I'm an artist and a dad -- second time around.
1
2000
3000
我是名艺术家和两个孩子的父亲
00:20
Thank you.
2
5000
2000
谢谢
00:22
And I want to share with you my latest art project.
3
7000
3000
我想把我最近的艺术作品分享给大家
00:25
It's a children's book for the iPad.
4
10000
3000
是iPad上的一本儿童书刊
00:28
It's a little quirky and silly.
5
13000
2000
是本新奇古怪的书
00:30
It's called "Pop-It,"
6
15000
2000
叫做"戳一下"
00:32
And it's about the things little kids do with their parents.
7
17000
3000
这是关于孩子和他们父母的故事
00:35
(Music)
8
20000
2000
(音乐)
00:37
So this is about potty training --
9
22000
2000
这是在教孩子上厕所--
00:39
as most of you, I hope, know.
10
24000
3000
你们大概都知道
00:42
You can tickle the rug.
11
27000
2000
你能挠地毯痒痒
00:44
You can make the baby poop.
12
29000
2000
你能叫孩子便便
00:46
You can do all those fun things.
13
31000
3000
你能做任何好玩的事情
00:50
You can burst bubbles.
14
35000
3000
你能戳泡泡啊
00:54
You can draw, as everyone should.
15
39000
3000
你还能画画 相信大家都会
00:58
But you know, I have a problem with children's books:
16
43000
2000
但是 我对儿童读物有一点不满意
01:00
I think they're full of propaganda.
17
45000
2000
我觉得它们在宣扬偏见
01:02
At least an Indian trying to get one of these American books in Park Slope, forget it.
18
47000
3000
印度人别指望能在在Park Slope买到本美式的书籍
01:05
It's not the way I was brought up.
19
50000
3000
至少我不是这样长大的
01:08
So I said, "I'm going to counter this with my own propaganda."
20
53000
2000
所以我决定 "我要用我的书来抗争主流"
01:10
If you notice carefully,
21
55000
2000
如果你有仔细观察的话
01:12
it's a homosexual couple bringing up a child.
22
57000
3000
会发现是一对男同性恋在抚养小孩
01:15
You don't like it?
23
60000
2000
不喜欢这样?
01:17
Shake it, and you have a lesbian couple.
24
62000
3000
摇一下 他们就变女同性恋了
01:20
(Laughter)
25
65000
2000
(笑声)
01:22
Shake it, and you have a heterosexual couple.
26
67000
4000
再摇一下 就变成了异性的夫妻
01:26
You know, I don't even believe in the concept of an ideal family.
27
71000
3000
我其实不相信世上有完美家庭
01:29
I have to tell you about my childhood.
28
74000
2000
我来说说我的童年吧
01:31
I went to this very proper Christian school
29
76000
3000
我上的是一个很正统的基督学校
01:34
taught by nuns, fathers, brothers, sisters.
30
79000
3000
由修女 神父 兄弟 姐妹教授课
01:37
Basically, I was brought up to be a good Samaritan,
31
82000
2000
他们要把握培养成合格的撒马利亚人
01:39
and I am.
32
84000
2000
而且我也做到了
01:41
And I'd go at the end of the day to a traditional Hindu house,
33
86000
3000
每晚我都会去到传统印度教的屋子
01:44
which was probably the only Hindu house
34
89000
2000
那可能是在伊斯兰教区附近
01:46
in a predominantly Islamic neighborhood.
35
91000
3000
仅有的一间印度教的房子
01:50
Basically, I celebrated every religious function.
36
95000
3000
我庆祝每个宗教节日
01:53
In fact, when there was a wedding in our neighborhood,
37
98000
3000
如果我们有邻居结婚的话
01:56
all of us would paint our houses for the wedding.
38
101000
2000
我们都会把房屋粉刷一新
01:58
I remember we cried profusely
39
103000
2000
我记得我们号啕大哭过
02:00
when the little goats we played with in the summer
40
105000
2000
那是为夏天和我们一起玩的小羊羔
02:02
became biriani.
41
107000
2000
被做成比尔尼亚菜饭而哀悼
02:04
(Laughter)
42
109000
2000
(笑声)
02:06
We all had to fast during Ramadan.
43
111000
2000
在斋月的时候 我们都要斋戒
02:08
It was a very beautiful time.
44
113000
2000
那真是段美妙的回忆
02:10
But I must say,
45
115000
2000
但我得说
02:12
I'll never forget, when I was 13 years old, this happened.
46
117000
3000
我不会忘怀13岁那年发生的事情
02:15
Babri Masjid --
47
120000
2000
Babri Masjid--
02:17
one of the most beautiful mosques in India,
48
122000
2000
印度最有名的清真寺
02:19
built by King Babur, I think, in the 16th century --
49
124000
3000
由Babur国王于16世纪建造寺庙
02:22
was demolished by Hindu activists.
