Kudos to FF2’s Jessica Bond for her inspiring new feature on photographer Marilyn Stafford.

“I think of myself as a storyteller, speaking through the lens of my camera. I have always endeavored to find a way to bring awareness to the public eye, to tell stories that are socially relevant and to create change for the better.” As Jess shows, Marilyn was dedicated “to depicting the stories of those who have been left voiceless.

"I had the great good fortune of seeing Julie in her debut performance, and she was, in a word, luminescent. She capably pulled us through Fanny Brice’s emotional journey from starry-eyed girl (who thinks the stage is all that matters) to heartbroken woman (who knows painfully well it is not)." - Mara Sandroff on @Jujujuliebee

Reflecting on Yayoi Kusama’s ‘Narcissus Garden’

May 1st was the 56th anniversary of Yayoi Kusama’s controversial exhibit “Narcissus Garden” at the 33rd Venice Biennale. The exhibit was meant to confront narcissism as well as make a statement on art consumerism, but Yayoi was actually barred from participating! After being expelled from the Venice Biennale for what was deemed a radical art showing, Yayoi opened “Narcissus Garden” in other locations including Brazil and New York. @yayoikusama_

Zines v Chapbooks: On Finding Yourself in a Collection

"Vehicles for individual expression continue to multiply. New technologies make additional options available — from blogs and vlogs to Instagram and TikTok — but the feel of actual paper-in-hand continues to hold its own in an increasingly disembodied universe of publications.

If 'zines' are to magazines what 'chapbooks' are to full-length books, then what’s the big difference between them?" - Pascale Potvin
