Graphics, feminism, and expiration

Above: An old photo (reworked) of The Curiosity Index, an amazing graphic design project I had the pleasure of encountering this past fall at a reading for Storyscape Journal.

In other news, I am looking forward to attending this tomorrow:

Reading: Hester Eisenstein “Feminism Seduced” With Silvia Federici
In “Feminism Seduced: How Global Elites Use Women’s Labor and Ideas to Exploit the World,” Eisenstein updates the argument of the relationship between Marxism and feminism, and offers a compelling, historically grounded analysis, indicating that ideas from women’s liberation and empowerment movements are now in service by global elites to legitimate social inequalities. Please join Eisenstein and Silvia Federici (”Caliban and the Witch”) for a fateful discussion about feminism’s role in seeking alternatives to corporate capitalism.

A rundown of certain news stories that caught my interest over the past few weeks hopefully coming soon… Is there an expiration date to the news? Could it potentially be problematic if the answer, which it obviously is, is yes?
