Feeling the wrath of anarcho-capitalists? The total chaos of the last few months has led me to reflect a lot on Karl Hess, who is arguably one of the first people to identify as an anarcho-capitalist. Here is my video essay Local Control: Karl Hess in the World of Ideas. youtu.be/w5_DN4IhjQk?...

I’m humbled to release a new essay next week in GRATE, an arts-adjacent print quarterly, at Da Vinci Art Alliance Friday, February 28, 2025 from 6-8pm. My text “Dislocated Art Worker” is a personal reflection on navigating the closure of University of the Arts last summer.

It is always rewarding to have your work written about, but in this instance it is even more so because it is a favorite project that connected me to so many people: Notes for a People’s Atlas. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... and read more here: peoplesatlas.com
