Campus style is the best style—we don’t make the rules.

Eloise, a fashion history and sociology major, says her style inspiration comes from a variety of people: “The women in my family, my friends, and Björk.” Björk is so real. Swipe to see how @EloiseMoulton and 12 other @nyuniversity students bring their personal style to campus.

🩸 elysium 🩸

A project that i’ve been thinking about since 2022, before I really know what it would ultimately be about. It was a very formative experience to create a small piece of it over a few months last semester, and to display it in my department at NYU. As my peers and I developed our ideas into reality, we printed, framed, and installed our own work — which I think is important to highlight as students and artists. I’m very proud of how it came out, and can’t wait to expand upon it in the future.

Thanks for everyone who came to our show, and anyone who’s supported in the last few months!

If you’d like to see it in person before May, DM me🩷🩸

this is a moment of collective revolutionary reawakening. this is decolonization in action, reminding us that it never has been and never will be a metaphor. this is exciting and should fill you with a sense of revolutionary optimism and reinvigorate you for a wave of escalating direct action. 🌹

we must recognize that our struggles are one, that our collective liberation is bound up with one another. we must recognize that colonizers and capitalists WANT us to think our opinions are unpopular. they want us to feel isolated in our struggle and in our activism. they want us to feel alone. we cannot let them demoralize us. now is not the time for weeping. now is the time for resistance and disruption and revolution.

we, the people, call for an immediate ceasefire and cutting of all military aid to israel, for the allowance of humanitarian aid into Gaza, and for the end of the israeli apartheid regime’s occupation. we call for the end to ALL occupations and for the freedom of ALL oppressed peoples, WITHOUT EQUIVOCATION! palestinians, in occupied palestine and in the diaspora, show us what resilience looks like: generation after generation until liberation. we thank them for this, and we fight alongside them. 🤝

300,000+ people came to DC to stand up for palestinian freedom. hundreds of thousands engaged in similar protests worldwide. these demonstrations fill me with so much hope. i hope they do the same for you.

may we be united in our liberatory struggle, fueled by solidarity, and invested in the building of a global beloved community. may palestine be free within our lifetimes, and may its freedom break chains of oppression worldwide. amen.
