Grammys: Reflective Moments

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.

   What is the beauty of art, artistic forms, formulations? Well if the arts don't interest you, then their might not be much to say. In my view: art is probably the most profound driving force, throughout history and to the present day. Art can provoke, interrupt, challenge, individual and public thought. Art has the ability for this kind of capacity. We can think about a woman who has the audacity to talk about her love for porn and sex, as publicly on the stage of the 61st Annual Grammys - Cardi B. 
How does this performance / song / music video challenge perceived gender stereotypes, archetypes, as well as sexuality linked to being a woman? From a scholarly perspective, we can think about the connection between sexuality, as it is linked to creativity. The effect / creations are quite powerful, but the overtness of the topic evokes taboos, unsettles the silences, either to challenge or not. ​We can think about how one views a woman's body, or even the revolt women themselves experience, with the sight of a partial or completely naked women's body.

    Whilst I remain neutral. I do think that innovation, or pushing boundaries occurs at the level of the unknown. This could be through an art form such as the music video by Cardi B, or even scholarly work that pushes limits. We can even think of the art from of music such as telling a story, or even an educative moments for life lessons. 

    We can connect these ideas to historic moments, such as the first Latina woman to open the Grammys - Camilla Cabello. Her performance was eye opening, to reveal the story of her Grandmothers childhood memories, or families living in a house, where they only occupied one room. The performance revealed what was quite normal to previous generations, would now be viewed very differently, depending on region of the globe. The performance is not only an appreciation for her grandmother, but for generations who are much more fortunate. To appreciate what one has. A safe roof over ones head. A reason to be thankful everyday.
