robertogreco“A couple who make a good marriage, and raise a healthy, morally competent children, are serving the world's future more directly and surely than any political leader, though they never utter a public word. A good farmer who is dealing with the problem of soil erosion on an acre of ground as a sound grasp of that problem and cares more about it and is probably doing more to solve it than any bureaucrat who is talking about it in general. A man who is willing to undertake the discipline and the difficulty of mending his own ways is worth more to the conservation movement than a hundred who are insisting merely that the government and the industries mend their ways.”15"]]>haddenturner 2024 via:daniellucas democracy technocracy wendellberry local national global globalization centralization decentralization scale zoominginandout fulfillment governance government place placemaking community responsibility slow small burden individualism collectivism neighbors neighborliness environment politics distraction farms farming land bureaucracyhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:c0ce9b2b8f2e/Look to your neighbors | everything changes2024-02-20T18:32:46+00:00
https://everythingchanges.us/blog/look-to-your-neighbors/
robertogrecoWe’ve come through 75 years where having neighbors was essentially optional: if you had a credit card, you could get everything you needed to survive dropped off at your front door. But the next 75 years aren’t going to be like that; we’re going to need to return to the basic human experience of relying on the people around you.
This has been on my mind as I talk to folks who are contemplating a change in their work, and wondering about a related question: where should I work? Most people can name a few places where they know enough about the ground conditions to dismiss it as a possibility—places that are too hot or too toxic or where the risk of floods and storms is far too high. But then I watch as they scan all the other locales and contemplate if any of them are safe, or see their face fall as they imagine how to evaluate the relative safety of one place over another.
We’ve all either lived long enough to experience more than one unsafe workplace, or else we’ve heard the stories from our elders. Even the seemingly healthy places aren’t immutable, aren’t immune to the rigors of capitalism and investor brain worms. You might find that the flexible, friendly atmosphere evaporates the moment the c-suite sees clouds in the market. You might show up one day to discover that your boss has been replaced by three interest rates in a trench coat mumbling about declining productivity. You might find that you are the boss reading from a script about severance while your soul scrambles to exit your body. (I know, because I’ve been there.) You might suddenly realize that the product you were eager to work on is actually doing more harm than good, or that the fundraisers are using your org to launder filthy reputations. You might despair when you realize that the path to changing things for the better is guarded by a coterie of demons cloaked as financial instruments.
I’m inclined to agree with McKibben: no place is safe.
And yet. We can return to the basic human experience of relying on the people around us. We can get to know our neighbors and colleagues and users; we can orient our work and our lives towards them and away from the inhuman and unliving systems that want us to behave like machines. We may not be able to stop a storm from coming, but we can get together to line up sandbags and buckets, to organize mutual aid, to create places for people to talk and share their needs, to laugh and cry and howl at each clap of thunder. We may not be able to stop a layoff or exorcise the CFO but we can sure as hell take care of each other.
This is where I’m wont to say you deserve a union, and that’s true. But even more than that, you deserve to be fully human, interdependent with the people around you and the more-than-human world. The greatest lie that capitalism ever told was that risk is a solitary affair. But we can never bear the risks of work (or climate change) on our own, because we have never actually been alone.
What I’ve learned, over and over in my own work and with the people I work with, is that the only thing that saves us from uncertain and capricious futures is each other. This is not to say that you shouldn’t contemplate where you want to work, any less than you should consider where you want to live. It is to say that with whom is the more important question. It is to say that asking how do you want to be? may be the trick that gets you past the demons at the head of the path. Those demons are expecting you to show up head bowed and alone, because alone they know how to deter you. But just watch what happens when you show up with a crowd."]]>mandybrown 2024 billmckibben belonging unions humanism humans community mutualaid workplace safety neighbors neighborliness climatechange globalwarming uncertainty interconnected interconnectednesshttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:5e46a8ea25f4/Vision Con - by L.

robertogrecoIt’s like the oldest thing ever….we’re playing with the origin of music. The origin of music being: a response to others in your community, in your surroundings. And the response is intuitive! When you hum for a baby or when you’re sitting with somebody who is grieving and you, you feel compelled to hum, or when you’re excited and go, “Wow!” That’s music!
