Ein Leben als Gesamtkunstwerk: Yoko Ono wird 90 | DW | 17.02.2023

Als Ehefrau von John Lennon sorgte sie stets für Aufsehen. Doch sie ist mehr als nur seine Witwe. Yoko Ono gilt als Pionierin der Konzeptkunst, engagiert sich für den Frieden - und bleibt dabei doch stets unnahbar.#JohnLennon #YokoOno #Performance #Beatles #PaulMcCartney

The Russian “protest” #culture continues its procession down the road of moderateness and carefulness. First we witnessed the ROAR almanac, edited by Linor Goralik, which took in only the works by “correctly”, “humanely”, and moderately rebelling authors according to the principle “just don’t cause any inconveniences”, while also publishing poems by poor souls showing compassion to Russian jingoists. Now this tradition is continued by a band from a seemingly different cultural cluster: Russian import-oriented popular #music. It’s doubtful that the members and the vast majority of #LittleBig fans are reading Neo-modernist works, or even authors like Vera Polozkova, but this band’s new music video exhibits the very same thing: a half-hearted #rebellion.
The anti-war music video “Generation Cancellation” came out on 24th of June. This song, like many other songs of theirs, is performed in English; Little Big here tries to appear as part of the global cultural context and seemingly distance itself from the realities of “provincial” #Russia. But what we have is nothing new: cowardly pseudo-rebelliousness has become a defining characteristic of many Russian cultural figures.

John Lennon ~ Give Peace a Chance

October 9, 1940 - December 8, 1980

Watch the film BED PEACE 1969

'In 1969, John and I were so naïve to think that doing the #Bed-In would help change the world. Well, it might have. But at the time, we didn't know. It was good that we filmed it, though. The film is powerful now. What we said then could have been said now. In fact, there are things that we said then in the film, which may give some #encouragement and #inspiration to the #activists of today. Good luck to us all. Let's remember WAR IS OVER If We Want It. It's up to us, and nobody else.'

Love, Yoko Ono Lennon
