‘Flow love flow flawlessly': Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o's poetry contemplates truth and justice in Venice

'Not an obituary. We cannot write an obituary about an 'idea' that illuminated so many generations transcending geopolitical borders,' as my friend and journalist Pooja Mitra so eloquently puts it. Celebrating instead his love for truth and justice and generosity by sharing a suite of his Venice poems with my photographs of Venice. The photographs do not in anyway interpret the poems. Nor were the poems written for the photographs! At different moments in time both. The only common factor was his 'choosing to like' the nocturnal ones from a host of many. From: ngugi@ To: Naveen Kishore Sat, 24 Aug, 2019 at 12:47 pm Dear Naveen And yes, please let us share our take on Venice! The camera and the pen on Venice!!! Best Ngugi The thing about cities like Venice is their singularity. Nothing quite like it exists. Night-time Venice empties itself of people. And becomes shadow. Unlike other 'nights' in 'other' cities there is a resigned melancholy to these shadows. Not furtive. Or filled with the 'scurry-home' that accompanies fear. Just a combination of light and shade that causes these shadows into being. Almost a nightly re-birth. For the day-time brings bustle. And the Babel of languages carried by each individual traveller-tourist. The night is safe in the absence of sound. Unless you listen to the sound of your own feet returning home. — Naveen Kishore. From: ngugi@ To: Naveen Kishore Wed, 21 Oct, 2020 at 11:28 pm Dear Naveen Your mind and soul churn out image after image. There is one engine that has no arrival, It steams image after image, like you. Art is a journey without an end, because Because it continues its self-resurrection Into new selves Look at the guy called Shakespeare Still talking to us Or the unknown numerous others Like them that authored Mahabharata Art knows not death. Art contains arrival and departure. Venice, Italy Home to churches pigeons gondolas and boats on waterways San Marco to Salute I never have seen so many shrines of worship in one city Inside the boats, tourists press against one another or Push and shove on bridges linking the islands that make Venice. Enter a restaurant or Any shop selling all manner of wares and masks Cacophonous tongues of the globe accost you They're from Asia, Africa, Europe to the Americas. Though Venice is Italyland It's the outnumbered Italian that sounds foreign. With eager eyes and smartphones Tourists run about capturing images: They take them home to tell titillating tales of La Serenissima and Wondrous paintings and sculptures decorating Venetian palaces La Serenissima Venice Venice Venice You have stolen hearts of writers from many lands Which have given birth to great literature. Shakespeare penned The Merchant of Venice and The tale of Othello, the black hero of ancient Venice. Thomas Mann, the German, dreamt up Death in Venice. From Goethe, Henry James to Italo Calvino they've told stories. So I, Ngũgĩ, will also weave one or two in Gĩkũyũ To remind the world that the African sweat also built Venice The way it did other European cities: Amsterdam Copenhagen London Lisbon Madrid Paris Stockholm Venice Venice Venice three times I call you to make sure you hear: Your serenity might lull one into forgetting It hides a history of the blood you once enslaved. Quick Judgment In a restaurant near my place in Campo San Samuele I told them I wanted their specialty, so that On returning home to Africa I would sing gloria to the taste of Italian food. They brought me fish and spaghetti with black ink all over it. What kind of people are these? They flood my food with black ink just because I am black? I walked back to Campo San Samuele angry and hungry. Another day my guide Lucio De Capitani took me to Trattoria da Jonny. I ordered lamb and hastened to tell them not to add anything to the meal. Lucio de Capitani asked for the dish he loved most. They brought him fish and spaghetti flooded with black ink. This is the most beloved dish in Venice, he told me, and The black ink is what we love most. It is not pen ink; It is a black liquid squeezed out of a squid. Bridges of Locked Love Venice is home to hundreds of islands Linked by numerous bridges. Rialto Bridge; Bridge of Sighs; Academy ; and The Devil's Bridge all have stories to tell. Brides and Bridegrooms come from far and wide China, Japan or Korea; They exchange rings and take selfies at their favourite bridge. Lovers descend from all corners of the globe, Pour their love and vows into a padlock, They hang the locks on the bridge and throw the key into the river So their love will remain locked together forever. The bridges hang low under the weight of locked love. But the one I recall more clearly is the Bridge of Sighs: It links Doge's Palace and the New Prison on Piazza San Marco. The wealthy stand on the bridge and sigh with satisfaction The victims of wealth stand on the bridge and sigh with sorrow. Ponte del Diavolo, Venice Legend has it that once, With Venice and Vienna at War, A daughter of Venice and A son of Vienna, a soldier, Felt their hearts rebel against war. They decided to cross the valley of hate, and Swim in the warm waters of love. The family side of the daughter killed the soldier. The girl was left with a bleeding heart. A Healer took her to the devil Who brought back her man to life, but The Devil demanded his fee: On the night before Christmas, The healer was to bring him, at the bridge, souls of the recent dead. Death came for the Healer too soon. When the Devil went to the bridge he did not get his due. Every year when that day comes a cat prowls the bridge, but It is the devil disguised as a cat Waiting for the healer to bring him souls of the recent dead. All he hears are the murmurings of the flowing waters: Flow flawless love flow. Love makes the soul soar Hate makes the soul sink Flow love flow flawlessly Spread One love to all the earth You Devil Go away. Let love to rule the world. Moulaye Niang, Venice I met Moulaye in his factory at Salizadar Del Pignater Burning Murano glass with flaming gas. He made beads; he made necklaces; he made earrings. As he moulded different shapes, he composed lullabies A soul on fire whispering soul into the soul of fire. He reminded me of Prometheus Who once stole fire, for the humans, From the seat of the Gods above. The fire Gave humans the light and the power of making things. This Prometheus is Othello's country man. He comes from Senegal, West Africa. He changes Murano glass into marvels of colorful shapes. This Senegalese glass artist also sings. The light and sounds of Africa are everywhere. Resurrection in Venice I met Othello in Venice but Not the one from Shakespeare Who worked for them Fought their wars Crushed their enemies In defence of Venice. He let Iago's lies Born of racism Get under his skin into his heart and head. He snuffed the life of Desdemona his love And then took his own, Freeing his soul to follow his love. I met Othello in Venice but Not the one painted by Vittore Capaccio Piloting the Venetian gondolas Gliding along their waterways The many canals small and wide On all sides of the Grand Canal. The affluent of Venice felt so good about the ride Which took them to Piazza del Marco and back Feeding their eyes on the architectural wonders Renaissance and Gothic Palaces lined on either side. I met Othello in Venice but Not the one in Bellini's Miracle of the Cross Thrown into the river below the Bridge of To retrieve the remnant of the True Cross. Desperately he fights the waves in order not to drown. The lady of the house looks on from the window above in delight. I met Othello in Venice but Not the one in the ten sculptures That line the walls of Ca'Rezzonico Rented by Ca'Foscari University of Venice for our banquet, Chains still around the slaves' legs and necks. I ask: Are these sculptures here to celebrate slavery or To remind people that What they now eat and drink are fruits of those Once snatched from the mouth of hungry and thirsty slaves? I met Othello in Venice but Not the one painted on the floor of the entrance into Moresco Hotel, On Fondamenta del Passamonte between Rio Nuovo and Rialto Bridge, Near the Peggy Guggenheim Arts Museum. As guests enter, they step on the painting, And deposit the dust and mud from their shoes. No, not this or that Othello. The Othello I met is named Peter Kariũki. Ten years old and black, He organises other boys to play his version of basketball. At Campo de le Gate They bounce balls on the floor and shoot into the basket. He ensures they follow the rules and work in harmony. His bright eyes light up as if They can see into tomorrow and the days after: My mother and father are black and come from Limuru, Kenya They gave me life born of love; My mother and father are white and come from Venice, Italy They gave me life born of love. I was born in Limuru I grew up in Venice In me Kenya and Italy are conjoined. They call me Peter Kariũki The one who resurrects understanding among peoples No matter the color of their skin or The land of their origins and migrations.

