Venezuelanist art historian, now studying the discourse on space & place, networks, bodies, & ‘the sacred.’ Interested in links betw prehistory, history, & consciousness. Thinking hard abt the ethics of AI. Knitter, spinner. I miss Caracas, though.
Jon is a beautiful, thoughtful writer and it was an absolute delight to talk to him for this piece. We need to get him here on Bluesky! Check out his Substack, Burnout Culture at substack.com/@jonmalesic
I am looking forward to finally seeing this in person, actually very excited
I don’t know why I waited 10 years to make this tomato orange marmalade again!
Just taught this very conundrum to my undergrad art history students The Palette of Narmer
Buddo, my favorite lil guy but I hope he’s not some sacrificial figure or fearsome deity
Super easy, and Knitpicks or Lamb’s Pride works great. I always get scared at the felting stage because it’s so unpredictable
I just finished a couple of projects, it’s the season for knitting!
I am obsessed with okonomiyaki and I think I’m getting better at it. Pork belly free zone
@ladyhistorian.bsky.social I can’t stop thinking about your posts yesterday, and wonder if being with ppl who get it might help? @civicsoftech.bsky.social have a monthly get together that I’ve never been to but I’m going to try next week
Yeah my students really like Varo. I think its the aesthetic for them. Me, I like the photographers - Bravo, Yampolsky, Iturbide (ofc I like Vzlan artists more, but for varying reasons!). But I have a copy of this Iturbide and it makes me happy - thanks to the defunct Mother Jones Photography Fund.
I thinks these two might go very well together, been waiting a long time to read @helendecruz.net ‘s book. Rereading the O’Gieblyn because it is so thought provoking, I expect Wonderstruck to be similarly great.
Aka Barbara Merz, hilarious and historical. You might know her already but jic
It arrived yesterday and all I can do is look at it longingly, since it’s a gift 😒 I’m glad it’s more widely available because I am getting one for me! @loriemerson.net
I love this book. Stone does a masterful job tying the concepts of camay, ayni, tinku, and ukhu to each culture, and has a amazing essay showing their roots in textile manufacture (next post)