50
127000
2000
居然被印度教狂热份子拆毁
02:24
This caused major riots in my city.
51
129000
2000
这在我的城市引起轩然大波
02:26
And for the first time,
52
131000
2000
这也是我第一次
02:28
I was affected
53
133000
2000
感受到集体暴乱
02:30
by this communal unrest.
54
135000
2000
的影响
02:32
My little five-year-old kid neighbor
55
137000
2000
我邻居家五岁小孩
02:34
comes running in,
56
139000
2000
跑进我家
02:36
and he says, "Rags, Rags.
57
141000
3000
叫道 "Rags Rags
02:39
You know the Hindus are killing us Muslims. Be careful."
58
144000
3000
你知道吗 印度教的在残杀我们穆斯林教的人了 当心点"
02:42
I'm like, "Dude, I'm Hindu."
59
147000
2000
我回应说 "小家伙 我就是印度教的"
02:44
(Laughter)
60
149000
1000
(笑声)
02:45
He's like, "Huh!"
61
150000
3000
他惊呼 "啊!"
02:48
You know, my work is inspired
62
153000
3000
要知道 我的工作灵感就源于
02:51
by events such as this.
63
156000
2000
这种类似的事情
02:53
Even in my gallery shows,
64
158000
2000
甚至在我的画展中
02:55
I try and revisit historic events
65
160000
2000
我也试着回顾那些历史事件
02:57
like Babri Masjid,
66
162000
2000
如Babri Masjid一样
02:59
distill only its emotional residue
67
164000
2000
提取情感碎片
03:01
and image my own life.
68
166000
2000
以及生活中的片段
03:03
Imagine history being taught differently.
69
168000
2000
试想若历史能用一种新方式教
03:05
Remember that children's book
70
170000
1000
还记的那本儿童读物
03:06
where you shake and the sexuality of the parents change?
71
171000
3000
你摇一下就能换父母性别
03:09
I have another idea.
72
174000
1000
我有个主意
03:10
It's a children's book about Indian independence --
73
175000
3000
做一本关于印度独立的书
03:13
very patriotic.
74
178000
2000
很爱国吧
03:15
But when you shake it, you get Pakistan's perspective.
75
180000
2000
摇一下 就变巴基斯坦的视角
03:17
Shake it again, and you get the British perspective.
76
182000
3000
再摇一下 就变成英国人的视角
03:20
(Applause)
77
185000
5000
(掌声)
03:25
You have to separate fact from bias, right.
78
190000
2000
你得把事实和偏见分开
03:27
Even my books on children
79
192000
2000
我的书上画着
03:29
have cute, fuzzy animals.
80
194000
2000
可爱的毛绒动物
03:31
But they're playing geopolitics.
81
196000
2000
但是它们代表着地区政治的意义
03:33
They're playing out Israel-Palestine,
82
198000
2000
代表着以色列和巴基斯坦
03:35
India-Pakistan.
83
200000
2000
印度和巴基斯坦
03:37
You know, I'm making a very important argument.
84
202000
2000
我要作出一个很重要的论证
03:39
And my argument [is]
85
204000
2000
我的论证就是
03:41
that the only way for us to teach creativity
86
206000
4000
我们教授创造性的唯一方式
03:45
is by teaching children perspectives
87
210000
2000
是在幼年时期就教孩子
03:47
at the earliest stage.
88
212000
2000
从多角度的看待问题
03:49
After all, children's books are manuals on parenting,
89
214000
2000
毕竟孩子从儿童书籍吸取知识
03:51
so you better give them children's books that teach them perspectives.
90
216000
3000
所以要选能教会他们多角度看问题的书
03:54
And conversely,
91
219000
2000
反之
03:56
only when you teach perspectives
92
221000
2000
只有当你教孩子用不同的角度看问题
03:58
will a child be able to imagine
93
223000
2000
孩子才能发挥想象
04:00
and put themselves in the shoes
94
225000
2000
并设身处地的考虑
04:02
of someone who is different from them.
95
227000
2000
那些有别与他们的人
04:04
I'm making an argument that art and creativity
96
229000
2000
我觉得 艺术和创造力
04:06
are very essential tools in empathy.
97
231000
3000
是共鸣的支柱
04:09
You know, I can't promise my child
98
234000
2000
我不能保证自己的孩子
04:11
a life without bias --
99
236000
2000
一辈子没有偏见--
04:13
we're all biased --
100
238000
2000
我们都是有偏见的--
04:15
but I promise to bias my child with multiple perspectives.
101
240000
3000
但我保证会从多个角度去教导孩子
04:18
Thank you very much.
102
243000
2000
谢谢大家
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.
