Artist Piotr Szyhalski’s COVID-19: Labor Camp Reports are a daily series of poster designs inspired by news events; the first posted on March 24, 2020.

To transcribe a painting or …
I’m currently reading the The Uninhabitable Earth by David Wallace-Wells. I wouldn’t wish the book or the subject on anyone, were it not imperative. In Seattle, the temperature typically varies from 37°F to 79°F, and right now we’re setting unpresidented records for heat, day after day, so it’s seeming especially imperative today. “In Seattle, where …
Paintings by League artists Alex Walker and Hannah DeBerg are featured in a show with the Benaroya Research Institute’s “The Body Lives Its Undoing,” a reflection in poetry and visual art about autoimmune disease, the effects it reaps on the body and the lives of those living with it.
