Film & TV / Mykki Blanco Guest EditFilm & TV / Mykki Blanco Guest EditMykki Blanco speaks on white supremacy in WYPIPOThe artist dons full whiteface to imitate white archetypes including right-wing politicians, neighbourhood watchers, and a hip-hop fan who doesn’t want to talk about raceShareLink copied ✔️August 23, 2018August 23, 2018TextDeclan Rhys MassicottProducerBec Evans “I’m throwing this brunch, do you think you can bring some people of colour? A black girl, maybe if we had an Asian girl!” says Meredith down the phone, shortly before picking it up again and calling the police on a black family in the park after feeling “a bit troubled” by their presence. Inspired by stories like #PermitPatty, a white woman who called the police on a black kid selling water, and #BarbecueBecky, a woman who reported black kids for cooking food, Meredith is a character played by Mykki Blanco in a new Dazed film WYPIPO, created as part of Mykki’s guest edit. In the film Mykki dons full white face, and plays the role of three characters – Meredith, Donald Trump, and a dude who loves hip hop but doesn’t want to discuss race. A mix of surreal, sincere, and hilarious, the film features added commentary from Mykki, creative director Jean Paul Paula and Sja’iesta.
