THIS is the final result to my art project ‘hidden heritage’ in the stages from being created to exhibited i think this is the most deep thought piece of work i have ever done so far.
I got this idea from a class project ‘stitched up’ where the project (basically) was to pick a subject that means allot to you and present it using sewing of some sort. i had allot of ideas for this project but settled on unjust events, i the went deeper into unjust events and focused on unjust events in race and origins from there came…
'hidden heritage' a piece made from unbleached calico used to represent parchment with writing, the writing came from the full version ( i will attach on) of 'hidden heritage'. A spoken word poetry based on my hidden history I writ wiles doing this project, for this project. As the full vision could not get sewn on i cut it the spoken word short.
'Hidden heritage' is, my interpretation of on a sheet of parchment( crated from unbleached calico) -witch has been batted through time but survived to tell people what it was like in slavery days and written in a poetical style- from the 1800's when black slavery was popular in both Europe and America. The parchment talks about the hidden heritage people are most embarrassed about (both black and white) witch is kept hidden, and yes its well hidden ( i know because i had to research this in grate detail but still only scratched the surface of this taboo) that subject is jeweled heritage people (Jeweled heritage is mix race but i prefer to be called jeweled heritage) , the heritage most recent race but the only race (i believe) to have the darkest history, form the way we was treated as humans to how we (our ancestors) where made i think we also have the least history due to hidden accounts from black white and jeweled heritage people.
'Hidden heritage' goes deep into my heritage's history where i attempt to go into the mind jeweled heritage person who lived in the 1800's explaining how we was created, treated and lived wiles at the same time i give my opinion on being jeweled heritage person living today and also give historical information as accurate as i can with the little knowledge i have on jeweled heritage history in a poetical form.
with ‘hidden heritage’ I aim to educate everyone mainly people who are jeweled heritage and especially the youths because i think its time people asked about there history and found some answers its time people got the truth i think its time to make a change by understanding and accept the past and i think this quote sums it up
”See cause if you forget where you come from, heheh You’re never gonna make it where you’re goin, aheh
Because you lost the reality of yourself”
"All That I Got Is You ghostface killah"

this is the full spoken word piece
Hidden heritage
Jeweled heritage, biracial, multicultural, mixed race, half cast, mulatto, half breed, mud-blood … oww These are the names that follow us around. But nigger this nigger that because we halfway between way black but what about the other Your talking like I am only my mother But what about my father. Across from forren lands he came sewed his seed and out popped me second time round. 9 months, for the future they call me dunce. No confused is what it was.
Because my blood holds the history of mother and father and my own fucked up hidden history too. But its funny how that part is locked up an brushed away . WHO ARE YOU! TO HIDE MY TRUTH
Bet they diddnt tell you the part where
They fucked over are formothers around, from the back in the front and all over the plantation, left them to suffer and bring up a hidden generation, of kids no father , ‘who’s daddy’ they ask her , for the answer , to never be told to As the truth is cold Filled with hate , anger, guilt and disgust Because baby’s father had an undesirable lust for her so he thought with his penis and viciously thrust-ed her and regardless of the consequence he bust in her To tell it too the kid she created if it wasent killed at birth for being the product of rape will be like.. cremating the little dignity and pride she has left How can she survive when she sees your daddy through your eyes And If you ever found out then you would realize why she could not look you eye to eye Or how
They treated us differently because are skin color was half way lighter than she . My mother’s nodal race but not as light as father’s powerful race so we where outcasts from both sides …halfbreed unseen mud-bloods no love so half way discriminated both-ways is what we became. House keeper’s and nanny’s …cuz the plantation was too good for us ohh but not good enough to live in the house so we was in the house but not liveing in it but slaving innit.suppes that daddys way of bringing up his kid, rite …
And why
When the brave smart ‘half breeds’-as you called them- got diluted by generations of white men got the chance run, they ran Like bolt and blake Neva stopping daym From there plantation to another plantation But with a twist, using fake identity to fit in with the white man you see so they could be treated equally no equality obviously we got found out causing chaos White man getting vexed prosecuting us as-well there own blood ‘cuz’ of lack of trust Because he had a African looking nose or his olive skin was dark enough to call half breed yo Or the white man wanted more akers so he accuse the slave master of his blood being mudded to turn him to a slave calming the land as his ‘cuz’ That’s buisnises and all cort-case was unjust for the one acused of faking white because the one drop rule was something they held on to tight keeping the superior supreme white an clean from the dirty dis-colourd nasty Negros
One drop for those who don’t know Is the rule that states basically one drop of black blood in you makes you black Nigga They diddent mention that did they?
So don’t tell me about my own blood And don’t tell me that I am black so I come from the hood And don’t tell me that I am white because when u get mad at me lets put it like this I an not a honkey right
And don’t tell me my history when you don’t evin know but u think you do. ……..because your an expert on skin color and origins because you looked at me for 2 second from a mile off a few days ago…
So yeah i am Jeweled heritage, biracial, multicultural, mixed race, half cast, mulatto, half breed, mud-blood i will accept all thees happily because i ‘ent’ letting go of my hidden history because you embariced to embrace the your sins you made accidentally I am the new race mix race and I ‘ent’ no fucking disgrace .
