Heard Vanessa in conversation w/ Cassie Thornton (feministeconomicsdepartment.com) & Judit Navratil at Dream Farm Commons -- so many interesting ideas about community formation, both embodied & virtual (meaning, really, in language or using visual/aural senses: on the phone, on email, in VR etc).

Like culture posts on this app simply donβt get the engagement and I think itβs because people feel itβs frivolous and actually itβs the thing we are fighting for, the freedom to make culture and cultural works

I do actually think there is a serious imbalance on this app. A lot of politics and not enough culture. Some of that has to do with the fact that Black Twitter mostly went to Threads.

Wasn't that like the big difference between winter institute and BEA? The further was publisher - bookstore relationship building and the latter was a trade show? I have never been to either, but with BEA dead, has WI morphed into like a Frankenstein of the two?

A Talk on Photography with Artist Kija Lucas
Join Bay Area artist Kija Lucas for a talk exploring her photographic practice and ongoing investigations into home, heritage, and inheritance. Through the neutral lens of scientific photography, Kija Lucas uses botanicals to speak to the embedded layers of history and meaning that impact our understanding of society. Lucasβs images invite us to consider the ways our environment shapes each of us, as well as how ideas are passed down across generations and how seemingly small, intimate moments can create lasting change.About the artist Bay Area artist Kija Lucas uses photography to explore concepts of home, heritage, and inheritance. She is interested in how ideas are passed down and seemingly inconsequential moments create changes that last generations. Lucas has exhibited her work at the Guardhouse with For-Site, San Francisco Camerawork, Palo Alto Art Center, International Center for Photography, San Francisco Arts Commission, Black Cube Nomadic Museum, and Mills College Art Museum.

"Science describes accurately from outside, poetry describes accurately from inside. Science explicates, poetry implicates. Both celebrate what they describe. We need the languages of both science and poetry to save us from merely stockpiling endless βinformationβ that fails to inform our ignorance or our irresponsibility."
from "Deep in Admiration" by Ursula K. Le Guin
"Deep in Admiration" was a talk given at the conference Anthropocene: Arts of Living on a Dangerous Planet at UC Santa Cruz in May 2014. The text appears as the foreword to the collection Late in the Day: Poems 2010-2014 (published by PM Press).
