Slow Factory hosted a series of workshops and conversations fostering social and climate justice learning as part of Homeroom: The Revolution is a School. Maya Moumne, co-founder of graphic design studio, Studio Safar, and it’s accompanying magazine Journal Safar, as well as the editor-in-chief of Al Hayya Magazine, hosted a virtual lecture investigating the decolonization of visual culture in response to decades of European and North American hegemony. Design is inherently political: it shapes our cities, our homes, bodies, and minds. It curates, connects, arranges, and defines. And, perhaps above all, it carries the power to shape our responses to challenges big and small, local and global, short and long term.

On Diane Burns

On the occasion of Diane Burns’s inclusion in Greater New York, poet Nicole Wallace organizes a day of reflection on Burns’s work and legacy. Burns wrote poetry and produced drawings, often critiquing stereotypes of Native Americans and addressing the complexities of urban life. The program brings together a group of Indigenous writers and artists to dig into Burns’s creative practice and generate new considerations and interpretations. The afternoon will include a series of presentations of new textual material by Lou Cornum, Sky Hopinka, and Maria Hupfield, followed by a conversation moderated by Wallace.
