Feminisms, art, typography, graphic design, food and anything else that catches my fancy. A place to bookmark things I find on the internet.

Permalink tangledupinlace: toofattobehipster: Attention Followers! I am starting a body positive art project, and I need your help! For this project I will be asking willing participants (friends, tumblr followers, family, etc) to send me images of their breasts (I am starting with breasts but plan on also doing a tummy and bum project too) to create a grid of anonymous body parts in all different shapes, sizes, colors, ages, etc. The end result should look like a floral pattern or geometric design, but upon further inspection is actually a few hundred pictures of different kinds of boobs/bellies/butts. I will be gum-printing small grids initially, and screen-printing large ones on scarves that you can wear (!!!), or hang on your wall. The example above is only a small portion of what is to come.  They do not have to be good quality, and can be taken with cellphones/laptop cams/etc. The only thing I ask is that they are only of the specific body-part, although I can do some more specific cropping if you do not have that ability.  The ideal image of your breasts should be from around your collar bone to anywhere under your breast. But do keep in mind these images are cropped to squares, and can use a bit of room around and underneath the breast to ensure nothing gets cut-off.  The more I can accumulate, the better, so spread the word that this is a positive, uplifting environment for self-love, and anyone who wants to participate can. If you identify with having breasts - you’re in! Every participant will remain anonymous but don’t worry, no one will be able to tell anyone else apart. I will also accept anonymous emails, if you’re feeling shy. If you are comfortable with this idea, please send images to TooFatToBeHipster@gmail.com, or message me privately on tumblr (nothing will ever be published publicly). You can also reblog this to help me spread the word! Thank you so much in advance for your support and participation.  ya’ll know i love to show off my melons so i’ll for sure be sending in like……80 pictures to my babygirl like, tomorrow you should too

Permalink utnereader: Paris-born, London-based artist Noemie Goudal’s photography is rooted firmly in the creation of what many have coined “conception volumique,” a phrase borrowed from design production to refer to site-specific sculptural installations that render unclear whether it is the location, installation, or image that is the artwork itself. Across various photographic series, Goudal frequently works with large-scale paper backdrops, juxtaposed closely with the existing landscape and blurring the bounds of the real and the fictional.

The 45 Most Powerful Images of 2011

*Trigger Warning*: There are images of police brutality.

I think you can argue what the most powerful images are, but it definitely offers a sobering (and depressing) summary of the year.

Permalink fuckyeahlatinamericanhistory: lookhigh: Irina Werning’s time machine is her camera — and her travelers could be just about anyone. Odds are, you’ve seen her photos; “Back To The Future,” as Werning calls her project, has become an internet meme, if not an overnight sensation. “I guess everyone is just curious to see how they age,” Werning says. Watch this mesmerizing video (via Behind The Scenes And ‘Back To The Future’ With Photographer Irina Werning : The Picture Show : NPR) Irina Werning is from Argentina.
