Put some distance between you and the girl who is rushing home, terrified she’ll get hurt in the street. Offer to care for your neighbor’s kids while she talks to her friend about her pain and her fear. Scream the same facts and figures again and again, because they continue to not be okay. Speak up, speak up, speak up. Reiterate.

It was never about bringing them into the modern world. It has always been about moulding Indigenous peoples into a Western ideal, to make us compatible with the current capitalist hegemony.

It’s so sad to even think that this issue is still prevalent today and I can only pray that this disease can be extracted from this great nation through awareness and action. The greatness of this nation can only be measured by how its citizens and our neighbours are treated.

This work is not about morality, but about examining truth. I am interested in the complexity of these relationships because on one hand, the Janjaweed are men with the same fears and dreams as anyone else, even though they are the militia of the Khartoum government. It is important to show all dimensions humanity can occupy.

My German passport – the most valuable thing I have ever owned - clutched in my hands, I tried to stay calm when heavily-armed soldiers approached us to search our bags for any suspicious or dangerous items… They called it ‘the waiting area’ of the checkpoint. An overly friendly term, given the hostile atmosphere in the securitized large hall that felt more like a detention centre. A soldier, his hand resting on the large machine gun over his shoulder, ushered us through the metal turnstile.

In essence, data science is a bag of tools at the intersection of mathematics, statistics, and computer science, used to harness a large amount of data for better-informed decision making. The same tools for commercial use to generate more profits can also be used for more effective international development programs, humanitarian relief missions, and human rights protection endeavours.

After joining the Collecti.e.f 8 maars, I began to consciously analyse more and more the status of inferiority women occupy in conversations, public spaces, and even within our own homes. Women are never given the same amount of respect as men, nor the space to use their voice equally.
“When we fight for women’s rights, it’s not just for daily rights, it’s not just for equality, we are fighting for emancipation of women.”

The lag between social change and legal change has been frustrating, at the least, and insurrectionary at its most. The recent case of Maxim Neverov casts light on this shifting dynamic for young people in Russia.

My relationship with photography matured into one ruled by skepticism; I, as person in possession of the camera, have control of how this story is told. To the outside world, my photographs were evidence that I had made a tangible difference to an impoverished community, but I knew that I had done nothing but paint school walls blue.

I look down at the lapel of my coat. Fuck. The badges. I forgot to take them off. Frida Kahlo and a gay flag stare back at me. I take one off, slip on the cool gold christening medal. If they don’t want me to be gay, they’ll have to at least deal with my immaculate artistic taste. Small golden Mary and Jesus stare back at me.
