The Monroe Doctrine didn’t end empire—it rebranded it.
Smedley Butler said the quiet part out loud: U.S. interventions weren’t defense, they were rackets for capital.
Empire didn’t vanish. It changed management.

Photo of artist Jenie Gao hand carving a large-scale woodblock of a homing pigeon. Jenie is wearing a dark grey beret and grey clothing, sitting in an art studio in front of their artwork, a yellow poster based on the Guerrilla Girls artwork that reads, "Do women have to be white to get into the Met. Museum? In 1989, the Guerrilla Girls famously stated that less than 5% of the artists in the Modern Art Sections were women. In 2021, women of color account for less than half of one percent of artists in US museum collections, one tenth of white women's representation 32 years ago."

Jenie Gao wearing an inky white lab coat holding a large printing roller, inking up a half-elliptical woodblock in a fountain roll of jade green and vermilion red.

Jenie Gao holding up an edition of their print on cotton muslin canvas, Pigeon, from The Negotiation Table: Cycle | Breaking and Making. The image is of a homing pigeon flying upwards against a background of flame like shapes. The artwork is designed to resemble a piece of hand-carved jade.

The tabletop in progress. Jenie's two large-scale woodblocks are of Fènghuáng (mythological Chinese bird) and the homing pigeon fly in an eternal circular chase. The blocks, printed in gradients of light jade green and vermilion red, are embedded in the surface of a reclaimed Chippendale style table. Chippendale is attributed to a British furniture designer and British / American colonial aesthetic. However, this furniture was culturally appropriated from Ming Dynasty Chinese furniture. Europeans coveted Eastern goods so greatly that they funded shipping expeditions in search of a shorter route to Asia. In other words, the western expansion project and colonization of Turtle Island or what people today know as North America, is inextricable from Europeans' desire to possess and subdue Asia, a struggle that continues to shape politics and conquest to this day.

I carved woodcuts of the mythological Fènghuáng and Pigeon and embedded them in a Chippendale table to resemble inlaid jade.

Britain needs to abandon its delusions of empire – giving up the Chagos Islands is a good start | Simon Jenkins Labour says it is committed to other ‘overseas territories’, but why? These colonial-era dreams are costing the country dear, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

“The British empire still sends governments mad,” opines Simon Jenkins on the subject of the Chagos Islands, Falklands, other overseas territories, and how British “Delusions of grandeur never cease.”
