Now that Texas is doing a civil war we get to bring it back

Sometimes we're hit with a very straightforward reminder that the scope of traffic violence overlaps with & is connected to the matters of femicide and scornful, nihilistic, right-wing political violence.

It’s not much of an exaggeration to say that a random woman in a sports skirt recorded on a random instagram reel in chicago has done more to directly confront the human rights abuses of ICE than both standing minority leaders

[Large red neon sign that reads "Beauty for All" in cursive] Beauty for All R&R STUDIOS The history of signs in the American urban landscape is rich and ever-present. Signs have played an important role in providing identity to buildings, streets, neighborhoods, and even entire cities. Beauty for All is a large-scale model of a fantastical urban billboard-both a message of hope and a call to action. It reimagines the city as a shared, creative space built with meaning, emotion, and joy. Drawing from the rich history of American signage, the piece transforms a symbol of consumerism into a public artwork. It suggests a new kind of city-one shaped by collective imagination rather than private interests. It invites visitors to dream of cities where beauty, pleasure, and connection are not luxuries, but essentials. RAR Studios (Miami, USA) is led by Floberto Bahar and Flosario Marquardt, creating multidisciplinary work at the intersection of art, architecture, and public space Project Team Manager: Georgy John. Design Assistant: Slying Cheng.
