Hi everyone.

2000
Zdravo svima.
00:17
I'm an artist and a dad -- second time around.
1
2000
3000
Ja sam umetnik i otac - po drugi put.
00:20
Thank you.
2
5000
2000
Hvala.
00:22
And I want to share with you my latest art project.
3
7000
3000
Želim da sa vama podelim svoj poslednji umetnički projekat.
00:25
It's a children's book for the iPad.
4
10000
3000
To je dečija knjiga za iPad.
00:28
It's a little quirky and silly.
5
13000
2000
Pomalo je luckasta i blesava.
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 govori o stvarima koje mala deca rade sa roditeljima.
00:35
(Music)
8
20000
2000
(muzika)
00:37
So this is about potty training --
9
22000
2000
Ovo je o učenju na nošu -
00:39
as most of you, I hope, know.
10
24000
3000
kao što, nadam se, većina vas zna.
00:42
You can tickle the rug.
11
27000
2000
Možete da pomerite tepih.
00:44
You can make the baby poop.
12
29000
2000
Možete da navede bebu da kaki.
00:46
You can do all those fun things.
13
31000
3000
Možete da radite sve te zabavne stvari.
00:50
You can burst bubbles.
14
35000
3000
Možete da bušite mehuriće.
00:54
You can draw, as everyone should.
15
39000
3000
Možete da crtate, kao što bi svi trebalo.
00:58
But you know, I have a problem with children's books:
16
43000
2000
Ali znate, imam problem sa dečijim knjigama:
01:00
I think they're full of propaganda.
17
45000
2000
Mislim da 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
Indijac ne može da kupi jednu od ovih američkih knjiga u Bruklinu.
01:05
It's not the way I was brought up.
19
50000
3000
Ja nisam tako vaspitan.
01:08
So I said, "I'm going to counter this with my own propaganda."
20
53000
2000
Rekao sam, "Suprotstaviću se sopstvenom propagandom."
01:10
If you notice carefully,
21
55000
2000
Ako pogledate pažljivo,
01:12
it's a homosexual couple bringing up a child.
22
57000
3000
ovde homoseksualni par podiže dete.
01:15
You don't like it?
23
60000
2000
Ne dopada vam se?
01:17
Shake it, and you have a lesbian couple.
24
62000
3000
Promućkajte i dobijate lezbejski par.
01:20
(Laughter)
25
65000
2000
(smeh)
01:22
Shake it, and you have a heterosexual couple.
26
67000
4000
Promućkajte i imate heteroseksualni par.
01:26
You know, I don't even believe in the concept of an ideal family.
27
71000
3000
Ja čak ni ne verujem u ideju savršene porodice.
01:29
I have to tell you about my childhood.
28
74000
2000
Moram vam ispričati o svom detinjstvu.
01:31
I went to this very proper Christian school
29
76000
3000
Išao sam u strogu hrišćansku školu
01:34
taught by nuns, fathers, brothers, sisters.
30
79000
3000
gde su predavale kaluđerice, kaluđeri, časne sestre i braća.
01:37
Basically, I was brought up to be a good Samaritan,
31
82000
2000
Zapravo, odgajan sam da budem dobri Samarićanin,
01:39
and I am.
32
84000
2000
što i jesam.
01:41
And I'd go at the end of the day to a traditional Hindu house,
33
86000
3000
Na kraju dana bih se vraćao tradicionalnoj Hindu kući,
01:44
which was probably the only Hindu house
34
89000
2000
koja je verovatno bila jedina Hindu kuća
01:46
in a predominantly Islamic neighborhood.
35
91000
3000
u islamskom komšiluku.
01:50
Basically, I celebrated every religious function.
36
95000
3000
Ja sam slavio sve religije.
01:53
In fact, when there was a wedding in our neighborhood,
37
98000
3000
Ustvari, kada bi u našem komšiluku bilo venčanje,
01:56
all of us would paint our houses for the wedding.
38
101000
2000
svi bismo za tu priliku ofarbali kuće.
01:58
I remember we cried profusely
39
103000
2000
Sećam se da smo plakali kao kiša
02:00
when the little goats we played with in the summer
40
105000
2000
kada su jarići s kojima smo se leti igrali
02:02
became biriani.
41
107000
2000
završili u paprikašu.
02:04
(Laughter)
42
109000
2000
(smeh)
02:06
We all had to fast during Ramadan.
43
111000
2000
Svi smo morali da postimo za Ramazan.
02:08
It was a very beautiful time.
44
113000
2000
Bilo je to veoma lepo vreme.
02:10
But I must say,
45
115000
2000
Ali moram da kažem,
02:12
I'll never forget, when I was 13 years old, this happened.
46
117000
3000
nikad neću zaboraviti šta se desilo kad sam imao 13 godina.
02:15
Babri Masjid --
47
120000
2000
Babri Masžid -
02:17
one of the most beautiful mosques in India,
48
122000
2000
jednu od najlepših džamija u Indiji,
02:19
built by King Babur, I think, in the 16th century --
49
124000
3000
koju je izgradio kralj Babur, u 16. veku -
02:22
was demolished by Hindu activists.
