Return to the Sea: Saltworks by Motoi Yamamoto

Japanese artist Motoi Yamamoto constructs intricate labyrinths, entire mountains made of salt.

Salt has always held special significance in the death rituals of Japan, and following the sudden death of his younger sister, Yamamoto channelled his grief into his maze-like installations. His works are largely improvised, yet meticulously poured, and at the end of each work, the public is invited in to destroy the work, collect the salt and return it, to the sea.

An Open Letter to Amateur Photographers

If It Ain’t Broke … Don’t Fix It.

The old French definition of amateur is basically: A lover of. As an amateur — a lover of photography — you’ll be incrementally getting better and having fun (even while you make the requisite 10,000 mistakes). This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take your photography really, really seriously, in fact you should. You are perfect. I give you permission to stay in love. Don’t screw that up by “going pro” unless you absolutely can’t help it. You’ll just ruin it.

Ursula K. Le Guin

Calling her the best science fiction writer of our time doesn't do justice to the influence of her work and style. But Ursula K. Le Guin is the best, and then some.

SICHA: Do you have piles of terrible juvenilia all about in file folders? LE GUIN: Yes. Do not ask me to show them to anybody! I can't bear to throw them away. SICHA: It's wonderful you kept it all. LE GUIN: Well, it seems like it would be almost disrespecting my young self to just dump the stuff. I was trying. I wasn't any good, but I was trying.

What happens when you give 100 homeless people disposable cameras? You get true works of art.

In July 2015, a London art group gave 100 cameras to members of the city’s homeless population.

The organization, called Cafe Art, is dedicated to empowering those affected by homelessness to express themselves through art and photography.

By providing insight into their lives, Cafe Art helps fight stigma surrounding the homeless population.

When we’re able to see the world through someone else’s eyes, we can better empathize with what they’re going through. By providing an outlet for a marginalized group — in this case, people experiencing homelessness — Cafe Art is helping to connect them to a world in which they might not feel welcome.

Les vides buides que deixen enrere els feminicidis es representen amb sabates vermelles, que han perdut les seves propietàries. Assassinats misògins, genocidis per raons de gènere, víctimes del sistema patriarcal que ens oprimeix a totes

¡Ante la duda, tú la viuda!

L’any 2014, 102 dones van ser assassinades, víctimes del terrorisme patriarcal en el qual està immers la nostra societat. Els mitjans de comunicació generalistes els presenten com casos aïllats, morts pràcticament responsabilitat de les mateixes víctimes per no haver denunciat o, en tot cas, per no haver abandonat a la parella. La hipocresia masclista d’aquests mitjans és una mostra més del sexisme que impera a casa nostra.

Les dones que denuncien no reben una protecció real; sovint, només acaben doblement victimitzades, pels seus agressors i per l’entorn policial-jurídic, que posa en dubte la veracitat de les seves històries de pallisses, maltractaments, abusos físics i verbals, violacions, privacions econòmiques… Al final, la desconfiança de les dones envers la “justícia” esdevé més que justificada, amb les denúncies sent la punta de l’iceberg d’un feminicidi silenciat i tolerat a gran escala.

En la data del 14 de febrer, antonomàsia del model d’amor romàntic que tantes víctimes causa, les dones surten al carrer a cridar que no estan soles, que no tenen por i que no es quedaran quietes davant d’aquest genocidi per raons de gènere, que pretén mantenir l’status quo de privilegis masculins contra la discriminació i el “segon plat” que pateixen les sexualitats i els gèneres no-masculins/cis/heteros, però que en especial porten vivint i patint durant segles les dones.
