We are ugly but we have the music?

I’ve known of Leonard Cohen’s music for 20 years. The first concert I ever attended was his in Helsinki in 1988, and now, exactly 20 years later, I had the chance to see him play again. His music has been important for me in different turning points of my life, and it is again now.

This portrait of his was made by Diana Blok, who will be teaching us Foto Autonoom.

And clenching your fist

For the ones like us

Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty

You fixed yourself

You said well never mind

We are ugly but we have the music…
