Phil Black was a drag queen with a long and successful career, but his greatest contributions to drag was his annual "Funmaker's Ball." While Harlem already had a long history with drag balls, the Funmaker's ball was a black-tie event where queens from all over the U.S. would come to show off, compete in pageants, and just have fun and be themselves.

Starting in 1947 until Black's death in 1975, the Funmaker's Ball would lay the groundwork for the modern drag ballroom scene.

Interview by Margaret Werner for Movie Weekly Magazine, November 1923

Buster is a dear, pleasant boy, and I know that if we had had him all to ourself in some secluded nook, the confidences would have flowed like beer at a German picnic. But as it happened-

In a corner of the private sanctum above referred to, a young man of slender build rose politely, and we were shaking the hand of Buster Keaton. Of course, we were holding our breath, waiting to see whether he would smile, and smile he did. For the benefit of those who have heaved the jolly chuckle and bellowed the lusty laugh at the antics of this solemn-faced funmaker, let us assure you that if there are smiles more spontaneous and friendly than Buster's, we'd like to see them.

However, as we were saying, this interview was conducted under difficulties. Here we were, face to face with our victim, with a large man smoking a huge cigar listening attentively to every word, and secretaries flitting in and out, and numerous other distractions. Our spirits were sinking lower and lower, but we stuck manfully to our guns, and began our attack thus:

"Mr. Keaton, tell us something of your career."

Had we asked him to do a nose dive from the window, the poor dear could not have looked more horrified. The blue eyes grew wide as a frightened child's and he looked so imploringly that we were tempted to say: "There, there, sonny. Mama won't spank."

But he told us that he became a vaudeville performer at the ripe age of five, being one of the Four Keatons, whom thousands of you will remember. Then he went into the movies with Fatty Arbuckle, using the same funny line he had been using on the stage.

"But here's what's really agitating all of us, Mr. Keaton. How can you possibly go through all that clowning and make us all nearly pass out with mirth, and all the while keep your face as straight as a stick. What's the trick?"

"There's no trick to it, really," he replied. "You see, when I was pulling my stuff on the vaudeville stage, it would look terrible for me to grin from ear to ear every time I did something funny. That queers it, you know."

We nodded our complete understanding.

"And so," continued Buster, "I learned at a very early age that I simply was not allowed to grin while working. And what with the habit of years growing on me, it's really no trick at all. So that is how I got this way."

And he handed us some pictures of his young son.

"Don't you think he resembles-er-Norma?" he asked us.

"No sir!" we answered. "This baby has the Keaton expression!"

This time we were rewarded, not by a smile, but by a hearty, delighted laugh.

The large man with the huge cigar handed around some cigarettes.

We wished he would go away. Wasn't there a ball game this afternoon?

But he merely settled back more comfortably, and we tried to forget his presence.

Buster was perched on a bookkeeper's stool, his hair tumbling into his eyes, and his fingers played with a silver locket which he wore on his watch chain (he also had a watch, though). "What's that, Buster?" we inquired.

He handed us watch, chain, locket and all, and we snapped the locket open to discover another picture of the baby! Great heavens, what will he do when he has three or four? Keep pictures of them in his hatband, we suppose.

"What are you aiming to make of this young hopeful?" we asked. "Is he going to be a comedian, too, or will Shakespeare be more in his line?"

"Neither one, I hope." Buster twisted his feet around the legs of the bookkeeper's stool and regarded the picture fondly. "This kid is going to be his own boss, and whatever profession appeals to him when he grows up, well, that's the profession he's going to ornament. President or plumber, it's what little Buster chooses. That's the way they're bringing them up nowadays. The individuality of the child, and all that. The kid's recovering now from a long siege of work. There were three generations of us in Hospitality, which I've just finished--my dad, my son, and myself."

Buster is in New York for the World Series, and as we said good-bye, he told us he was going to dash right uptown to the game. We breezed past the staring typists, and ardently longed for a chance for a real tête-à-tête with the engaging Buster, the result to be called, "Buster Keaton as His Friends Know Him."

What were your thoughts on Danganronpa before you watched Game Grumps play it?

Mostly not great tbh. All I remember is the PSAs and subsequent funmaking.

“Bryson Funmaker”, 2020, Inkjet print and beadwork

The Museum of Fine Arts St. Petersburg is currently showing an impressive collection of work from photographer Tom Jones. The photos, in multiple series, focus on Native American identity, history, cultural appropriation, and the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin, of which Jones is a member. The work engages visually while also being informative.

