In Another Time Magazine

Pialö Ubangî Despite having millions of speakers, there are few books written in the language ‘sango’ My mother tongue, ‘Sango’, is the 2nd official language of The Central African Republic after French. 65 years into independence, the education system is still entirely in French. Goal - create an anthology of folktales or, ‘Tere’s’ in the language Sango. To not only create a book that people can finally read in their native language, but also preserve our stories… not the ones forced on us by others. How? Collect - I’ll be interviewing elders who have kept memories of my culture’s oral tradition. Transcribe - I’ll transcribe all the stories in Sango. Create - I’ll write the book itself and have it printed. Disperse - I’ll travel back to the central African republic and disperse copies More information here: espilove.com/project

Very excited to announce that for Issue 4 of our magazine we will be interviewing Espi Love about her upcoming project (Pialö Ubangî)!

‘Rage knitting’ against the machine: the hobbyists putting anti-ICE messages into crafts Makers take a stand through ‘Melt the ICE’ red knit caps and sparkly nails – all while raising funds for those affected by immigration raids

Staff at a Twin Cities yarn store put together a pattern for a red knit “Melt the ICE” hat inspired by the Norwegian resistance.

They thought they would attract 10 people to a weekly knit-along.

They’ve sold 70,000 copies, raising more than $250k for immigrant aid groups.
