Disability Justice Art as Praxis

Call for Art: Workshopspace 2
Workshop with Debra Guckenheimer
Inspired by Canadian disabled artist Margeaux Feldman, this project is a practice of resisting ableism and other dehumanizing systemic oppressions. Debra Guckenheimer has taken discarded books and created collages to feature as a backdrop to an affirmation. The affirmation is a rejection of an ableist message she received with a disability justice message on the back. She has distributed over 100 postcards around the world to friends and strangers, who keep the postcard up to recite the affirmation as needed. Audience and artist together create change as they practice letting go of harm. This is Debra's first exhibit in Germany, the home of her grandparents until they fled in 1933, as Debra practices healing some of the trauma her ancestors experienced. This workshop is dedicated to the late disability justice Alice Wong and the ancestors of Debra who were murdered by Nazis. Attendees will receive a disability justice postcard (limited quantity available) to practice healing and resistance.

Jujutsu (jj) is a new version control system that uses Git as its backend. Since trying it last year, it has completely replaced Git for me. It manages to be less complex than Git, while giving you more control. I think you'll like it too! Lately, when people ask me complex Git questions, my answer is often: "First, install jj…" And that's only half a joke. :P --- A few things I like about Jujutsu: There's no index, but instead you get a subcommand for splitting changes. Commits have stable ...

How can we work together to improve political decision-making processes in the long term? What do you want from democracy? Motivation: While our democracy can be shaped by the people as they wish on paper, the population seems to be largely dissatisfied with political actions: - The handling of many crises appears to be inadequate - Urgent problems seem to be postponed - Democratic participation seems tedious and ineffective Dissatisfaction mixed with these perceptions can lead to the loss of ...
