Staff Pick of the Week

Growing up near the Ganga River in the cultural wellspring of Mithilia, Rambharos Jha spent much of his childhood observing the natural world and traditional arts of the region. When his father began working with a government project to breathe life into local art traditions, Rambharos had the opportunity to study Madhubani women painting walls and courtyards in their renowned Mithilia style utilizing natural dyes and pigments to depict people engaging with nature and deities.  

Inspired by these encounters, Rambharos began his artistic painting career in line with the traditional motifs of Hindu mythology but has since evolved his practice to better represent his personal experiences and experimental mediums. Waterlife, published in 2012 by Tara Books, is a culmination of Rambharos’s efforts to balance the delicate traditions of Mithilia art with his contemporary ideas. Waterlife is silkscreen-printed by hand on handmade cotton paper and masterfully plays with adding movement and new subjects and environments to the classic Mithilia medium marrying Rambharos’s childhood memories and folk legends.

Ive been on this account for 10 years and i wanted to remember the times i've met with people tumblr has brought into my life since my early teen years. I may not talk to some anymore (not for any particular reason, we just grew apart) but i still treasure our memories and wish them the best!

-Alex, whom i met through our shared love of musicals when she was still in middle school. We're from the same city and met to go to the theatre, and she has been my irl ever since to the point i forget this is how we met actually. As time went on we did develop a bunch of irl school and extracurricular acquaintances, i dont think any of them know how we actually met lol. Actually maybe one person, whom i also met through tumblr but she went to my high school so im not sure if it counts... if it does add her to the list too. She gave me her copy of radio silence in the early days of the pandemic and i shared loveless with her (i didnt really like the latter:/)

-India, my first internet friend. We had been friends for years and at 16 i flew with my mom to ireland for a few days to see wicked together. See how it all goes back to musicals for me... she now works in theatre and im so happy seeing the occasional instagram story, even if we eventually grew apart. I think about you a lot

-Maura, whom I started talking to while living in the US, and asked if she'd like to drive from west virginia to dc while i was on a trip. Her mom was outside in the car iirc, i infiltrated her into my hotel room, and we just chatted for a bit until the chaperones came to check and lock us in... i hid her in the bathroom, and then snuck her out with a hood on while the chaperones were talking to the room next to ours right before sticking those papers into the door that would tell them in the morning if anyone opened it overnight. The random girls i was paired to share a room with thought it was creepy im bringing a stranger to the room but like... tsk, you just dont get it. She's not a stranger, she's a mutual. Go back to breaking up with your american boyfriend over the phone.

-Anna, who saw I was depressed on main 2 years ago and said she'll come to my city to buy me bubble tea. And then we walked around and had ramen too and i learned she was skipping school to be here. A lovely day in an otherwise shitty semester.

-Moth, probably the only person you'd know if you follow me for enstars since, well, they're the himeruP mutual ever. Fun geography fact, belgium isnt a real country, it's just a backdrop for us to hang out. They build it up and tear it down just for us every time. They have such a nice handmade crazyb jacket and the enstars bible book is still my most treasured possession.

I think that is it? If i missed anyone i'm very sorry... here's to 10 years more? Maybe i should keep this for my exact blog anniversary in september... maybe i'll get to add to it by then?

EDIT I FORGOT SCHOOL ANON. Anon who goes to my uni and then we happened to share a course a few months later and finally met and we're irls now:)

"Power concedes nothing without demand", Melanie Cervantes, December 2022, Screen Print • sold on the Justseeds store

More context from the listing on Justseeds

5 - Color Handmade Screen Print,140 lb/300gsm Canson cold press watercolor paper, Printed in my kitchen San Leandro, CA 2020 Edition of 70

One of my favorite quotes is from a speech delivered by Frederick Douglass on August 3, 1857 on “West India Emancipation” at Canandaigua, New York.

The full quote that I find so inspirational and which I believe elevates the need for organization among oppressed peoples is:

“Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

Puppet Theatre Around the World, a Pleasant Surprise

There are so very many different types of puppet theatre around the world! Here, I will create a sort of "tasting menu" of differing experiences that we have examined. I'd first like to venture to Brazil for Mamulengo: The Theater of Laughter. Local Brazilian puppet shows like these exist primarily in the state of Pernambuco, combining witty and humor with music, storytelling, and heavy political satire. These puppets are typically handmade from wood or cloth and depict a wide range of stock characters. (I see some Comedia del Arte here, folks!) Short sketches draw from popular culture, folklore, oral traditions. The performances are lively and scathingly critical of the government, power dynamics, and the struggles of the working class; they also carry influences from a variety of cultures through their colonial history. Next, let's take a trip to the continent of Asia. Now, there is a wide variety of categories of puppetry in Asia, but one that I found particularly intriguing were shadow puppets. When I think of shadow puppets, I think of the ones that we were taught to make with our hands as children. The puppets from Asia that I am referring to are flat and transparent. They are crafted from leather or paper, and are rather ubiquitous across several Asian countries (India, Thailand, China, etc.) Seeing shadow puppetry as a performance and cultural display rather than a simple children's game opened my eyes. It shows me that the simplest of elements can create an elaborate story. Finally, Russia and Czechoslovakia. Specifically, Russian and Czech folk theatre and puppetry. Morality plays in figurines. These performances prioritize adaptations of stories of old. Greek tragedies like Elektra, or Shakespeare. There are also puppetry performances that discuss serious social justice issues such as medical propaganda and political strife. I had no idea that puppetry could hold space for such elaborate plotlines and can provide such insight into the darker corners of the world around us.

Khadi Paper Chick by Natee

Watercolour on Khadi paper, handmade in India from recycled cotton rag, painted image approximately 55 x 60 mm, paper size approximately 124 x 114 mm.

An excercise in allowing the washes to do their thing, even though this still took deceptively longer to paint than appears. I still couldn’t relinquish control entirely and still fussed and fiddled.
