The Transference of Native Knowledge

“Taken at the May Day March. This dancer was representing her people and explained to me the symbolic meaning of our face paint. Where ever you draw the line, that sense is ‘opened.’ My line means that my mind is kept open. Her paint means her sight is kept open, constantly looking over and watching out for her people.” - forestsoflegend

Powerful Knowledge.

“I am UndocuQueer!” is an art project in conjunction with the Undocumented Queer Youth Collective and the Queer Undocumented Immigrant Project (QUIP) that aims to give us undocumented queers more of a presence in the discussion of migrant rights. 

If you want your own “I am UndocuQueer!” image, message me a photograph from the waist up of yourself and a quote telling us what does it mean to be UndocuQueer for you to juliosalgado83@yahoo.com.

Income inequality, as seen from space

May 24, 2012 by Tim De Chant

Last week, I wrote about how urban trees—or the lack thereof—can reveal income inequality. After writing that article, I was curious, could I actually see income inequality from space? It turned out to be easier than I expected.

Below are satellite images from Google Earth that show two neighborhoods from a selection of cities around the world. In case it isn’t obvious, the first image is the less well-off neighborhood, the second the wealthier one.

I feel like there’s something to this related to gentrification too. Click the link above for a comparison of West Oakland, Downtown and Piedmont. Race isn’t explicitly mention in this either…

why didn’t I see this 4 days ago? it would have been great to include this in my final geography project which related to this topic but instead of trees it was parks.. 

me and my boo. can’t wait to see her on friday!
