Hello friends and followers! This is my tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts of stuff I think is pretty, interesting, fun, awesome; whatever. Expect a lot of typography and graphic design related posts. I also rant a lot. Scroll down a bit to read more about me, and be sure to check the archive for past posts! It's worth it ♥ Enjoy!
the distinction between “crafts” and “fine art” is probably driven by misogyny and the devaluation of women’s labor
art forms that have traditionally been practiced by women like embroidery are devalued and called just “crafts” while art forms that women historically were mostly barred from (painting, sculpture) are “fine art”
It’s also driven by racism in Western art appreciation courses in my experience. African art tends to be viewed as crafts rather than fine art, especially when it’s art that can have functional uses in households.
WATCH: We humans aren’t the only ones who like to dance to the soothing sounds of the violin. Pairi Daiza zoo in Belgium invited violinists to rehearse in front of these elephants.
Shoutout to Zak Arctander for appropriating my photo of harinef for Most Important Ugly and not taking the time to contact either me or arabellesicardi. I understand that appropriating artwork is legal, but in order to access this image, you are met with descriptions of how and why this image came to be- specifically about Hari and her relationship with herself. By appropriating this work, you erased our collective story and literally painted over her for your own agenda. I’m so disappointed.
These are amazing, and many of them could apply so well to so many different shitty health/grieving/life situations.So, so smart and so much better than most of the sympathy you tend to receive when you’re going through something awful.
In the animation movie “ UP” they lose their baby.. it’s such a heartbreaking moment.
She completely loses herself after she sits outside staring think about the “what ifs”.
I can relate and feel her pain.
I wish more moves showed the pain.. and how a couple difts apart after a loss.
