Heute Vormittag im Wahllokal in Delmenhorst hatten wir kaum eine ruhige Minute. Viele Erstwählende waren auch dabei! Jetzt habe ich Pause bis kurz vor sechs und gerade gelesen, dass die Wahlbeteiligung in Niedersachsen bisher deutlich höher ist als 2021 - es war nicht nur in unserem Wahllokal voll.

Quite a while ago, two friends/colleagues across two continents and many years had a conversation on Zoom and ended up as co-authors of a chapter in this beautiful book. Mil gracias to the ever-inspiring Laura Coral Velasquez as well as to the wonderful editors Eliza Garnsey and Cait Hamilton!
One happy co-author holding up the new edited volume "Creating Justice: Human Rights and Art in Conversation", edited by Eliza Garnsey and Caitlin Hamilton. The book's cover, in shades of blue, shows a doodle of two doves.The first half of the book's table of contents, with chapters on public interventions, painting, photography, performance, architecture, jewelry, textiles (this is Laura's and my chapter), installations, and poetry and performance.Two happy co-authors in a coffee shop in Bogotá, November 2023.

What better way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon in Bremen than by looking for - and finding! - textiles and having delicious cake in @katkusic.bsky.social's favorite café whilst reading the beautifully titled zine "Historia hecho a mano": issuu.com/veronicam10/...

During personally difficult times, this article was not just a pleasure, but actually fun to write. It's on extending IR's epistemology, co-authored w/ the fabulous B Bliesemann de Guevara, A Querejazu & V Santos, open access. I hope the fun we had writing it translates into the reading experience 🙃

El miércoles (2-5), la profe Beatriz Arias López y yo vamos a facilitar un taller práctico en la metodología de la narrativa textil. Después de una introducción al proyecto Des-tejiendo miradas, experimentamos con el bordado como metáfora y práctica para destejer miradas sobre otrxs&nosotrxs mismxs

El martes (10-12), la presentación "Cuestionando la guerra como objeto epistémico" va a dar una introducción a mi investigación, desde la problematización crítica (foucaultiana) de la guerra a cómo podríamos conocerla y abordarla de modo alternativo (a través de los textiles de conflicto)

Hola&hello Bluesky! Currently, I am very fortunate to be spending a few weeks in beautiful Medellin, catching up with old friends and making new ones and letting myself be inspired by the amazing research being done by colleagues at the Universidad de Antioquia (where I am based) and elsewhere ☺️