From the museum’s press release for Tom Jones: Here We Stand–

For over twenty years, Tom Jones has created a visual record and exploration of his Ho-Chunk community. Born in North Carolina and raised in Orlando after a short stint in Minneapolis, Jones returned to the Midwest, moving to Wisconsin at age 15. He then made his way to Chicago for graduate school at Columbia College. Jones’s father worked with Kodak and owned a photography lab, helping shape the artist’s understanding of the practical aspects of photography from an early age. During graduate school, Jones began an ongoing photographic essay on the contemporary life of his Ho-Chunk community, beginning first with the elders.

The show comprises over a dozen series, ranging from the documentary to the conceptual. Of his series on Veterans’ memorials at the annual Black River Falls Pow-Wow, Jones says, “I was interested in the way families made very conscious decisions about how they want their loved ones memorialized.” Other series include the emotionally intimate, though larger than life, beaded portraits. “Beading is a metaphor for our ancestors watching over us. I am also referencing an experience I had when I was about 8 or 9 years old. My mother took me to see a Sioux medicine man named Robert Stead. He led the call to the spirits, the women began to sing, and the ancestors appeared as orbs of light. This event inspired the series Strong Unrelenting Spirits.“

Jones’s photographs examine identity and geographic place with an emphasis on the experience of Native American communities. He is interested in how American Indian material culture is portrayed through commodification and popular culture. Much of his work counteracts and corrects decades of misinformation and misrepresentation of American Indians, particularly targeting the field of U.S. history. Jones’s critical assessment of the romanticized representation of Native peoples in photography re-examines historic pictures taken by white photographers. This reassessment questions the assumptions about identity within the American Indian culture by non-natives and natives alike. “While each of Jones’s series is distinctly different, the message remains consistent: the Ho-Chunk are not vanishing or frozen in time,” said Dr. Jane Aspinwall, Senior Curator of Photography. “Jones’s photographs emphasize a solid, generational commitment to family, tribal community, and land. His photographs reclaim appropriated images and set the historical record straight.”

Below are some selections from a few of the series in the exhibition.

"Trenton and Roger Littlegeorge", 2011

"Dorothy Crowfeather", 1999

"Dear America" series

About the Dear America series pictured above-

Using each line from the first two verses of the song, America ("My Country Tis of Thee") as the title of fourteen of the works in the Dear America series, Jones questions whose history is being propagated here. With dry wit and an unfailing commitment to truth, Jones exposes atrocities like the massive effort by the U.S. government to assimilate Native American children to non-Native culture, the merciless seizing of Native lands, and the mass hanging of thirty-eight Sioux and Ho-Chunk men under President Lincoln in 1862. He also highlights Native American identity in relation to cowboy culture, the thoughtless misappropriation of Native American customs, and the influence of the Iroquois Confederacy on the U. S. Constitution. Jones's aim is to broaden the "traditional" historical American narrative to be more representative of all people, especially the original inhabitants of this land.

About the Ho-Chunk Veterans Memorials, pictured above-

“I wanted to do this photographic essay to honor our veterans… One in four American Indian males is a United States veteran. Ho-Chunks have fought in every war for the United States except for the War of 1812. The Ho-Chunks did this even though they were not granted the right to vote until 1924, and during the Indian Removal Act, were removed at least seven times from Wisconsin by the United States government. This is the conviction we have as a people… I honor these people who give of themselves freely to protect this land. Traditionally, Ho-Chunks are taught to live their lives for the betterment of others. The veterans have done this.’ -Tom Jones

About the “Native” Commodity” series (pictured above)-

The Wisconsin Dells, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the state, is home to spectacular natural scenery and the largest concentration of waterparks. Located on Ho-Chunk ancestral land, the area is now highly commercialized, with much of its identity resting on the appropriation of Native American stereotypical tropes. In this series, Jones documented this unabashed use of Native American symbols, images, and place names in advertising and popular culture. The sale of “Native American” crafts made in China, the liberal use of names of historically important figures like Black Hawk, and the indiscriminate mix of tribal communities into one conglomerate-tipis from the Plains next to totem poles from the Pacific Northwest next to Pueblo pottery. The Dells serve as a microcosm for how images of Native Americans are reproduced and reframed into a collective memory that is often distorted. Jones wryly noted that none of the Native American objects feature anything specifically attributable to the Ho-Chunk Nation.

This exhibition has been extended until 9/10/23.

Event 1: Kacang Puteh

Blog post 1

A large part of why I enrolled for this module was because I wanted to develop a better understanding of UX/UI design so I could develop video games with a better understanding of user experience. AS such, I decided to attend a talk held by Kacang Puteh to be my event of interest for this reflection.

