Baby has gotten good at identifying “dada” but still struggling with surrealism, cubism, even baroque.

One thing people get wrong about fashion sustainability is reducing it to fabric choice. Sustainability is bigger than whether something is cotton or polyester. It’s about trade-offs across the entire lifecycle: production> durability > consumption> disposal/waste.

“Polyester = bad, cotton = good” is a terrible oversimplification of what it actually entails because both have environmental costs and neither is inherently good or bad in isolation.

2/2 wrt grants, from my experience writing/receiving grants + sitting on local govt arts grant panels, some grants would ask you to use part of the money to fund community events related to the subject matter (eg talks, screenings, classes, etc) which is where the more didactic education can happen if that’s what the artist wants.

[Imana Gunawan @imanafg]

the education imo happens not in a didactic “here’s what you need to know about x” way, but it has the potential to immerse the audience in abstract ideas/ perspectives abt a particular subject and push them to reflect on those ideas, esp when combined with other elements of the show like music, speech, visuals, lighting, program notes, etc 1/2

I spent sixteen months reporting this story. It was deep, painful, and at times unbearable.

It follows how surveillance tech is rewriting Gaza in real time — and what it’s doing to the people inside it. Read in @NYMag

The New Yorker story is chilling: shutting down USAID has already killed 600,000 people, most of them children.

For no reason other than Elon Musk’s ego, Marco Rubio’s complicity, & Republican Members of Congress’ cult-like loyalty to Trump. Devastating.
