Arte es Mi Vida @mujeresdemaiz

im not INTERESTED anymore in seeing men’s perception of what female leisure time looks like, how we lounge around hairless and small and beautiful on our beds and couches in oversized shirts and lace underwear, unaware and unassuming and all the more beautiful for not Trying to be beautiful, i’m TIRED of it. even our most basic freedom of privacy, time alone with the self, has been butchered and ripped from us by the gaze of male photographers and artists

“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up.”

— Louise Erdrich (via purplebuddhaquotes)

For Mexico (Tenochtitlán ) Filled to the brim with love for you, I’ll die a million times to sleep under your stars. To stand on a city on a city To touch the stone that was carried by my ancestors To sweat the water and taste each color and bake in your bread. I love your smoke and feathers. I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs! Why are you all just walking around on top of two cities? Why don’t you dig it back up? And say to hell with it To hell with your church, Build it again. An eighth layer bigger than before Bring back Nahuatl Bring back Tenochtitlán But you can’t go back to the past, you can only learn from it. Borrowed bricks, broken bones, stories etched in stone Take your healing hands off my broken heart and let me live broken and beautiful the way you left me Ruin, ruins, ruined. By Katie Ruiz

Indigenous women hope to trademark textiles to fight intellectual property theft

Guatemala is recognized throughout the world for the quality of its intricately handwoven textiles. Maya women have used them to make huipiles that, over hundreds of years, have come to represent an important part of their cultural identity.

The designs have become popular among contemporary designers who steal them without communicating with the Maya communities, without compensation, or respect to Maya people’s intellectual property, and use them to create appropriated “fashion accessories”. Maya women aren’t happy about that and have started a legal battle to trademark their work.

But as Correspondent Harris Whitbeck reports, it’s not just a dispute about textiles. It’s a fight for women’s and Indigenous rights.

BLANKETISM artist of the day Ali Still @salt_and_still take a look at her work its incredible! BLANKETISM is the term coined by artist Katie Ruiz for the contemporary art movement that incorporates blanket imagery and themes as metaphors for social anonymity and expression, for tapestry as meta-cultural element, and as an integral component in iconic art history. #art #artist #contemporaryart #blanketism #textileart #quilt

"Art is honesty The proof that we are free The projection of the self Why I get up in the morning Why I can’t sleep at night The articulation of perception The organism of the human spirit Creation in creation of itself Periless, powerless and vulnerable The expression of being human The crucifixion of definition All of nature is resurrection (Voltaire) Death is just a turning over of soil So new things can grow I want to join that reinvention I want to be that anarchism I want to lose these words and my language And live only through movement We are just brevity that blows against the wind These mountains watched us being born And they’ll see the last one of us die I smile sometimes, it’s not fatalistic I smile when I think about stone. I want to die to a thousand new moments I want to be born again and again Once is not enough I want to bury my idea of god And grow a garden on top of his plot." -Brian Gianelli 03/02-1979 - 12/29/2004
