Que alguien le avise a mis papás, que mis fotos salieron en el @nytimes 🥹🙌🏽

Últimamente me invade una melancolía especial por todo lo que se nos está acabando. Personas que admiramos. Pedazos de tierra y de mar tratando de sobrevivir. Animales despidiéndose del planeta. Gestos humanos que antes eran naturales y hoy sorprenden.

Ir a fotografiar al caracol púrpura fue un clavado directo en ese sentimiento.

Ver el compromiso de tantos por un ideal. El maestro Habacuc y Rafael dando literalmente la vida por defender un caracol, un tinte que sostiene a su familia y a su comunidad. Biólogos y antropólogos poniendo años, recursos y experiencia al servicio de lo mismo. Una periodista haciendo miles de preguntas en otro idioma, con empatía (y con una alergia que negaba hasta que casi la mata, por no querer perderse ni un solo día).

El caracol está en peligro, pero también otras cosas: el orgullo y la posibilidad de portar la vestimenta tradicional en las nuevas generaciones; personas que sostienen sus causas aun cuando la cosa se pone difícil; quienes defienden su identidad día a día. Está en peligro el esfuerzo, el tiempo invertido en lo vital, el compromiso.

Recuerdo ver al maestro Habacuc y pensar: nos estamos quedando sin caracoles, pero también sin seres como él.

Que esta historia haya sido portada en el periódico más importante del mundo me hace pensar que, a lo mejor, lo importante aún tiene espacio en la tierra. Que quizá inspire a seguirlo protegiendo, a seguir vistiendo —y vestirnos— con orgullo de piezas que nacen de una historia profunda. Que nos recuerde que hacer las cosas con convicción, desde el amor, sí merece la pena y encuentra sus propios caminos.

El enlace para que pasen a leer esta historia que tiene que ver con el nombre de este caracol y su protección legal lo encuentran en mi Bio 👆🏽.

No olviden que el verdadero lujo en este mundo es lo artesanal: @tintorerosmixtecos @artesania_monyhdez

What a beautiful evening. Full of gratitude for everyone who came from near and far to experience Nature Deficit Disorder and celebrate together at the Baltimore Museum of Art.

Special thanks to Asma Naeem, Kevin Tervala, Katie Cooke, and the entire @baltimoremuseumofart team for stewarding this exhibition with such care. Deep gratitude to Amy Elias and the Pearlstone Family Foundation and to Darren Walker and @fordfoundation - your belief in this work means the world.

And to the people of Baltimore: thank you for welcoming me so warmly. It is a joy to spend time in your beautiful city.

Nature Deficit Disorder is on view through May 31.

I loved reporting this story! (My little ER visit notwithstanding.) Here are some visual notes.

1. Habacuc’s yarn turning purple. Unlike most natural dyes, tixinda doesn’t need a mordant to bind it to fibers. It smells like the sea.
2. The snails mainly eat chitons, another kind of mollusk that attach themselves to rocks in the tidal zone.
3. A pile of broken chiton shells: evidence of poaching in these protected bays. Don’t order seafood cócteles if you visit Huatulco! They often contain snails & chitons.
4. Microscopic enlargement of the radula, the feeding organ snails use to penetrate other shelled mollusks
5. It’s tiny! Just that little pink dot in the droplet on the dish
6. Habacuc searching for snails. Insanely nimble at 85.
7. The largest snails Rafael found that day. These have become rare
8. Scorpion I found in my pants one morning
9. But it was a wasp that got me. Turns out I’m very allergic! (Dorky.) This is hour 3 on an IV after passing out
9. Worth it 📸 @mariajosezavala_

A recent dive into my image vault revealed a fantastic archive of memories from a wonderful time of artistic energy unleashed - the 18 months from February 2012 to July 2013 when @mauriziocattelan and Massimiliano Gioni’s experimental art space, Family Business, was a flashpoint of the NYC contemporary art scene, at 251 West 21st Street.

Along with artist and Family Business gallery director @daria_irincheeva, I had the unique opportunity as production director to present approximately 25 exhibitions and 60 related events in a completely freeform and iconoclastic manner that playfully challenged the established norms of the New York art world.

With exhibitions that presented artists in their first ever showings such as @marilynminter’s Virgin Shows I-V that introduced @austinleee, @andrewbrischler, @rebeccccaward, @davidmramor, @johnszlasa, @ericmistretta, @nickbakita, @elighalpern, and @jaysonmusson among many others; to “Toasting to The Revolution” curated by @daria_irincheeva that first presented works in the United States by Pussy Riot collective artists @galqueena and @davidteroganyan; to live music events, block parties, performances, film screenings, and even taking Family Business on the road and presenting the largest ever zine exhibition in St. Petersburg, Russia, titled “TAMIZDAT”, West 21st Street has not seen such an explosive expression of artistic fury since.

It’s impossible to include everyone who exhibited, performed, and contributed to the experience that was Family Business, but many great and long-lasting friendships were made, collaborations begun, exhibitions planned, and incalculable inspiration ignited. As they appear in this post, I’d like to send a shout out to several exhibiting artists, gallery interns, and visiting regulars that made up a big part of the ‘family’ including @newyorkbecker and @whitehotmagazine, @lludus, @babikova.maria, @santaanna, @brendan_stumpf, @ryantrecartin @zoelescaze, @katehgilmore, @andreabelag, @hansulrichobrist, @robertasmithnyc, @jerrysaltz, and @lauramurrayart.

There’s a form of covert hypnosis that cult leaders love. It may have even been used on you already without your permission.

Learn more about the science of persuasion—and how to protect yourself from manipulators—in season one of MIND GAMES

Neuro-linguistic programming, or NLP, is the pseudoscientific belief that neurological processes can be changed through alterations to language and behavioral patterns. And that these changes can help you reach your goals.

The new @kscope_nyc & @iheartpodcast “Mind Games” is diving into NLP full force - covering its creators, practitioners, and even trying out the practices.

Sarah spoke with co-host @alicehines_ about being taught how to use NLP tactics on others in NXIVM and how her views on NLP are now vastly different than Nancy Salzman’s - who was also interviewed for the episode.

We’ve loved listening to this deep dive with Alice and her friend and fellow journalist @zoelescaze - and will be continuing the conversation in a few weeks when we welcome Alice to A Little Bit Culty.

Take a listen to Mind Games on @applepodcasts, @spotifypodcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts and then let us know what questions YOU have for Alice about NLP.

This week, we’re talking ‘human technology’ — specifically, neuro-linguistic programming, or NLP. If you have any interest in modern day cults like NXIVM or Twin Flames Universe, you may have heard of it. But did you know that NLP also has roots in therapeutic practices like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy, or that Tony Robbins was an NLP practitioner before becoming a motivational speaker?

In the new podcast Mind Games, journalists and best friends Alice Hines and Zoë Lescaze investigate the origins of NLP, from its roots in the new age movement in 1970s California through the pick-up artist trend of the early 2000s. They even try their hand at hypnotizing themselves. But does it work?
