“Overcoming difference is not the same as washing it away. Political solidarity is a recognition that we have a mutual interest in organizing together to create a political force that can change the conditions that we all suffer from, even if that suffering looks different based on social position.”

The Combahee River Collective’s 1977 statement reshaped the politics of the Black left and beyond.

I got busy this week so I didn’t get to my Greenlandic artist of the day.
It is Anne-Birthe Hove who prolifically worked as a graphic designer and printer at the Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. Her art interrogated the Greenlandic landscape.
