Destigmatize
FWA of the day 26 April 2025:
Destigmatize
Project Link
We’ve always needed each other—chosen family and community to heal what gets scuffed on the path to self-love. Stigma has held us back, casting aside loved ones with HIV. But in unity, there’s power. Together, let’s build a future where all feel seen, safe, and worthy of love.

Ai Weiwei designs large-scale "camouflauge" installation for New York
Chinese artist Ai Weiwei has designed a large-scale installation with camouflage netting for the launch of the Art X Freedom public art program on Roosevelt Island in New York City.
The Camouflage installation will consist of a swath of camouflage netting that stretches over a bust of US President Franklin D Roosevelt via a scaffolding structure at the narrow point of FDR Four Freedoms State Park designed by modernist architect Louis Kahn.
Weiwei's installation will explore the connotations of the camouflage motif, often associated with war, in connection to the "the fundamental human freedoms" championed in the 1941 State of the Union...
A Bold Metaphysical Portal by Hilma’s Ghost Stretches 600 Feet Across Grand Central Station
A glass mosaic covering 600 square feet of the 2nd Street entrance to the 7 train in Grand Central Station greets commuters with a bold, cosmic map.

https://invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=pbPL7PqZetQ

The traditional craft emerged in the Asuka era between about 600 and 700 C.E. and similarly eschews nails in favor of perfectly cut pieces that notch into place. Intricate fields of florals and geometric shapes emerge, creating a decorative panel that typically covers windows or divides a room.
A video from The Process, a YouTube channel exploring various manufacturing sectors and hand-crafted techniques, visits the workshop of Kinoshita Mokuge. Viewers are welcomed into the meticulous, labor-intensive process of producing elaborate, interlocked motifs. Japanese Arts also...
