18.01.2022 Cleveland Europeans (2020) Digital Art Leon Lester This artwork is a redesign of the team name and logo for the Cleveland Indians Baseball team franchise that h...as long used the name Indians with accompanying cartoon logo of a Native American Indian person. It has long been criticised for perpetuating Native American stereotypes and been the subject of many protests over many decades. The artwork is an attempt to show the absurdity of such name when is it created from the perspective of another culture who might equally have seen it as reasonable to appropriate the identity of another group of people for their own purposes without the permission or consensus of that group of people. Furthermore, this artwork is designed as a symbol of remembrance of the destructive relations that existed between Native American Indians and early European Settlers in North America. The European colonies and the newly declared United States set about committing genocide on the Native American Indian population. Genocide was typified by mass-execution, biological warfare including British agents giving tribes blankets that were intentionally contaminated with smallpox, forced removal from homelands, incarceration, indoctrination of non-indigenous values, forced surgical sterilisation of native women and prevention of religious practices. Amongst the earliest and harshest treatment of the Native Americans came from Christian sects, such as the Puritans, who saw themselves as those who would lead Native Americans on to the true path to God. Throughout the sixteenth century to the American Revolution, the goal of English missionaries was to reduce the Native Americans from savagery to what the Christians regarded as civility. Many Christians believed the quickest way to do this was to rid the world of this so-called savagery, either by conversion of the Native Indian people to Christianity or their murder. See more

09.01.2022 Sacred Flag of Israel (2020) Metal and Cotton Leon Lester (As seen on Bondi Beach, Australia)... (Change player to HD for better vision) Sacred Flag of Israel is an updated version of the current flag of Israel designed to reflect more precisely the history of the region and the sacred geometry that is used in the flag. The origins of the Star of David stem from the sacred geometry that is said to have originated in Ancient Egypt when Aliens landed on earth and brought with them the intrinsic teachings of the scientific structure of the Universe. While the Aliens built marvels like the Pyramids, it is said they also encapsulated the most significant teachings in what came to be known as the Ark of the covenant, a chest containing tablets on which sacred knowledge was transcribed. It is argued that this chest was removed from Egypt and later came to be stored in Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, Israel before it was destroyed. One of the most significant understandings said to be held in the Ark was the structure of the energy field of the physical world represented by the star tetrahedron. A star tetrahedron, also called a Merkaba in Ancient Egypt is now being shown by Science to perfectly describe the arrangement of physical matter. The most common arrangement of the Water molecule is in the geometric shape of the Star Tetrahedron for instance. The Star Tetrahedron can also be seen as the three dimensional depiction of the Star of David, the symbol of Judaism. The Scared Flag of Israel is thus a version of the Israeli flag that is designed to better reflect the sacred geometry behind the Star of David as well as the physical world that is now being revealed by Science and that which also has its origins in Ancient Egypt.
