From ‘Emergence’ Magazine….
by Stephanie Krzywonos
Nonfiction writer Stephanie Krzywonos opens a door into the histories of our most iconic and desired pigments, from ochre to bone black, lapis lazuli to mummy brown. In our earliest attempts to recreate the magnificent colors of Earth for our art, garments, make-up, and more, we mixed and alchemized matter drawn from the flesh of the Earth Herself. Stephanie follows a spectrum of colors from these origins, through the entangled webs of colonialism, capitalism, and the more-than-human world, to their synthetic replication and mass production, inviting us to see how our colors hold stories of both lightness and darkness.”

From ’38 Degrees’……
“This week, a UN inquiry has officially reported that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. More than 60,000 people have been killed, a famine has been declared and, right now, thousands of people are fleeing as Israeli troops push into Gaza city. [1]
It’s devastating, and we fear this crisis is far from ending. But there are small, powerful ways that the 38 Degrees community can show up and take a stand against these atrocities.
You’re one of hundreds of thousands of people who’ve already taken action on Gaza over the past few months – so we wanted to share a few more ways you can help make a difference today:
Support local community kitchens in Gaza
Write to your MP to tell them that families in Gaza can’t wait
Attend the national demonstration for Palestine on 11 October
Get support on how to speak to children about the conflict here and here
Donate to our sister organisation Zazim, made up of Arabs and Jews in Israel working together against the war, and for a just peace.
By taking action online, donating to help people on the ground, or attending a demo, you’re helping to keep up the pressure on our political leaders to do all they can to stop the genocide.
Thanks for all that you do,
Olivia, Rachel, Megan and the 38 Degrees team
