Brendiranje gradova s nasilnom poviješću obilježeno je srcima, no kakva ljubav pogoduje uspostavljanju i unaprjeđivanju demokratskih zajednica – i kako umjetnici ovoj temi mogu pristupiti na vjerodostojan način? U Belfastu, u Sjevernoj Irskoj, dužnosnici su odlučili srušiti zgradu umjetničke škole, nazvanu po Orfeju, prvome umjetniku i graditelju mira koji je riskirao smrt za ljubav svoje žene i bio brutalno ubijen. Ovaj esej bavi se radom Sandre Johnston, koja se tamo školovala, a kasnije i predavala. Sama žrtva nasilja, svojim hrabrim performansima, instalacijama i videografijom analizira i prikazuje ljubav koja prihvaća: nešto što Martha Nussbaum ističe kao vjerodostojan odraz zrelog, demokratskog stava. ; City branding of contested cities with violent histories has taken hold of hearts, but what kind of love is conducive to establishing and furthering democratic communities - and how can artists approach this subject matter in a credible way? In Belfast, Northern Ireland, officials decided to demolish the art school's building, named after Orpheus, the first artist and peace-builder, who braved death for the love of his wife, and was brutally murdered. This essay reflects on the work of Sandra Johnston, who studied and then taught there. Herself a victim of violence, her courageous performance, installation and video work analyses and models accepting love: that which Martha Nussbaum put forward as credible reflection of a mature, democratic attitude.
