Please join us at @ours.today for City Scores, a collaborative publication exhibition by VCU Graphic Design students, showcasing months-long explorations of field notes, and mapped reflections on and around Richmond. The publications invite slow looking, encouraging viewers to experience the city as a bundle of textures, sounds, and unfolding sights. The works range from handheld books to interactive book objects. These intimate, domestic reports offer a poignant reflection of Richmond and also serve as a compelling time capsule. The event will be held from 6-8PM on this Thursday, April 30th! Featured designers:  Allie Adamec - Charles Estes Juan Baez-Nino - Jesse Corwin Lydia Behler - Ethan Castaldo Sarah Brooks - Hazel Glick Jamie Cox - Ava Craft Sophie Dewire - Lian Wasser-Goren Jackson Gardner - Sarah Taylor Destiny Gillispie - Paige Tomlin Caden Grayson - Kendall Lawrence William Love - Eva Derryberry - Nova Lore  Kara Faulkner - Juliet Gerensky-Greene  - Nardos Woldemichael  Rhiannon Stevens - Breanna Brown - Tina Liu - Hannah Nguyen   Annelie Japp - Ollie Janus - Megan Healy  Charlotte Oshtry - Vee Mikirticheva - Greta Bucholz  Jayda Brooks - Lily Ibarra - Sol Feseha  Multi 1 sections conducted by @rasimsimsim and @nneomanneomanneoma for Spring 2026.

“Oxumağı sevmək” was born from the necessity to examine what and how encyclopedic materials are being presented to a younger population. Transitory nature of editions, volumes and anthologies shape the way important information is being passed down in an easily malleable post-soviet knowledge pool. Focused on the “qıjı” culture that arose in the 2000s, publication formally roots itself in a standardized 12 page, A5 green notebook. Every page and its contents rotate between three languages, losing and gaining knowledge as the zine is flipped. How can storytelling (or infodumping) through multiple volumes become an un-verbose practice? The first issue explores tattoos, cars, and headwear. Second issue will explore language, media and emotions. <3 done in @daleluiza ’s fall 2024 graduate workshop at @vcuartsgraphicdesign will be posting more stuff in the next days :3

A dove sat on the roof of the tallest house and asked the host to enter. The host let the dove in. The dove made a nest. The host asked to enter the nest. Join us in experiencing the student work from the Install to Manifest class, with 14 works from variety of disciplines and departments in a collective exhibition titled “The Only Necessary Criterion for an Object”.

Happy to share that the Mobilizing Citizenship Toolkit is now out! Organized by @kristinaketola Kristina Ketola Bore, Mobilizing Citizenship (MC) was an educational and research project held at @kunsthall_stavanger Kunsthall Stavanger between 2018 and 2024, which invited both Norwegian and international artists as well as designers to collaborate with young people aged 12–16. Each term explored how participants could use tools and methods from contemporary art to express themselves and make their voices heard. 

 I was lucky to be involved in the first year as a workshop leader, and was grateful to be brought on to direct this site and usher it out into the world with kai chuang and rasim bayramov, the amazing designers and developers.
 This toolkit captures the knowledge, experiences, and reflections developed over the course of the project. Big thank you to the toolkit editors, Kristina and @leeheinemann Lee Heinemann, as well as the amazing contributors. Thank you for all your trust! 🔗 mctoolkit.xyz 🔗

Join us this September for OOPS! Off-Purpose Software, a 7-week class about using serious tools unseriously. Taught online by @herdimas.anggara with @weitong_sun & @rasimsimsim . In this class, we’ll explore a Google Workspace platform (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms) weekly and push it to the edge of breakdown. Students will be invited to write Google Apps Script to amplify the joke, use version history as revisionist memoir, autofill as a timing device, and many other methods of misuse through scripting or overly literal obedience. 🃏♦️🃏 Applications open until Sunday, August 3 at 11:59pm ET 🔗 - Link in bio to apply! ༻ Scholarships available 🃏♦️🃏 Graphics by Sara Martínez @identikitten

beds, stars, and my little pony

who made the grasshopper? this grasshopper, i mean-- the one who has flung herself out of the grass, the one who is eating sugar out of my hand, who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes. the grasshoper prevails, the grasshoper persists.
