Igama negama, Inkosikazi, Uma kusho ngokwayo, Ubeka amandla angemuhle anjalo egameni legama ngokwalo elivela emithethweni yalo yomlando wobudlova basekhaya. Ngokuphikisana, nakuba, Lapho leli gama libekwe kwisembozo sephakethe elicwebezelayo lasebukhosini nendoda ethangini elimhlophe elibiwe, Kungazelelwe leli gama liba yi-shrug elula ethambekele encazelweni ekhomba i-athikili yokugqoka kusuka kunoma yikuphi ukucatshangelwa yinto esizithola sijwayela ngenxa yokugqoka kwansuku zonke. Akunandaba ukuthi uzama kangakanani ukuphindisela unkosikazi ukuze angasho lutho ngaphandle nje kwento okufanele ithengwe esitolo esilula, ukuchaza kabusha, Kufanele sikunikeze ngokweqiniso.

Lesi sihloko esithile sethangi sihambe ezizukulwaneni, ukuzithola ezingxoxweni njengengubo ebalulekile, futhi namanje, Kufanele sibhekane negama ngokwalo ngenkuthalo. Iningi, igama lomfazi yinto esibe yinto esiya kuyo. UJobel Pereira, Umculi obonakalayo waseNdiya kanye nomthwebuli wezithombe eMiami, ukhetha ukuvuselela lokhu ku-tank top kuphrojekthi yakhe, "Inkosikazi?" I-Pereira isebenzisa iqoqo lezithombe nezifundo zokuphatha ibinzana ngokunakekelwa okufanele.

Indawo yangaphakathi, "Inkosikazi?" UPereira wenza umsebenzi wokubeka inkhulumomphendvulwano phakathi komphakathi ukuze ekugcineni sibone ithangi phezulu ngaphandle kokuma kwayo kuthemu. Sonke singabona ingubo; I-Pereira ithatha isenzo ukuze ikubone ngenani kanye neguquko ngaphandle kwesisindo esingesihle ukuyigcina ku-crutch. Njengomculi waseNingizimu Asia, I-Pereira ibukeze leli gama nomngcele walo ngengubo ehlukile. "Ilensi yami eyingqayizivele ye-lens eseningizimu ye-Asia ebona amasiko angama-american africants apitutal kubuqiniso bale phrojekthi. Kusondela kuso njengomuntu wangaphandle, Ngifuna ukudweba ukufana phakathi kwezindlela ezahlukahlukene zokucindezelwa ezizibonakalisa emiphakathini ehlukene - ngengubo, ulimi, nezindlela zomphakathi, akin to uphawu 'lwenkosikazi'." I-Pereira ithi.

Ukubaluleka kwale phrojekthi kwakungeyona nje egameni lokuzinikezela kukaPereira ukuze avuseleleke kabusha, Kepha ngemizamo yokubambisana labo abaseduze kwakhe bekufanele babambe leli gama liphendule. Kusho uPereira, "Ngalesi sikhathi sokuhlola, Ngangenisa abangane bami ukuthi baphinde babuyisele ilebula yengubo, futhi banikela ngezindlela zokudala nezikhuthazayo, thanda "Unkosikazi-Lover" na- "isithokozi sozakwethu." Ngenkathi angisho ukuthi ngixazulule ngokuxazulula lolu daba eliyinkimbinkimbi, Ngikholwa ukuthi ngokukhulisa ukuqwashisa kanye nokukhuthaza inkhulumomphendvulwano, Singaqala ukuqoqa ushintsho oluhle. Ngemfundo kanye nengxoxo evulekile, Singalwela ukudicilela phansi ama-stereotypes alimazayo bese sidala indawo ehlanganisiwe nenenhlonipho, Kuqala ngolimi esilusebenzisayo."

I-Pereira ikhombisa ukuthi naphezu kwesendlalelo esiyinkimbinkimbi sethangi, Mina njengomphakathi singakushintsha ukukhanya okufakwe yi-athikili yezingubo. Singaqinisekisa ukuthi leli tank liphezulu - okufanayo okuhlela ukuhlelwa nemikhankaso - kusekelwe othandweni nasekuthembekeni futhi kuhlose ukumela wonke umuntu othintekile yigama kanye nengubo. "Sinamandla okubuyisa le nto yokugqoka futhi siphinde sandise ukulandisa kwaso," I-Pereira iyavuma.

Ngenkathi "Inkosikazi?" Iphrojekthi ingahle ivale, Izithombe zamamodeli zibonakale zisengozini ngezihloko zazo zethangi ngokusebenzisa isihlungi sefilimu se-sepia, UPereira ubambe ngaphezulu nje nje ngama-shot aphakathi ambalwa. Esikhundleni, UPereira uthathe ingxoxo ehlala isikhathi eside - ukhombe umphakathi wengxoxo uchithe izizukulwane, Ukusiphoqa ukuthi siphendule ngoshintsho kanye nokuhlolisisa kabusha ngale ndatshana yokugqoka sonke esiyaziyo sonke esikugcina kumakhabethe ethu. Lolo shintsho kungenzeka lungakaze lufike lapho nje kuthwebula izithombe zakhe, Kepha kungenzeka kube yinto esiyibona eminyakeni ezayo lapho lawo mapakheji aluhlaza wasebukhosini anamadoda asethangini le-ribbed ayaziwa ngokuthi "Abajabulayo" esikhundleni se, Well-Uyazi.
