哈嘍，大家好。
00:17
I'm an artist and a dad -- second time around.
1
2000
3000
我系一名藝術家，亦系一位爹地。第二次當爹地了。
00:20
Thank you.
2
5000
2000
多謝。
00:22
And I want to share with you my latest art project.
3
7000
3000
我想同大家分享我最新嘅藝術項目。
00:25
It's a children's book for the iPad.
4
10000
3000
系為iPad設計嘅一款小兒書。
00:28
It's a little quirky and silly.
5
13000
2000
有少少搞怪，有少少傻。
00:30
It's called "Pop-It,"
6
15000
2000
佢叫做“泡泡書”
00:32
And it's about the things little kids do with their parents.
7
17000
3000
系關於細路仔同佢地嘅父母一齊做嘅嘢。
00:35
(Music)
8
20000
2000
（音樂）
00:37
So this is about potty training --
9
22000
2000
所以，呢個就系關於上廁所嘅“訓練”啦——
00:39
as most of you, I hope, know.
10
24000
3000
我希望，大家都知啦。
00:42
You can tickle the rug.
11
27000
2000
你可以玩小地毯。
00:44
You can make the baby poop.
12
29000
2000
你可以幫BB仔便便。
00:46
You can do all those fun things.
13
31000
3000
你可以做所有呢地有趣嘅事。
00:50
You can burst bubbles.
14
35000
3000
你可以嘟爆滴泡泡。
00:54
You can draw, as everyone should.
15
39000
3000
你可以畫畫，大家都可以。
00:58
But you know, I have a problem with children's books:
16
43000
2000
不過，你知啦，我對小兒書有個想法：
01:00
I think they're full of propaganda.
17
45000
2000
我覺得入邊太多宣傳啦。
01:02
At least an Indian trying to get one of these American books in Park Slope, forget it.
18
47000
3000
最起碼，一個印度人去買上流社會嘅美國書籍，算了吧。
01:05
It's not the way I was brought up.
19
50000
3000
呢種唔系我長大嘅方式。
01:08
So I said, "I'm going to counter this with my own propaganda."
20
53000
2000
所以，我就講：“我要用我自己嘅宣傳去對抗。”
01:10
If you notice carefully,
21
55000
2000
如果你細心嘅睇下，
01:12
it's a homosexual couple bringing up a child.
22
57000
3000
呢果系一對男同性夫妻同一個細路仔。
01:15
You don't like it?
23
60000
2000
你唔中意？
01:17
Shake it, and you have a lesbian couple.
24
62000
3000
搖下，依家變成佐女同性夫妻啦。
01:20
(Laughter)
25
65000
2000
（笑……）
01:22
Shake it, and you have a heterosexual couple.
26
67000
4000
搖下，依家又變成異性夫妻啦。
01:26
You know, I don't even believe in the concept of an ideal family.
27
71000
3000
你知嘅，我唔相信有么嘢系叫做理想家庭嘅。
01:29
I have to tell you about my childhood.
28
74000
2000
我想話卑你知，我嘅童年。
01:31
I went to this very proper Christian school
29
76000
3000
我去佐一個很好嘅基督教學校。
01:34
taught by nuns, fathers, brothers, sisters.
30
79000
3000
老師系修女，神父，兄弟，姐妹。
01:37
Basically, I was brought up to be a good Samaritan,
31
82000
2000
基本上，佢地希望我成為一個很善良的人。
01:39
and I am.
32
84000
2000
事實上都系咁。
01:41
And I'd go at the end of the day to a traditional Hindu house,
33
86000
3000
每日晚上，我去到一個傳統的印度教會。
01:44
which was probably the only Hindu house
34
89000
2000
系一個伊斯蘭教興盛的街區里，
01:46
in a predominantly Islamic neighborhood.
35
91000
3000
果間或者就系唯一一間印度度教會。
01:50
Basically, I celebrated every religious function.
36
95000
3000
基本上，我會慶祝所有嘅宗教慶典。
01:53
In fact, when there was a wedding in our neighborhood,
37
98000
3000
事實上，如果隔壁有人結婚，
01:56
all of us would paint our houses for the wedding.
38
101000
2000
我都所有人都會為果個婚禮粉刷我地間屋。
01:58
I remember we cried profusely
39
103000
2000
當夏日同我地一齊玩嘅果地羊仔，
02:00
when the little goats we played with in the summer
40
105000
2000
變成佐蓋澆飯，
02:02
became biriani.
41
107000
2000
我記得我地都哭地好慘。
02:04
(Laughter)
42
109000
2000
（笑……）
02:06
We all had to fast during Ramadan.
43
111000
2000
齋月果陣時，我地都要食齋。
02:08
It was a very beautiful time.
44
113000
2000
果段時間很美好。
02:10
But I must say,
45
115000
2000
但系，我要講，
02:12
I'll never forget, when I was 13 years old, this happened.
46
117000
3000
我唔會旺季，我13歲果時，發生嘅事。
02:15
Babri Masjid --
47
120000
2000
巴布里清真寺——
02:17
one of the most beautiful mosques in India,
48
122000
2000
印度最靚嘅一間清真寺之一，
02:19
built by King Babur, I think, in the 16th century --
49
124000
3000
我想，系16世紀由巴布爾國王建造嘅，
02:22
was demolished by Hindu activists.
