The privatization of hope is not simply a matter of focusing energy and attention on oneself and one’s family. It is the withdrawal of personal expectation from the wider world, the rejection of even a possible democratic solidarity on behalf of a collective life encompassing and fit for all.
The Privatization of Hope - Boston Review
Among the casualties of neoliberalism is the very possibility of solidarity.

Indigenous group of Papau New Guinea whose culture revolves around giant yams! It determines a person's status by the size of the yams they grow. If only the rest of the world competed on ability to feed people!
![Yam growing forms a large part of Abelam society. The growing of large yams (they can be as large as 80-90 inches (2.3 m) long) determines the status of individuals as well as the whole village.[1] At yam festivals an individual would give his largest yam to his worst enemy who would then be obligated to grow an even larger yam or have his status fall each year in which he was unable to do so. Separate villages would gather at yam festivals where the hosting village's status would be determined by the size of their yams as well as their ability to provide more food than could be eaten and carried away by the rival village.
During the yam growing season, strong emotions were kept to a minimum as they were thought to impede the growth of the yams. Fighting was taboo as was sexual activity. It was thought that the yams had a spirit and could sense any of these strong emotions.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreid7x3upm64jswmz7hcfxddklajmoqsmncxvex3f56qmmnjjfcpxre@jpeg)

One of my favorite artist’s books. Warja Lavater was a Bauhaus artist who invented codes and used them to retell fairytales.

I have a new artist’s book coming in 2025! Editioning intaglio plates is a pleasantly human-paced activity.
