Shepard Fairey OBEY Sticker Campaign
Manifesto: The OBEY Sticker Campaign can be explained as an experiment in Phenomenology. Heidegger describes Phenomenology as “the process of letting things manifest themselves.” Phenomenology attempts to enable people to see clearly something that is right before their eyes but obscured; things that are so taken for granted that they are muted by abstract observation. www.obeygiant.com

Third Luna Retreat
Education and Training Spotlight: Leadership for Unity, reNewal and Amplification (LUNA)
IDWF affiliates are eager for opportunities to develop their skills and resilience. To meet
this need, we organized a major new training initiative, Leadership for Unity, reNewal and Amplification (LUNA).
Originally created by the U.S.-based National Domestic Workers Alliance, the program was a collaboration of IDWF, the Confederation of Latin American and Caribbean Domestic Workers (CONLACTRAHO), Generative Somatics, the Solidarity Center and donors like FES, ILO, Care International and Open Society Foundations.
40 domestic workers from 17 countries throughout Latin America and the Caribbean took part in LUNA, a one-year program comprised of three multi-day workshops bolstered
by ongoing mentoring. The LUNA program involves political education, training in organizing strategies and building new models of leadership. It also applies somatics, a holistic therapy that recognizes the intricate connection between mind and body.
By taking part in exercises and discussions, participants learned techniques especially valuable for domestic workers and others who endure abuse, sexual harassment, racism, homophobia and other types of societal violence and exclusion.
The training recognizes that for many, the only approach to leadership we have seen is a traditional, male-dominated, hierarchical structure. Domestic worker leaders need to create models that don’t reproduce the same models of power they have seen as poor women, as domestic workers, and as members of traditionally excluded ethnic populations. LUNA also serves to connect domestic worker leaders across the regions, and they now engage each other in support for their projects.
IDWF plans to hold LUNA every two years.

”Sometimes I also feel like the inhabitants of Bauciª "review it with telescopes and glasses, leaf by leaf, stone by stone, ant by ant, contemplating fascinated their own absence.” Italo Calvino, “Le città invisibili”
For this work aims to guide the look over there, further. It can be understood as imagination exercise where other things inhabit. To draw this installation where used: small-scale figures; small dia-projector, reduction mirror and magnifying lenses (telescope device) – img.1 (Original title “...um outro mundo")

For International Women’s Day 2023, UN Women Sudan teamed up with civil society organizations (CSOs), youth activists, artists, development partners and the UN to host events, raise awareness and galvanize action to bridge the gender digital divide.
The theme for International Women’s Day, 8 March 2023, was, “DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality”. This year Sudan marked the main “gender equality” day, which coincides with the 70th anniversary of women’s movement in the country, with a variety of events and activities to honor women's accomplishments, recognize their contributions to society, and advocate for continued efforts toward gender equality. The events allowed young women and women to present and amplify their voices in support of gender equality and women's empowerment.
Pictured: In keeping with the global theme of International Women's Day - DigitAll: Innovation and Technology for Gender Equality - the UN in Sudan and the School of Mathematical Science at the University of Khartoum organized an event to discuss the opportunities and challenges that women face in digital technology and education, as well as the women who are leading the way in transformative technology and digital education. This was followed by a demonstration of innovative digital applications developed by young women from Sudan's School of Mathematics.

My favorite cover because of the odd combination of elements. Come on, you have to admit that using a man yawning, a snake, and solarized vomit to create a scene from the Matrix is cool!
A student asked about amplification. Schneider and Tognetti talked at length about the slight amplification that was used in Schneider’s piece. Once you add the three jazz instruments, then, as Tognetti said, ”It’s no longer a level playing field.” The amplification was quite subtle and was only used to make sure all the levels were balanced.