50
127000
2000
佢被印度教活躍分子摧毀佐。
02:24
This caused major riots in my city.
51
129000
2000
呢件事系我嘅城市裡造成佐好大嘅動亂。
02:26
And for the first time,
52
131000
2000
第一次，
02:28
I was affected
53
133000
2000
我被呢種族群暴亂，
02:30
by this communal unrest.
54
135000
2000
所影響。
02:32
My little five-year-old kid neighbor
55
137000
2000
我隔壁嘅細路仔，5歲，
02:34
comes running in,
56
139000
2000
沖佐入來，
02:36
and he says, "Rags, Rags.
57
141000
3000
佢同我講，“Rags, Rags”
02:39
You know the Hindus are killing us Muslims. Be careful."
58
144000
3000
”你知唔知印度教滴人系度傻梗我地穆斯林啊，小心滴！“
02:42
I'm like, "Dude, I'm Hindu."
59
147000
2000
我就好似，“呃，我系印度教嘅。”
02:44
(Laughter)
60
149000
1000
（笑……）
02:45
He's like, "Huh!"
61
150000
3000
佢就好似，“啊！”
02:48
You know, my work is inspired
62
153000
3000
你知，我就系受呢地事情所激發，
02:51
by events such as this.
63
156000
2000
做出呢個項目。
02:53
Even in my gallery shows,
64
158000
2000
系我嘅畫廊展示入邊，
02:55
I try and revisit historic events
65
160000
2000
我都努力重新演繹歷史時間，
02:57
like Babri Masjid,
66
162000
2000
就好似巴布里清真寺，
02:59
distill only its emotional residue
67
164000
2000
提煉出佢嘅情感沉澱，
03:01
and image my own life.
68
166000
2000
再想像出我自己嘅生活。
03:03
Imagine history being taught differently.
69
168000
2000
想下，如果歷史唔系甘教嘅。
03:05
Remember that children's book
70
170000
1000
記得我本小兒書嘛？
03:06
where you shake and the sexuality of the parents change?
71
171000
3000
當你搖下，父母嘅性別會轉變？
03:09
I have another idea.
72
174000
1000
我仲有個想法。
03:10
It's a children's book about Indian independence --
73
175000
3000
呢個系一本小兒書，關於印度獨立——
03:13
very patriotic.
74
178000
2000
好愛國嘅。
03:15
But when you shake it, you get Pakistan's perspective.
75
180000
2000
當你搖下，你會有巴基斯坦人嘅角度。
03:17
Shake it again, and you get the British perspective.
76
182000
3000
再搖下，你又有英國人嘅角度。
03:20
(Applause)
77
185000
5000
（掌聲）
03:25
You have to separate fact from bias, right.
78
190000
2000
系啦，你要將事實同偏見分開。
03:27
Even my books on children
79
192000
2000
我嘅小兒書，
03:29
have cute, fuzzy animals.
80
194000
2000
有好得意，毛茸茸嘅動物。
03:31
But they're playing geopolitics.
81
196000
2000
不過，佢地玩梗地緣政治。
03:33
They're playing out Israel-Palestine,
82
198000
2000
佢地扮演佐以色列-巴勒斯坦。
03:35
India-Pakistan.
83
200000
2000
印度-巴基斯坦。
03:37
You know, I'm making a very important argument.
84
202000
2000
你知道嗎，我做梗一個很重要嘅宣言。
03:39
And my argument [is]
85
204000
2000
就系，
03:41
that the only way for us to teach creativity
86
206000
4000
教導如何創新嘅唯一方式，
03:45
is by teaching children perspectives
87
210000
2000
系最初嘅階段，
03:47
at the earliest stage.
88
212000
2000
就系教卑佢地不同嘅角度。
03:49
After all, children's books are manuals on parenting,
89
214000
2000
畢竟，小兒書就系大人教導細路仔嘅手冊，
03:51
so you better give them children's books that teach them perspectives.
90
216000
3000
所以你最好卑佢地果地可以教佢地由不同方式睇問題嘅小兒書。
03:54
And conversely,
91
219000
2000
相反，
03:56
only when you teach perspectives
92
221000
2000
只有你教佢地不同角度，
03:58
will a child be able to imagine
93
223000
2000
細路仔先會有能力去想像，
04:00
and put themselves in the shoes
94
225000
2000
去切身體會，
04:02
of someone who is different from them.
95
227000
2000
同佢地唔一樣嘅人系點想問題嘅。
04:04
I'm making an argument that art and creativity
96
229000
2000
我要宣稱，藝術同創新，
04:06
are very essential tools in empathy.
97
231000
3000
系培養同情，同感，同理入邊好重要嘅部份。
04:09
You know, I can't promise my child
98
234000
2000
你明白，我唔可以保證我嘅子女，
04:11
a life without bias --
99
236000
2000
可以完全無偏見——
04:13
we're all biased --
100
238000
2000
我地所有人都有偏見——
04:15
but I promise to bias my child with multiple perspectives.
101
240000
3000
但系，我可以保證，我嘅子女可以從多重角度睇問題。
04:18
Thank you very much.
102
243000
2000
非常感谢。
04:20
(Applause)
103
245000

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.
