P.S. ARTS celebrates Lights On Afterschool with SpongeBob

P.S. ARTS celebrates Lights On Afterschool with SpongeBob

By Oscar Navarrete, program coordinator, Community, at P.S. Arts.

P.S. ARTS is excited to collaborate with the Afterschool Alliance and Nickelodeon in celebration of the 20th anniversary of Lights on Afterschool and SpongeBob Squarepants’ 20th year on-air. Together, we are working to shine a light on the richness that afterschool programs can add to students’ lives.

Strong afterschool programs create dynamic spaces for students that can improve the quality of their educational experience as a whole. Many students attend afterschool programs because they are in need of safe, structured environments after-school while their parents are still at work, others are searching for extra-curricular activities—whatever the reason, afterschool programs provide various avenues for engaged learning. The arts, in particular, serve as a powerful vehicle to navigate those avenues and support students in their development.

P.S. ARTS is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children by providing arts education to underserved public schools and communities. The bulk of our instruction happens during regular school hours, but in recognition of the importance of after-school programs, we provide powerful Theater Arts instruction through our Extended Learning program. Our Inside Out Community Arts (IOCA) program aims to immerse youth in theatre, movement, arts, and media experiences while promoting social and emotional development.

Our collaboration with Lights on Afterschool and Nickelodeon merges our advocacy for after-school programs, creativity, and the arts by way of seven different SpongeBob-themed art projects grounded in a Creativity Learning Framework that advances visual art skills through innovation, imagination, and play. The learning framework provides background into each of the six most common creativity characteristics in fun, accessible activities designed for all ages. Check out and download the activities on the Afterschool Alliance website and join us in celebration of Lights On!

The Afterschool Alliance is a nonprofit public awareness and advocacy organization working to ensure that all children and youth have access to quality afterschool programs.

SpongeBob SquarePants Called a 'Violent' And 'Racist' Colonizer in University of Washington Professor's Academic Article

For fans of SpongeBob SquarePants, the beloved Nickelodeon animated series is just, as the theme song says, about a square yellow sponge living in a pineapple under the sea, his world one of "nautical nonsense" that has delighted fans of all ages for 20 years. Not everyone sees it in such a simple and innocuous light, however. For University of Washington professor Holly M. Barker, SpongeBob and the other characters inhabiting his world in Bikini Bottom such as Squidward Tentacles and Patrick Star aren't just harmless entertaining cartoon icons -- their "violent" and "racist" colonizers.

Yes, you read that right.

In an article entitled "Unsettling SpongeBob and the legacies of Violence on Bikini Bottom" published in "The Contemporary Pacific: A Journal of Island Affairs", Barker presents an argument that SpongeBob SquarePants as well as the other characters in the series are normalizing the taking of land while also contributing to the erasure of the indigenous people living there, specifically referring to the location of Bikini Bottom being a real, non-fiction place.

"SpongeBob SquarePants and his friends play a role in normalizing the settler colonial takings of indigenous lands while erasing the ancestral Bikinian people from their nonfiction homeland," Barker writes (via Fox News).

She goes on to note that the colonization of Bikini Bottom is "violent" and "racist". She also makes the claim that the series is a whitewashed version of the real-life activities carried out by the American military against native populations in the Pacific.

To understand Barker's argument, one has to understand a bit of American and world history as well as a popular fan theory about the Nickelodeon series. On SpongeBob SquarePants, the series is set in the undersea world known as Bikini Bottom. The location takes its name from the real-world Bikini Atoll -- something that SpongeBob voice actor Tom Kenny confirmed in 2015 in an interview with HuffPost where he noted that Bikini Bottom is "kind of named after Bikini Atoll". The real-world Bikini Atoll is a coral reef in the Marshall Islands that consists of 23 islands surrounding a central lagoon. Between 1946 and 1958, the United States military detonated 23 nuclear devices there both in the air and underwater. The inhabitants of Bikini Atoll were relocated in 1946 and some allowed to return in 1970 but it was soon discovered that the area remained highly radioactive and were removed again in 1980. The area remains mostly unhabitable to this day.

A popular fan theory about SpongeBob suggests that the world of Bikini Bottom is inhabited by creatures who were mutated by that nuclear testing. Specifically, a recent fan theory suggested that Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy were Navy divers accidentally caught in the Bikini Atoll tests -- specifically that the radiation had mutated and shrunk them. The general theory about Bikini Bottom inhabitants being mutated because of the nuclear testing has been largely debunked by Kenny, but Barker's issues with SpongeBob go a bit further. She also points out cultural appropriation of general Pacific culture, including the use of Hawaiian-style shirts, the pineapple houses, the use of tikis and the moai of Easter Island.

None of that is to say that Barker doesn't understand that SpongeBob SquarePants is just a innocent cartoon and that the writers and creators probably didn't think about the colonization aspect of things. Her concerns center around the lack of acknowledgement that "Bikini Bottom and Bikini Atoll were not for the taking" and that it leads children to "become acculturated to an ideology that includes the U.S. character SpongeBob residing on another people's homeland."

"We should be uncomfortable with a hamburger-loving American community's occupation of Bikini's lagoon and the ways that it erodes every aspect of sovereignty," Barker writes.

A rep for Nickelodeon did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment. Fox News' attempts to reach Tom Kenny -- who voices SpongeBob Squarepants -- have been unsuccessful.

What do you think? Let me know your thoughts on Barker's arguments in the comments below.

Major Disappointment – An entitled super celebrity from the planet Cellphie.

The Mash Down – The final round takes place in Mega City where the players must fight the Monster Superstar, break the Prize Buildings, and gather Power Pods to throw into the Mega Laser's Mega Reactor so that it can send the Monster Superstar back to Master Mayhem's world. The Mayor of Mega City would often promote one of Mega City's locations which results in her getting injured by the Monster Superstar. During the fight, there are Boom Buildings in which if they are destroyed, all the prize money will be lost. The players can even call upon their Mega Mech Battle Suit's special abilities to help them in battle. In addition, the players will obtain a Mayhem Pod which will summon a rival Monster Superstar to fight the featured Monster Superstar for a short time. If the hero manages to beat the featured Monster Superstar, break any prize buildings, and load the Mega Reactor with Power Pods before time runs out, the Earth will be saved and the hero will be crowned Earth's Champion and win the prizes. If the featured Monster Superstar wins, Master Mayhem will destroy the world unless the player sacrifices themselves in the Chamber of Doom as part of the agreement Master Mayhem made with the Intergalactic Battle Alliance. Either way, the players will go home a hero.
