Toxico Cultura › FRAUM BLAUM
Eunice's on-going project follows a group of Menonite women who live in Durango, Mexico; the community they live in is one of the most isolated and conservative social structures in our country, and a world unto itself. Eunice had noticed that Menonite women are usually portrayed as being somber and submissive; she is looking to portray a more intimate aspect of their lives, showing those sides of their personalities and communal interactions where their life...

- Today VACATION (2010) - BFFA3AE
-
Based on the idea of summer VACATION, BFFA3AE will program the 179 Canal website to reflect the discovery and unraveling of this season. Summer is an aberration in our year, a time where heat takes over our lives and a productive diligence is thrown to the wayside.

We anticipate this time of year with a child like earnestness and we willfully throw ourselves in... (more)

one's website. Not only do... (more)
