I was born in 1967 in Chalmette, Louisiana (St. Bernard Parish), a suburb of New Orleans so close to the city that is is the actual site of the 1815 Battle of New Orleans. I did not know that my father moved to Chalmette in the mid-1950s as part of the “white flight” from New […]| deutsch29: Mercedes Schneider's Blog
Ce week-end, avec quelques pots remplis de peinture et des billes en acier, nous avons marqué un élément de la gentrification, au 28 de la Wolfgang-Heinze-Straße, dans le quartier de Connewitz, à Leipzig.

But it no longer feels like home for many who've built their lives there.View Post| Ajam Media Collective
Credo occorra soffermarsi su alcuni elementi che la trasformazione delle città occidentali, europee, ha prodotto, unitamente alla riformulazione, verticalizzazione dell’abitare con conseguente scompaginamento degli assetti abitativi precedenti; si è verificata una vera e propria polverizzazione del tessuto sociale, come testimonia il caso di Milano. Non solo i ricchi, ma soprattutto una serie di figure [...]| Effimera

Grocery stores in SoHo are few and far between. The most well-known SoHo food store was Dean & Deluca, but it wasn’t your everyday grocery.

It’s defiant to take up physical space as a woman or a femme; it’s confrontational to wear nail polish as a man or a masc. Daily antagonisms are both empowering and tend to increase vulnerability.
