Are you aware of any interesting depictions of disaster response and relief in art?

I'm especially interested in community collaboration, rebuilding, not just "handing out the care packages".

It’s a really common question, and the short answer is: not all deaf people find captions (subtitles) easy or natural to follow, especially if their first language is sign language like BSL (British Sign Language) rather than English.

Design your website like a nice restaurant

I see the same argument play out over and over online: someone complains that all websites look the same and someone else says that’s a good thing since it makes them easier to use. But it’s not all or nothing! Websites can be interesting and distinct while still being intuitive. Add some ambience!

The Barcode as a design object

The barcode is an incredibly interesting and rather unique graphic device. Very few graphic inventions have shaped the visual landscape of our everyday lives as quietly and ubiquitously as the barcode.

Solastalgia by Swedish artist Tommy Mäkinen aka Vegan Flava @veganflava at Snösätra Graffiti Wall of Fame, Snösätragränd 1, 124 60 Bandhagen, Stockholm, Sweden in June 2025 as part of Spring Beast Festival 2025 @snosatra. Photos taken August 2025.
⠀⠀⠀
"Coined by the philosopher Glenn Albrecht in 2003 solastalgia emphasizes the psychological impact of environmental degradation. The deeper sense of unease and grief when one’s familiar environment is being altered or degraded over time or devastated in sudden disasters.

Sadly, this is something that more and more people are experiencing and will continue to increase. I came across the word several years ago and was deeply moved when I undertood the meaning of it and thought it is a very useful word. To have language in difficult times, written, spoken or a visual language through art is important." @veganflava Aug. 22, 2025