Kacang Puteh is a game design group based in Singapore that hosts game jams and design talks in the hopes of encouraging the growth of creativity within the local game design scene. The talk I attended had 7 game designers give brief 6 minute presentations on their own philosophies of game design. This talk was mostly done to provide food for thought to group members that intended to participate in an upcoming game jam, so it also provided time slots for ice breakers to encourage attendants to warm up to asking questions and discussing their own views on game design with the speakers later on.

The 6 talks are summarised as follows:

It’s all made up: Improv and Games - Zhiming Chen

This talk discussed the use of improv as a design tool during the ideating process for developing a game. The speaker described that this was especially effective at developing concepts and writing very quickly, and how traditional improv practices like “Yes and”-ing with your creative team encouraged collaboration when brainstorming. I honestly felt that this approach didn’t feel all too sound, but reflecting back on my experiences with other game design classes have led me to realise that a more fun approach like this may actually help to encourage an energetic start to get creative juices flowing.

However, I do still feel that improv should be carefully applied since biases may influence the output of such sessions; though kinks such as those should definitely be ironed out as the design is iterated on and improved later.

Games as a Form of Torture - Jared Poon

The speaker discusses that video games are not always necessarily “fun” but may also be “torturous” experiences that are meant to draw out traditionally negative emotions like grief, frustration, depression and more. The thesis that the speaker offers here is that games shouldn’t be stereotyped as funmaking experiences, but also valuable mediums to explore more serious themes; which is corroborated by the speaker’s sharing his own game currently in development that discusses the struggle between a nation’s development and the lives this development ends up overhauling (like a mix of a HDB simulator and Papers Please)

Creating Safe Spaces in Games - Leow Yumi

As a contrast to the more stressful approach to designing games, this talk discussed games as a space to allow players to breathe; essentially being a space for catharsis and stress relief. Considering this talk in relation to the previous one got me to think a little more about the kinds of experiences a game is meant to have and how the design serves these experiences. A calming game should ideally not have particularly difficult mechanics in place, and an application meant for a particular function that would be used on the go should similarly serve that purpose by not being difficult to use when the user is mobile.

Sandboxes in historical fencing - Russell Wee

I think this was one of the more interesting talks for me. The speaker here discussed how, in his HEMA studio, they would spar with different rulesets when they wanted to introduce a challenge during duels. He argued that this gave rise to very different experiences each time, and discussed how limitation both breeds creativity and even encourages very different experiences.

Games of Chance - Monetization and the Gambler's Fallacy - Jared Cheah

This talk discusses micro transactions and the dark patterns some games apply to trick users into purchasing power ups that do not really do anything. Candy Crush was the key example discussed in the talk. The speaker cited how its multitudes of randomly generated levels lull players into a loop then advertises powerups when they fail certain levels. The issue lies in how the game claims that these are “power ups” when these do not actually provide reliable bonuses to the gameplay as every level is randomly generated. If I had to place this into a particular taxonomy, I would say that this is a form of Sneaking since the game actively markets power ups as valuable resources when they really do not give the players an edge.

Everything Goes in The Square Hole: The Gordian Knot of Unleashing Creativity - Timothi Lim

This talk didn't feel quite as structured as the rest from a design standpoint, but I think I did get some valuable insights on user playtesting for video games that I did end up porting over to my user evaluation process. The speaker here used the Gordian Knot and Alexander the Great's solution as metaphors in the game design process. Sometimes designers might find that they cannot quite make out what the solution is to a particular design problem, and the player (taking the role of Alexander) coming along and playing things in the way the tend to do can reveal solutions that set designers back into the perspective of being more user centric in their thinking. In the midfi stage, user evaluations helped reveal to me how I could incorporate better interactions for users by observing someone who had a high proficiency with mobile apps, thereby helping me untangle the knot that was developing better user interactions.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 6 at 5 PM Cornelius Projects will host a fundraiser for The 16th MANY WINTERS GATHERING OF ELDERS Gathering for the Gathering: An Acoustic Fundraiser with Louis Robles Jr., Josh Andujo, George Funmaker, Juan Castillo, The Mourners, Chencho, Sallee Free, + more. Food by LA Food Not Bombs Suggested donation $20

As we round the corner towards Indigenous People’s Day (the “holiday” formerly known as Columbus Day) - and the fissures and tensions in the collapsing dominant culture widen - Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island and their fellow travelers will once again bring forth traditional wisdom and teachings at the 16th Annual Many Winters Gathering Of Elders (MWGOE). One of the messages that rang through all the previous MWGOE's was the importance of autonomy and grass roots activism. It is in that spirit that we gather from the four directions to raise funds for this sacred and necessary cause. As one of the Elders once said, “Talk your prayer, sing your prayer, dance your prayer, work your prayer!” With the help and support of the community, we will gather musicians, speakers, artists, and soulful troublemakers.