Spalding’s view of music these days opened our eyes wide to the true healing power of individual songs and just how accessible music is when we need it."

https://www.are.na/blog/with-and-without-a-firm-grasp
robertogrecoMy own view is that translation—never complete, always only an approach—is an essential element of human existence. Even among those who speak our own language, we often find we have interpreted a word in a way other than it was intended. We can never fully capture or seize the perfected meaning. If we could grasp or seize it, we would soon find that the meaning has lost its magic in captivity.1
I want to embrace translation as something that is process-oriented and impossible to perfect — something that reflects our human nature, a work-in-progress that’s perpetually and beautifully flawed. For the remainder of this essay, I’ll continue to translate a handful of words, expressions, and religious practices with the understanding that my translations are, in Sells’s words, only approaches and never complete. My translations are not definitive or authoritative; they instead aim to arrive at a conceptual throughline that positions language, warts and all, at the heart of this discussion."
...
"The circulation of printed Ramadan calendars reflects an ongoing exchange of designed data that I find interesting for a handful of reasons. Two pillars of Islam are beautifully championed in these eclectic calendars: prayer and fasting. Several languages are reflected throughout these timetables and in many instances a combination of scripts coexist side-by-side. Scale, font selection, color, and format are stretched in different directions, resulting in a wide range of typographic moves and decorative devices that effortlessly balance humanist expression with the expected functionality of a spreadsheet-calendar.
Of course, there is another reason for my interest in these printed calendars that points to technology as both an important engine in Islamic history and a more recent threat to Islamic society. Many Muslims today rely on apps and websites when seeking prayer times, since they deliver this data with speed and accuracy. Like a lot of things that have transitioned from print to web, salah apps offer a blend of convenience, immediacy, and dependability, especially for those of us who live in areas where the azan is not heard everyday. But the trade-off for this convenience is loss of privacy through data extraction and the active surveillance of Muslim communities.
Thinking back to the word amsak, today’s technology might reveal an uglier side of holding, one that comes with strings attached. Our computers, phones, and devices offer information that’s immediately available for our consumption, and while this information helps us organize our day and practice our faith, it also reinforces oppressive power dynamics that rely so heavily on capturing and controlling Muslim communities. In contrast to prayer apps and websites, imsaakiyat Ramadan is localized and handed out in-person, making it less accessible to people outside of the served community and more difficult to track and trace in real time.
Printed Ramadan calendars still pull from data that’s sourced online, so they are by no means a perfect remedy to the larger problem of tracking and surveillance. But they at least prompt people to gather and seek salah times within their immediate communities, rather than searching for prayer times on an app and in isolation. Perhaps this means that the printed calendars are like Sudani salads and the apps are like dips — easy to find, easy to contain, easy to consume without cooking. While I’m trying to distance myself from the dips, I can’t avoid them entirely, and I can’t deny their relation to our salads. Dips and salads, America and Sudan, and English and Arabic operate within a continuum that loops and fluctuates with time. These things function and fall apart and function again, taking new form at the start of each cycle and reintroducing themselves to me with an anxiety that’s rooted in optimism.
I’m holding all sides of me with and without a firm grasp as I continue this effort at approaching myself."
[Part II here:
https://www.are.na/blog/with-and-without-a-firm-grasp-part-ii
[Forough] "It wasn’t until I stepped out of my trained mindset when my design started resonating with the original references."
...
[Shiraz] "My hope is that we’re honoring and celebrating that work, not appropriating it."
...
"Forough: A valuable conversation we had early on was about visual adaptation. There’s a fine line between appreciating and appropriating design references. We were talking about to what extent we can borrow from these calendars. As designers, we need to be conscious that the visual materials we encounter and approach are informed by their complex cultural and subcultural dynamics. We need to reference those visuals consciously.
Shiraz: That’s such an important point, because it begins to address the risk of us extracting visual materials that we are inspired by (which happens a lot in graphic design). In this case, I grew up with these salah tables. I look at them as important design precedents because they stem directly from my upbringing, my childhood, my relationship to Islam. I’m not at all removed from the communities that produce these prayer timetables, but I still worry about the role I play when I’m participating in the process of designing them. There’s an interesting exchange that might be happening, a translation of different design processes maybe.