He was 'all smiles after Race 1' and shared proof of his happy pictures with the trophy on Instagram. Talking to Formula E about the race, Taylor Barnard said, 'Honestly, my main emotion is that I'm a bit confused! I was sitting at the back for a very long time; I was quite good on energy but I didn't understand how the race was playing out. The team did a great job with the strategy because I came out of the pit lane in sixth so I thought, 'now I can fight!', but I need to look at the race after to understand a little bit better what's actually happened. I was really struggling with energy on the last couple of laps so I did my best in the last few corners. I'm super happy to get another podium, another 15 points in the bag.' On Sunday, Barnard finished tenth in the second race of the Shanghai double-header but was glad he finished it safely as he raced on a wet track in the rain.

JoJo Siwa And Chris Hughes' Cosy PDA Photo Adds Fuel To Dating Buzz

Last Updated: In the picture, the duo could be seen snuggled up while Chris plants a soft kiss on JoJo's forehead. JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes have once again stirred the internet with their cosy photo. On Sunday, June 1, the former Love Island star posted a selfie with the 22-year-old singer on Snapchat, further intensifying the rumours of their romance. In the picture, the duo could be seen snuggled up under the blanket while Chris, shirtless, plants a soft kiss on JoJo's forehead. The Dance Moms alum rested her head and arm on his chest. In the dimly lit image, Chris was also seen lovingly holding JoJo's head. Sharing the cosy photo of the two, the 32-year-old television personality wrote, 'Sleeepinnn beauty." This picture came amidst the growing speculations that Chris and JoJo have been dating. And that was not all. On the same day, Chris posted some glimpses of his night in with JoJo's parents, Tom and Jessalynn, on his Instagram Stories. In one clip, he affectionately referred to the singer's dad as 'my boy" while they played some video games. He also reshared a video originally posted by JoJo's mother, where the Guilty Pleasure singer was seen giving him a kiss during their 'game night" with her parents. Despite the cosy pictures, the 22-year-old singer just days ago insisted that Chris is not her boyfriend. During her appearance on ITV's Lorraine, host Andi Peters brought up their rumoured relationship when JoJo gave out an awkward laugh and firmly confirmed, 'No" Chris is not her boyfriend. However, she did talk about her strong connection with the 32-year-old television star. When the host asked JoJo if she had any talks about exclusivity with Chris, she replied, 'Christopher and I have had a lot of chats. We have never gone into the kitchen and said, 'My head's not turning any way.'" The two met earlier this year on Celebrity Big Brother season 24. In the same conversation, when Andi said that Chris was 'letting us down," JoJo immediately came to his rescue, saying, 'Chris couldn't let me down even if he tried." She also called him the 'best man." Meanwhile, Chris also posted a series of pictures with JoJo Siwa from their Mexican getaway. In one of the photos, the pair was seen cuddling on a couch. On their trip, they also enjoyed some pool time together, a football game and obviously good food. Sharing the carousel, Chris wrote, 'The previous 7 days have been the prettiest." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Chris Hughes (@chrishughesofficial) Before her Celebrity Big Brother stint, JoJo had been dating Kath Ebbs. The latter claimed that the 22-year-old singer dumped her at the British reality show's afterparty. First Published: June 02, 2025, 17:06 IST
