Rage and Renewal—plus events, links, & reminders
Hi friends, this is a quick note to share a few links, announcements, and reminders. Enjoy! —K
Postcards of Rage and Renewal
If you, like me, are having many many feelings as we approach the two year (!) anniversary of covid disruptions in the US, you will want to be part of this project. Postcards of Rage and Renewal is a collective response to the two-year anniversary of the coronavirus lockdown. It is a collaboration between the Visionary Futures Collective and the Inkcap Collective. Our goal: to collectively channel and process our outrage towards the inadequacy of the pandemic response and to build our hope for the future.
Participants will receive two stamped and addressed postcards designed by VFC/Inkcap members and printed on VFC’s brand new risograph. One postcard will be for rage. One will be for renewal.
Write on or decorate the postcards however you want, and then send them back to us. Based on what you share, we’ll be designing rituals and exhibitions of celebration, mourning, fury, and hope.

Reading Group, March 15
A reminder that we’ll gather on March 15 at 2pm EDT (daylight saving time is almost here, friends!) to discuss the intersections of academic freedom, political repression, and unrest—in Ukraine and elsewhere, including in the US and Canada. Many thanks to Cihan Tekay for curating a thoughtful list of readings and discussion questions.
