This posting & its linked video/commentary are entirely inappropriate for this list & I'm very surprised that it was allowed. I've been on this list for 20+ years & it's always been a fun, creative & non-threatening space for folders of any race/creed/religion, until today. The suggestion of discussing its art-related aspects rather than political implications for such inflammatory content is ridiculous. My comments have nothing to do with free speech, but rather with poor discretion, despite the link's origami-related content. I believe that this post is what should find another venue.

New instructional video release (Joseph Wu) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Sat, 11 May 2024 12:31:23 -0700 From: Joseph Wu <qu...@origami.as> To: List Origami Mailing <origami@lists.digitalorigami.com> Subject: [Origami] New instructional video release Message-ID: <e791a20a-f498-4ac1-8a98-8441111a0...@origami.as> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" This list is not a place for political discussions, but art is sometimes political. I've created a piece (and released an instructional video for it) in support of a cause with which you might not agree, or find offensive. Please discuss the *art* or *origami* aspects of this here; if you wish to engage in political dialog, you'll need to find another venue. This piece, ?Cat Head for Palestine?, was originally designed for the Origami World Marathon 2024. Since I almost never make instructions of any kind, I decided to withdraw it from that event and to release it for this purpose instead. You can find the video, with more information about the design, here: https://vimeo.com/910557067 ---------- Joseph Wu, Origami Artist (via iPhone) e: josep...@origami.as w: http://www.origami.as flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/josephwuorigami/ facebook: http://www.facebook.com/joseph.wu.origami -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
