Dani over at iCommons<\/a> asked me to donate some art to the upcoming bring n braai<\/a>, which is geared towards CC<\/a> work in relation to child education in South Africa. I wanted to give something that was fitting and South African, so I went back into my archives and pulled up the performance poem I originally wrote for The Double Room<\/em><\/a>, a multimedia piece about the discourse surrounding HIV, which premiered in Joburg in 2001, and subsequently won 3 FNB Vita awards. I’d never recorded it, so had to brush up a bit, but went ahead and made mp3’s of both the long version of the poem (the un-pronounce-able<\/a>, 9:42) and a shorter version I edited down for use in the 2002 US National Poetry Slam competition, with Team Ithaca (the story<\/a>, 3:16). Please distribute and re-mix at will! Info follows:<\/p>\n

The title of the work<\/strong>: the un-pronounce-able<\/a>, 9:42 and<\/strong> the story<\/a>, 3:16
\n The name of the creator\/copyright holder<\/strong>: nathaniel stern
\n Webpage or URL of the creator\/copyright holder<\/strong>: http:\/\/nathanielsternn.com<\/a>
\nThe year in which the artwork was produced<\/strong>: written 2001 and 2002, respectively; recorded 2007
\n Contact details of the copyright holder<\/strong>: http:\/\/nathanielstern.com\/details\/contact.html<\/a>
\nThe question about South African culture that I think it would be useful for kids to explore through this content<\/strong>: How can we “contaminate” or “infect” each other in good<\/em> ways? Can love, healing, and creativity be “infectious”?<\/p>\n