With that in mind, I’m wondering what role translation played in your process. What did you need to translate in order to design the calendar? What wasn’t familiar in the beginning, and what did you learn in the end?"
Forough: I think of translation here as both linguistic translation and cultural translation, or, more specifically, an act of religious translation. In Twelver Shi’ism, Muslims combine prayers, like midday and afternoon prayer, so many Shi'a Muslims end up praying three times a day rather than five. This calendar has all the five prayer times. So I had to double check the differences there, and make sure that I understood them correctly — to me that’s a cultural/religious translation.
We also included the Arabic and English translations of the weekdays. I looked up the Arabic translation and found some variations. In a few translations, I would see diacritic marks but in others I wouldn’t. With the central calligraphy, Ramadan Kareem, which is set in Thuluth script, I found examples where I couldn’t tell the difference between short vowel diacritics and ornamental marks. I asked a student in my class who’s fluent in Arabic to help me with this.
Another interesting thing was the numbering systems. In Arabic, four, five, and six are different from how we write those numbers in Farsi.
Shiraz: All of this brings up the question of, why Arabic and English? What languages do we use on a calendar like this, for a community that includes many different people who speak many different languages? Arabic obviously plays a big role in the Islamic faith, and a lot of the terms on Ramadan calendars are either translated or transliterated Arabic terms. But there are real questions surrounding who dominates discussions on Islamic practice, who remains more privileged, and how can we counteract or challenge that?
Forough: I think including Arabic on the calendar — even if I don’t read it or understand it — is more of a symbolic act. Even as a non-native speaker, I can recognize the form.
Shiraz: I agree, especially when we think of the role that Arabic calligraphy plays in Islamic art and architecture and how it often is preferred over pictorial images and iconography.
Forough: What is your relationship to Islam, and how has it developed and evolved throughout the years?
Shiraz: I’m an American Muslim who toggled between living in the States and visiting Sudan as a child. As I spent more time in Sudan and compared those experiences with living in the US, I found that American Muslim communities have a heightened sense of identity that is informed by our vulnerability in this country. We’re very vulnerable to different policies and threats posed against us. Because of that — because we live in the margins of American society where we are regular targets, where we’re not, you know, governed by a body that reflects us — there’s a lot that we have to preserve and protect for the sake of survival, or even for the sake of feeling grounded in our day-to-day happenings.
In the first blog post that we published at the launch of this project, I reference the word amsak, which means “to hold,” and I feel like that word is relevant here. American Muslims (as well as immigrants and diasporic folks in general) are holding onto themselves in a distinctive way. We are preserving aspects of our faith, culture, and personhood that are vulnerable to erasure and attack.
I’m wondering about your relationship to Islam and Ramadan, more specifically. Can you elaborate on your background in relation to the practices that are reflected on our calendar?
Forough: Growing up in Iran, I had a different experience of Ramadan from many practicing Muslims. In my family, a lot of religious practices and holidays received less attention than other cultural events and traditions. In my experience, I found that Muharram and more specifically Ashura held more cultural significance than Ramadan back home. The Persian New Year, which is based on the religion of Zoroastrianism, is another example that has similar, if not more significance, in my country.
It wasn’t until I started hanging out with friends in Dubai that I saw Ramadan as a religious and spiritual journey that’s experienced on a personal, internal, interpersonal, and communal level. In many Muslim countries, the everyday living experience changes slightly to accommodate Ramadan. The working hours would end by 2 pm, and the city would quiet down until iftar, becoming alive afterward until dawn."
...
"Forough: Sometimes graphic design can be an isolating process, because we don't always see our work come to life after we submit it. I can imagine distributing the Ramadan calendars in person gave you a better understanding of why this project was made and what purpose it served. It also gives you a different perspective, that graphic design is just one component of a bigger social engine.
Shiraz: Right. I try to remind myself that our work is a small scale gesture. In projects like this, graphic design helps signal or point to things that people might need to talk about. For example: do we want to rely so heavily on today’s technology for things like prayer and fasting? Or do we want to find other routes of seeking and supplying this information that gets us offline and perhaps brings us in closer physical proximity to one another? I think these are important questions that go beyond graphic design, but also directly involve graphic design.
