NPR Interview with K'Naan

thevoiceproject:

This is a really powerful interview that NPR did with K’Naan on the famine in Somalia. 

“I don’t think that we should speak about those kinds of numbers, because what it does is it turns off the part of the mind that probably transmits that information to the heart. I think we need to talk about this in ones and twos. It gets normalized in a way. And I feel that we’re not doing the people that are suffering any justice.”

Lucian Freud, undated photos by David Dawson

Everything is biographical, Lucian Freud says. What we make, why it is made, how we draw a dog, who it is we are drawn to, why we cannot forget. Everything is collage, even genetics. There is the hidden presence of others in us, even those we have known briefly. We contain them for the rest of our lives, at every border we cross.

— Michael Ondaatje
