The Corrections

 

submitted by: Sam Fein

Artworks created by survivors-turned-activists reveal the “Troubled Teen Industry,” a multi-billion dollar industry designed to modify socially-undesirable behaviors in adolescent girls.



Memory Card: The Perk of Being Able to Remember
 

submitted by: Sol Kim

Considers the act of subjective human recollection as a sacred activity, in a time when technology’s “memory” threatens to make our own remembering obsolete.



Sem Sombras/Unshadowed
 

in Maputo, Mozambique

submitted by: Onyịnye Alheri and Carolina Policarpo

Highlights the ways that queer and trans Mozambicans and other Africans are undoing enforced social norms and demanding rights, pleasure, and freedom.



I saw the future, it’s so wonderful, there are Puerto Ricans (Vi el futuro, es maravilloso, hay puertorriqueñxs)

in San Juan, Puerto Rico

submitted by: Mariana Ramos Ortiz

Counters narratives that suggest Puerto Ricans are the root of the archipelago’s problem by presenting works that consider new strategies for colonial subjects to reclaim agency over their past, present and future.
