#Repost @nytgender ・・・ “Some people believe that in respecting my rights, they will lose some of their own,” writes Cecilia Gentili, a trans activist. "But equality is an endless cake. The more who eat from it, the more there is to share." As the Equality Act — which would ban discrimination against people based on sexual orientation and gender identity — makes its way through the Senate, "the focus should be on the people at the center of the debate, people whose presence at your schools, your jobs, your neighborhoods, is being cast as a menace to society, @ceciliagentili72 writes. "We can tell stories about theoretical harms that people fear from having to encounter us without the right to discriminate, or we can talk about the real harms that discrimination is causing to us right now."

#designgeeklove . #Repost @jenkinsjohnsongallery ・・・ Continuing our celebration of Women's History Month, we want to honor gallery artist Lisa Corinne Davis, an artist who has trailblazed in her approach to the mapping of identity. Davis uses abstraction as a way to explore the interiority of concepts such as race, culture, and history, challenging classification and contingency. Her art depends on the idea that nothing is concrete, but rather a “subjective construct of culture, biases, assumptions, and personal predispositions.” Davis’s style is almost cartoonish and then cartographic, abstractly rendering a space of oddly familiar yet essentially ephemeral visuals. Her map-like works turn fantastical and strange, speaking to the fluidity of culture and one’s location within it as an individual. Recently, Davis has worked more with the materiality of paint, allowing the process of working with paint to flow more organically. Recently, Lisa received a 2021 Arts and Letters Award in Art from the American Academy of Arts and Letters! @insta_lcd @pollockkrasnerfoundation @kjenkinsjohnson @sfartdealers @mspfoundation @minnesotastreetproject #lisacorinnedavis #pollockkrasnergrant #contemporaryart #artgrant #abstract #abstractartist #painting #americanacademyofartsandletters #supportblackartists #supportblackcreators #womenshistory #womenshistorymonth #internationalwomensmonth https://www.instagram.com/p/CNBQ3thpBAa/?igshid=y6uv3j7lpoik

#designgeeklove . #Repost @tmagazine ・・・ “We started shooting it with our own resources in our free time,” Natalie Shirinian (@natalie_shirinian) says of her 2017 documentary short, “Interior Motives,” which examines the connections between the worlds of fashion and interior design — her partner, @ElizabethBaudouin, served as executive producer and music supervisor on the film. “I’d noticed more fashion designers crossing over into interiors and was fascinated by how creative expression can manifest through multiple channels. I also wanted to shed a light on amazing talents all over the world.” The film features interviews with important figures from both industries, including Michèle Lamy, Maria Cornejo and Tommy Hilfiger. As part of The Architecture Design Art Film Festival (ADAFF), which is presented by The American Documentary Film Festival in partnership with Modernism Week, it’s streaming on DocsNow+ through April 4.

#Repost @goodoldmovies ・・・ Marilyn Monroe at the St. Regis Hotel in September 1954, by Milton Greene ——————————————————————————————What I really want to say: That what the world really needs is a real feeling of kinship. Everybody: stars, laborers, Blacks, Jews, Arabs. We are all brothers. Please don’t make me a joke. End the interview with what I believe (from her last taped interview, with Richard Meryman, published in LIFE magazine a few days before her death, 3 August 1962). —————————————————————————————— #oldhollywood #vintage #blondebombshell #classichollywood #legend #1950s #moviestar #mm #hollywoodstar #marilynmonroe #hollywoodgreats #goodoldmovies #1960s #silverscreen #goldenage #goldenageofhollywood #miltongreene https://www.instagram.com/p/CM_gGmXpzDe/?igshid=1rjzf29va81oy
