New publication launching this evening in Venice:
”TURANDOT: To the Daughters of the East“ is a collateral event at the 61st International Art Exhibition of @labiennale with a group exhibition of works by eleven significant female artists from Central Asia and wider regions of the East.
Turandot is one of the most complex and enigmatic figures in world mythology, literature and opera. Her story traverses centuries, languages and artistic forms, all the while reflecting ongoing cross-cultural hybridity and reinterpretation.

As wolves return to central European landscapes, they revive old fears and instill new hopes, blurring the lines between past myths and present realities. A major part of the current discourse is shaped by regimes of visual representation that narrate, frame and exploit wolves in particular ways.
On April 10, Christoph Miler will talk about Offshore’s long-term project about the return of the predator. It seeks to explore and challenge these depictions, iconographies and technical images of wolves, as well as their inherent power that permeate collective memory and cultural narratives.
The ongoing project is composed of several chapters and combines archival and art historical research, image-making, and writing. Through exhibitions, publications, and performative readings the project investigates how wolfish narratives shape politics, reproduce deep-seated human anxieties, and concretize our dominant relationship with other animals.
The SCHOOLS OF DEPARTURE pocketbook series by the Bauhaus Foundation is growing.
Out now @spectorbooks No. 3: Experiment: Learning Communities No. 4: Pedagogies of Machine Learning
Based on our publication concept and design, Yvonne Tenschert developed and designed the two new issues.
Both issues are also available in the journal section of the Schools of Departure website, which we designed a few years ago (slides 13–18).

This year marks the 10-year anniversary of Migrant Journal. While the journal is no longer active, we’ll be looking back at each issue over the coming months to revisit its themes and contributions.
Later this year, we’ll launch the long-in-progress online archive.

On the occasion of Bally’s 170th anniversary in 2021, Offshore created the B-monogram, featuring Bally’s signature B-Chain interlocked ad infinitum. The design purposefully resembles shoelaces—a reference to Bally’s founding in 1851 as a shoemaker. @bally

The book integrates essays by Beatrice Leanza, 15 interviews with directors and programmers—such as Carson Chan (MoMA, New York), Ikko Yokoyama (M+ Museum, Hong Kong), Aric Chen (Nieuwe Instituut, Rotterdam), Giovanna Borasi (Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal), and Lucia Pietroiusti (Serpentine Gallery, London)—and 17 case studies that encompass independent organizations and platforms offering evidence of the changing paradigms of public and professional engagement with the discipline of design. The World Around (Brooklyn, NY), African Futures Institute (Accra, Ghana), Cultures of Assembly (Luxembourg), Loudreaders, Instituto A Gente Transforma (São Paolo, Brazil) and Fundación Organizmo (Colombia), and others explore global design practices invested in decolonizing and queering agency, as well as computational, ecological, and Indigenous knowledge, and present alternative educational and collaborative frameworks of institutional development.
