Woke Culture as a Minimalist Mall Renovation for America:


"Los Angeles’ Hollywood & Highland Shopping Complex is undergoing a minimalist makeover that will erase its Faux Mesopotamian Kitsch aesthetic, including its iconic Elephant Statues. The shopping complex’s aesthetic was inspired by the Babylonian themed set of D.W Griffith’s 1916 silent film Intolerance, which has become a target of cancel culture. While many of LA’s Postmodernist malls have been demolished or underwent minimalist renovations, this is the first time that a minimalist mall renovation has been linked explicitly to woke iconoclasm, as there was a campaign during last year’s BLM protests by political activists as well as some LA architects to have the statues removed. It is noted that the film Intolerance was a response to criticisms of D.W Griffith’s previous work, Birth of a Nation, presenting a more exotic setting as a critique of bigotry."