50
127000
2000
uništili su Hindu aktivisti.
02:24
This caused major riots in my city.
51
129000
2000
Ovo je u mom gradu izazvalo velike nemire.
02:26
And for the first time,
52
131000
2000
I po prvi put,
02:28
I was affected
53
133000
2000
na mene je uticao
02:30
by this communal unrest.
54
135000
2000
ovaj nemir zajednice.
02:32
My little five-year-old kid neighbor
55
137000
2000
Moj mali petogodišnji sused
02:34
comes running in,
56
139000
2000
je dotrčao
02:36
and he says, "Rags, Rags.
57
141000
3000
i rekao: "Rags, Rags. Znaš
02:39
You know the Hindus are killing us Muslims. Be careful."
58
144000
3000
da Hindusi ubijaju nas Muslimane. Budi oprezan".
02:42
I'm like, "Dude, I'm Hindu."
59
147000
2000
Rekoh: "Brate, ja sam Hindus."
02:44
(Laughter)
60
149000
1000
(smeh)
02:45
He's like, "Huh!"
61
150000
3000
A on će: "Haa!"
02:48
You know, my work is inspired
62
153000
3000
Znate, moj rad inspirišu
02:51
by events such as this.
63
156000
2000
događaji kao što je taj.
02:53
Even in my gallery shows,
64
158000
2000
Čak i u svojim izložbama
02:55
I try and revisit historic events
65
160000
2000
pokušavam da ponovo oživim istorijske
02:57
like Babri Masjid,
66
162000
2000
događaje kao što je Babri Masžid,
02:59
distill only its emotional residue
67
164000
2000
da filtriram emotivni deo
03:01
and image my own life.
68
166000
2000
i prikažem sopstveni život.
03:03
Imagine history being taught differently.
69
168000
2000
Zamislite da se istorija uči drugačije.
03:05
Remember that children's book
70
170000
1000
Sećate se dečije knjige koju
03:06
where you shake and the sexuality of the parents change?
71
171000
3000
promućkate i seksualnost roditelja se promeni?
03:09
I have another idea.
72
174000
1000
Imam još jednu ideju.
03:10
It's a children's book about Indian independence --
73
175000
3000
Dečija knjiga o nezavisnosti Indije -
03:13
very patriotic.
74
178000
2000
veoma patriotski.
03:15
But when you shake it, you get Pakistan's perspective.
75
180000
2000
Ali kad prodrmate, dobijete pakistansku perspektivu.
03:17
Shake it again, and you get the British perspective.
76
182000
3000
Prodrmate opet, dobijete britansku perspektivu.
03:20
(Applause)
77
185000
5000
(aplauz)
03:25
You have to separate fact from bias, right.
78
190000
2000
Morate da odvojite činjenice od pristrasnosti.
03:27
Even my books on children
79
192000
2000
Čak i moje knjige o deci
03:29
have cute, fuzzy animals.
80
194000
2000
imaju slatke, čupave 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
Odigravaju sukobe Izraela i Palestine,
03:35
India-Pakistan.
83
200000
2000
Indije i Pakistana.
03:37
You know, I'm making a very important argument.
84
202000
2000
Zastupam veoma važan stav.
03:39
And my argument [is]
85
204000
2000
A to je da je
03:41
that the only way for us to teach creativity
86
206000
4000
jedini način da podučavamo kreativnost
03:45
is by teaching children perspectives
87
210000
2000
taj da decu na najranijem uzrastu
03:47
at the earliest stage.
88
212000
2000
učimo drugačijim gledištima.
03:49
After all, children's books are manuals on parenting,
89
214000
2000
Ipak, dečije knjige su priručnici za roditeljstvo,
03:51
so you better give them children's books that teach them perspectives.
90
216000
3000
pa im bolje dajte knjige koje ih uče perspektivama.
03:54
And conversely,
91
219000
2000
I obrnuto,
03:56
only when you teach perspectives
92
221000
2000
tek kada ih učite perspektivama
03:58
will a child be able to imagine
93
223000
2000
deca mogu da zamisle
04:00
and put themselves in the shoes
94
225000
2000
i da se stave na mesto
04:02
of someone who is different from them.
95
227000
2000
nekoga ko je drugačiji od njih.
04:04
I'm making an argument that art and creativity
96
229000
2000
Zastupam stav da su umetnost i kreativnost
04:06
are very essential tools in empathy.
97
231000
3000
osnovni alati empatije.
04:09
You know, I can't promise my child
98
234000
2000
Znate, ne mogu svom detetu obećati
04:11
a life without bias --
99
236000
2000
život bez pristrasnosti -
04:13
we're all biased --
100
238000
2000
svi smo pristrasni -
04:15
but I promise to bias my child with multiple perspectives.
101
240000
3000
ali obećavam da ću naučiti dete mnogim perspektivama.
04:18
Thank you very much.
102
243000
2000
Mnogo vam hvala.
04:20
(Applause)
103

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.
