Stripus wearing a new pin I designed. A friend had a pin with this- "Stop Shopping. Start Thinking." I couldn't find a copy, so I made my own. Want one? Email me.
p.s. This isn't pinned to Stripus's head.
I totally believe in this. I've really worked hard to unlearn my American consumerism. To live simply. Be very thoughtful in what I consume and what I take and give to the system.

Many teachers face either the pressures to avoid difficult topics or to plunge in with little consideration of what is best for children at each stage of their development. This session provided time for teachers to explore and discuss these issues surrounded by children's books in the beautiful Halcyon Lab.

The rain washes clean,
what the wind leaves behind.
The sun warms the air,
from the cold winters shrine.
The earth can comfort you,
if you look at it right.
The seeds that bloom,
from the pollen in flight.
The trees grow tall,
till their all chopped down.
The flowers bloom bright,
and get picked from the ground.
The animals that run,
the birds fly to the sky.
And they;re hunted for sport,
they're shot then they die.
This is the legacy we leave,
to our children right now.
We must change our ways,
we must stop this some how.

lady-like
Video Performance, , 2016
Lady-like addresses the traditional idea of what it means to be a woman, specifically responding to the sayings “act like a lady” and “sit like a lady.” My performance work aims to complicate gender and sexual binaries, challenging the limiting conventions of normativity. Unlearning these systemic structures and understanding them as being in a state of constant fluctuation has encouraged me to utilize playfulness as a method of subversion. In this piece I insert myself into the space as a figure that exhibits societal markers of both masculinity and femininity. This complicates the cultural signifiers we use to conceive of and simultaneously construct gender, while also calling into question the dichotomous taxonomy through which we divide men and women. Through the use of tropes, camp, characterization, and drag influences I subvert the expectations of gender. This piece challenges object associations that are deep-seated in our society.
Legacy format represents a new direction in form and process that was ignited by Sonny Assu's experience of wearing his great great grandfather's Chilkat robe, and the desire in his family to explore possibilities for replication of regalia. Four vibrant graphic jacquard-woven robes merge traditional forms and materials with gital tools and pop culture as a startling disruption.
Created with Montreal-based weaver Sophia Borowska, Assu composed the images as vector graphics which were then digitaly transferred across time and space and programmed into the loom, where the pattern was materialized as Browska manually brought the shuttle and weft through the warp. The digital jacquard loom uses a weaving logic that is very different from the twining and knotting in Chilkat technique, meaning that whie Assis designs can be materialized very closely, these designs could not be woven by hand. Assu's robes excke elements that signal Indigenous futurisms over tradition; the fringes and edges take on lives of their own in response to the design and fabrication process. Collaboration is inherent in this contemporary digital design and fabrication process, back in time through traditional Kwakwaka wakw art practices, and now over the internet and in cloud-based software and storage.
According to art historian Tai Smith, weaving has always functioned as a mediation of other media, harnessing the terms of esting technologies to define something new. As a precursor to binary computation, employing the logics of Os and 1s, jacquard weaving processes continue to be implicated in the transformational digital veris ve inhabit. Sonny Assus robes ask viewers to contemplate and challenge their expectations of the Criest form. They are imitations to flow threads of learning and unlearning that are entangled in Indigenous and colonial histories, and their futures.

In electroencephalography (EEG) neurofeedback protocols, trainees receive feedback about the spectral power of the target brain wave oscillation and are tasked to increase or decrease this feedback signal compared to a predetermined threshold. In a recent computational analysis of a neurofeedback protocol it was shown that the placement of the threshold has a major impact on the learning rate and that placed too low or too high leads to no learning or even unlearning, respectively.

In that moment, just one moment,
When simplicity and her kin hold a veil,
I dance to different notes, the mundane included
Joyously yearning, unlearning to learn.
The curtains lift.
Of theatrical blacks and whites
Insinuative greys,
Masquerades and laughter
I, a mere actor, the self, watching from a distance.
The curtain falls.
I learn to unlearn.

It’s been said – spoken by the unlearned who spew a continuous narrative of white supremacy – that the African is docile, unintelligent, unable to fight. 25PIANKHI selects the African narrative below for education purposes. African inventor Garrett A. Morgan is famous for being the inventor of the traffic light. Morgan, after observing an accident, determined that something had to be done to improve public safety. His device would be installed on the corner of streets. His intelligent invention shatters white supremacy narratives of Africans. Morgan is but one of our many great inventors. We are a great people. #AfricaWillRise #OneAfricanGiant (25PIANKHI © 2020 All Rights Reserved)
