Iimvakalelo zokwenyani ngumdlali onqabileyo kwiindlela zokubaleka zanamhlanje. Nangona kunjalo kwiSikolo sikaRhulumente sokubuyela kwishedyuli yeVeki yeMfashini yaseNew York, uDao-Yi Chow kunye noMaxwell Osborne babetha intambo yemvakalelo yokwenene kwingqokelela yefashoni ehlakaniphile, enomdla eboniswe ngaphakathi komongo womyalezo obanzi.
Ngaphambi konyulo lukamongameli, aba babini bazibonakalisa njengabayili bezopolitiko abazimisele ukusebenzisa umgaqo weenqwelomoya njengeqonga leembono zabo kunye neempahla zabo. Apha, ukuphefumlelwa kwabo, okanye mhlawumbi, ngokuchanekileyo ngakumbi, inkuthazo yabo yokuyila, yayikukuqwalaselwa kwemida. “Sisandul’ ukuthetha ngezi zakhiwo zenziwe ngabantu ukugcina abantu omnye komnye, kwangaxeshanye sijonge eli hlabathi apho ukuba ungumntu, ungummi wehlabathi,” utshilo uChow.
Yena kunye no-Osborne baye bazisa i-motif ngomculo ongaphezulu kunomsindo ngesandi esithambileyo esiqhutywa rhoqo yiNtsebenziswano yeSikolo sikaRhulumente uTwin Shadow. Isiqwenga siphinde sasebenza kwakhona iWoody Guthrie opus enkulu, umhobe owake wakhona wokuqukwa. Kuwo wonke lo mboniso, amazwi afanayo aye adlalwa ngokuphindaphindiweyo, kunye nodidi lomqeqeshi osoloko ephazamisa ukuyalela ukuba aqale phantsi. Apha endleleni, asizange sive amazwi athi, “lo mhlaba wenzelwe mna nawe.”
