Get­ting re-inspired through tidy­ing up the archive from my col­lege days and short there­after. Both by cours­es from my old teach­ers and the first work­shops I con­duct­ed myself after grad­u­a­tion. There’s a lot I for­got, but I’m sure a lot will find its way to future class­es again!

I enjoyed read­ing this essay: Bring back sci­ence and phi­los­o­phy as nat­ur­al phi­los­o­phy

Keep alive ratio­nal think­ing about fun­da­men­tal prob­lems as spe­cial­i­sa­tion becomes ram­pant

Final two weeks of my sound instal­la­tion at Eye Film­mu­se­um! (The par­al­lel exhi­bi­tion A Tale of Hid­den His­to­ries also very rec­om­mend­ed)

“Many peo­ple won­der if there could be a genius like Leonar­do today, or what a per­son of his dis­po­si­tion would do. Per­haps there can­not be anoth­er like him because today’s world requires tremen­dous spe­cial­iza­tion.”

The Mind of Leonar­do Da Vin­ci

Excit­ed to see Fatouma­ta Diawara list­ed as one of the guest cura­tors for Le Guess Who 2019. Reveal­ing the guest cura­tors for Le Guess Who? 2019

Grow­ing up in the Was­soulou region, she expe­ri­enced sti­fling tra­di­tions and the oppres­sion of women. In her music, Diawara address­es fierce polit­i­cal top­ics, fight­ing for the rights of women and chil­dren in her home­land.

Hun­dreds of Pro­test­ers Wield­ed Bananas After a Pol­ish Muse­um Cen­sored Fem­i­nist Art­works

The banana in Natalia LL’s film has — in effect — become the sym­bol of the protest move­ment against the silenc­ing of Poland’s most well-known and respect­ed fem­i­nist artists.

J.J. Cale — Stay Around (2019). The long await­ed posthu­mous­ly released album of the under-the-radar-giant is here. It’s good.

l’Homme fidèle (2018) ★★★☆☆. By/with Louis Gar­rel, and with a con­vinc­ing Lil­ly-Rose Depp. Every­one just needs to watch a good French roman­tic movie from time to time. And you can’t go wrong with this one.
