Undersea Art Gallery That Ensnares Illegal Trawlers
Practitioner:
Paolo Fanciulli
Date:
Nov 15 2022
IT’S 7 AM, and a thin layer of mist still hovers over the harbor in Talamone as fisherman Paolo Fanciulli stretches out his nets.

Exposing Disordered Eating
Practitioner:
Elle Azul Duncombe-Mills
Date:
Oct 15 2014

In American media, representations of disordered eating are conditioned and controlled; all we are shown is the crumpled, emaciated anorexic figure with sunken eyes and cheekbones. This image is both unrelatable and othered, and it fails to capture the reality of modern eating disorders: they are omnipresent, multifaceted, and sneaky.
