.
80
194000
2000
obsahujú roztomilé, chlpaté zvieratká.
03:31
But they're playing geopolitics.
81
196000
2000
Ale chovajú sa geopoliticky.
03:33
They're playing out Israel-Palestine,
82
198000
2000
Zobrazujú Izrael proti Palestíne,
03:35
India-Pakistan.
83
200000
2000
Indiu proti Pakistanu.
03:37
You know, I'm making a very important argument.
84
202000
2000
Viete, robím veľmi dôležitý argument.
03:39
And my argument [is]
85
204000
2000
A tým argumentom je,
03:41
that the only way for us to teach creativity
86
206000
4000
že jediným spôsobom, ako učiť kreativitu,
03:45
is by teaching children perspectives
87
210000
2000
je učiť deti rôznym perspektívam,
03:47
at the earliest stage.
88
212000
2000
čo najskôr.
03:49
After all, children's books are manuals on parenting,
89
214000
2000
Napokon, detské knižky sú manuálom k rodičovstvu,
03:51
so you better give them children's books that teach them perspectives.
90
216000
3000
takže radšej im dajte detské knihy, ktoré učia rôznym perspektívam.
03:54
And conversely,
91
219000
2000
A naopak,
03:56
only when you teach perspectives
92
221000
2000
len keď dieťa učíte rôznym perspektívam,
03:58
will a child be able to imagine
93
223000
2000
bude schopné predstaviť si
04:00
and put themselves in the shoes
94
225000
2000
a vložiť sa do situácie
04:02
of someone who is different from them.
95
227000
2000
niekoho, kto je od neho odlišný.
04:04
I'm making an argument that art and creativity
96
229000
2000
Argumentujem tým, že umenie a kreativita
04:06
are very essential tools in empathy.
97
231000
3000
sú nevyhnutným nástrojom k empatii.
04:09
You know, I can't promise my child
98
234000
2000
Viete, môjmu dieťaťu nemôžem sľúbiť
04:11
a life without bias --
99
236000
2000
život bez predsudkov --
04:13
we're all biased --
100
238000
2000
všetci máme predsudky --
04:15
but I promise to bias my child with multiple perspectives.
101
240000
3000
ale sľubujem, že ho budem ovplyvňovať rôznymi perspektívami.
04:18
Thank you very much.
102
243000
2000
Ďakujem vám veľmi pekne.
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.
