Interesting. I don't think I'm missign anything if I don't use twitter frequently or at all. I see a lot of these posts on other social media. Word for word.

Selika Lazevski, a black horsewoman in Belle Époque Paris, 1891.
Little is known of her life but she is thought to have been a horsewoman who rode haute école at the Nouveau Cirque (1886-1926) on rue Saint-Honoré, Paris. Selika may not have been her real first name and there is a possibility that she took her surname Lazevski from the Polish circus horseman and haute école rider Valli de Laszewski and his French wife, Lara, who worked at the Nouveau Cirque during that period.

🚨 Sa voisine lui demande de porter sa robe jaune pour son exposition… Elle comprend pourquoi en arrivant.

Invitée à une exposition par sa voisine artiste, une femme accepte de porter une robe jaune à sa demande, sans vraiment savoir pourquoi. En découvrant les œuvres exposées, elle réalise avec émotion qu’elle est en réalité le sujet d’un des tableaux présentés.

La peinture la représente justement vêtue de cette célèbre robe jaune, immortalisée par le regard de son amie. Une surprise aussi touchante qu’inattendue qui a ému de nombreux internautes, séduits par cette belle histoire d’amitié. 💛🖼️ (via Legend)

The splendor of Benin civilization is timeless. I look back with pride and reverence at the achievements of my Edo ancestors.

Now feels more important than ever to imagine a brighter future.

Five years ago, we released ‘Dear Alice’. An encapsulation of a Solarpunk future for Chobani.

Even all these years later, we still get tagged in repurposed content for this by the Solarpunk community!

Unlike Cyberpunk or Steampunk, Solarpunk envisions a future that you'd actually probably quite like to live in! It's not intended to be just an aesthetic, but a political movement towards a brighter and greener future.

Our short depicts humans, animals and nature all living and working harmoniously with non-invasive technology. It's a world where technology is used to enhance tried-and-true farming practices rather than to replace them with something that degrades nature. Solarpunk doesn't mean everyone has to live on a farm. Civilisations can still exist, and if you look closely, the buildings in the city incorporate greenery to bring nature to brick-and-mortar.

The central focus is on a woman narrating a letter written by a grandmother to her granddaughter about how she wants to leave behind a more sustainable future for her. It’s a nostalgic look towards a new era of agriculture, with beautifully crafted backgrounds, delicate animation and a completely unique score by long-time Ghibli composer (and absolute legend) Joe Hisaishi.

Rwanda keeps setting the bar for what local materials can do when paired with genuine architectural intention.

Komera Leadership Center. Eastern Province, Rwanda. BE_Design.

The roof forms, brick patterns, and woven eucalyptus screens are drawn directly from Imigongo, a traditional art form originating from this region. The building does not borrow from a foreign visual language. It speaks the one that already exists here.

The flexible interior is the most intelligent part. Large hinging translucent panels transform the same space into three separate classrooms, a community meeting hall, or a large event space for performances and ceremonies. One building. Multiple functions. No wasted square footage.

The vast majority of materials were locally sourced. The workforce was local. Women made up an average of 40 percent of the construction team, with on-site skills training, fair wages, and safety equipment provided throughout.

This is architecture as economic intervention. The building did not just serve the community when it opened. It trained and paid the community while it was being built.

Komera means to stand strong, to have courage. The building earns that name.

I can't believe there was a time I compulsively used Twitter. Now it takes an effort to remember it's still here.
