The Laulu Shawl is done. Not gonna lie, I got a little bit obsessed with this project and couldn't put it down even a little. So it was done, start to finish, in two weeks. Just such an addictive pattern. (by Sari Nordlund)

Two strands held together. One Gjestal Fryd (middle gray, that I dyed green) and one Novita Tuuli.

Søsterskap highlights photographers’ strong role over several generations in the Nordic countries. The exhibition explores the welfare state from a perspective of intersectional feminism. Often referred to as ‘the Nordic model’, this system is characterized by a public sector that provides all citizens with social security and welfare services, including daycare and education, and has brought significant improvement to living and working conditions. Basic values underlying the model are openness, tolerance, and the conviction that all people are equal. “The welfare state is a woman’s best friend” is a feminist slogan.

The exhibition brings together photographers based in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. Since the 1980s, we have witnessed many active photographers, whose works–based on different approaches from documentary to conceptual–reflect the socio-political context of the welfare state.

The interplay between photography and this social democratic model is here seen as a key factor in defining the panorama of camerawork from the region. The project makes this model visible while questioning certain aspects, harnessing photography to investigate the friction between the subjective, the collective and the political as it plays out within the welfare state. Family life, gender roles, labor, ethnicity, and colonialism are some of the topics discussed in Søsterskap, which also considers the darker sides of the welfare state based on exclusion and continuous economic growth that is accelerating the global ecological crisis.

Research: Interviewing People with a Learning Disability

The demographic that I am focusing my documentary allowed is young people with a learning difficulty, this is a demographic that is often overlooked and, when they are reported on are not always treated with the same level of consideration and respect as those without a learning difficulty. This is maybe due to the same assumption as that which causes their mental health issues to be ignored, that due to their communication difficulties their views are assumed to be inadequate or irrelevant. I am very aware of this and want to take all precautions I can so as to not only involve people with a learning difficulty actively in the production but also, when reporting, to treat them with respect and use the right language.

I found this resource online of a journalist's guide to interviewing someone with a learning difficulty produced by Mencap charity. Mencap are a charity and organisation that seek to aid and improve the lives of those with a learning difficulty, and I have seen first-hand the good work they can do. Started by Judy Fryd, a mother frustrated with the utter lack of support for her disabled daughter, Mencap is a charity that works to be "leading voice of learning disability", with over 300 local networks across England, Northern Ireland, and Wales. They are driven by a recognition that no one should face disadvantage or lesser quality of life because of a disability. Through advocacy work, fundraising, social outreach projects, and the dissemination of information they have helped advance the position of people with a learning disability immeasurably.

One of the their projects that has been most beneficial for Esther is the social and youth groups that they have set up. These groups, run for all ages from very young to very old, have been crucial for the social wellbeing of people with a disability. They provide not only a safe space but an incredibly social one, organising activities, trips, residentials, and also just being a place to relax. These opportunities are all too often denied those with disabilities, and this can have extremely isolating and negative effects.

Mencap often provides very useful and clear guides on important topics, from recipe guides through to political manifestos. This guide was very valuable to me, as it made me aware of things I had not even considered, such as the small difference of using the term "person with a learning difficulty" as opposed to "people with learning difficulties". Only upon being made aware of this can I see how actually the former is far more humanising and specific to the individual than the latter, thus treating them with more respect.

Going forth I will be conscious of the advice they provide in this guide, ensuring that I follow the steps they advise, such as explaining the recording equipment in interviews, and using the most respectful language.

What I still need to look into is the process of obtaining consent from individuals who have been legally declared unable to provide consent, such as my sister. This could prove to be an obstacle for the interviews, and therefore I need to research this thoroughly. So far, however, I think that I am on track with the doc and am hopeful for the weeks to come, as I start to move from pre-production to production.

Developer Rishi Kapoor lands approval for mixed-use co-living project in South Beach

Rendering of the project and Rishi Kapoor

Developer Rishi Kapoor is a step closer to bringing his Urbin Retreat concept to South Beach.

Kapoor and his partners won the unanimous endorsement of the Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board Tuesday afternoon for a mixed-use co-living and hotel development on Washington Avenue.

Unless the decision is appealed, the developer can now move forward with demolishing a one-story retail building at 1260 Washington Avenue that was constructed in 1948, to replace it with a six-story building with 56 hotel rooms, 49 co-living units and suites, a 104-seat restaurant, a rooftop pool deck, and micro-retail, according to records filed with the city. The neighboring four-story office building at 1234 Washington Avenue, which was built in 1961, will be renovated and preserved.

The project also includes a “green buffer” facing Drexel Avenue with shaded trees, an outdoor conference area, community gardens, a community water filling station (which utilizes rain water collected by cisterns), and publicly accessible outdoor phone charging stations. There will also be solar panels on the top roof.

Kapoor, founder of Coral Gables-based Location Ventures, told the board that Urbin Retreat’s goal is to promote “inclusion in the urban core” in a “preservation-oriented” way.

“Our ultimate purpose here is more attainable housing in desirable areas,” he said.

Location Ventures is under contract to purchase 1234 and 1260 Washington Avenue from 1234 Partners Ltd., a venture that includes prominent Miami Beach property owner Jonathan Fryd and the Resnick family. Both office buildings last sold in 1994 for $2.8 million.

Urbin Retreat is one of five Urbin residential projects planned by Location Ventures within Miami-Dade. In October, Kapoor told The Real Deal that he intended to rent out the residential units at South Beach’s Urbin Retreat between $1,000 and $2,000 a month.

Kapoor’s partners in the South Beach Urbin Retreat project include real estate developer David Martin, Banyan Street Capital’s Rudy Touzet, payment processing company UnitedTranzactions founder Marty Halpern, and former NFL player Jonathan Vilma.

The SoFla lowdown: Trump Group’s big loan, spec home partners form amid slowdown and investors target mobile home parks

Jules Trump, Philip Levine, Alex Ruiz, rendering of The Estates of Acqualina

A Trump-sized loan: It was among the biggest financing deals to hit the South Florida condo market. The Trump Group’s $558 million construction loan for The Estates at Acqualina in Sunny Isles turned heads. Not surprisingly, it was Bank OZK that provided the loan. Formerly Bank of the Ozarks, the deal again shows the Arkansas-based bank’s aggressiveness  in the local condo market, where it has financed much of the recent boom.

With the funding, Jules Trump, (no relation to the president) his wife Stephanie and his brother Eddie now can build both 50-story towers of The Estates at Acqualina, as well as the amenity villa, called Villa Acqualina. That’s a change in direction for the developers. In 2016, Jules Trump had put sales and construction of the $1.5 billion project’s north tower on hold amid the market slowdown.

Trump recently said that sales are above 65 percent for the south tower, which broke ground in May. With markets like Brazil and Russia pulling back on foreign spending, the developers have switched their focus to the U.S., including those markets in the Northeast that have state income tax, he said.

From mobile home to multifamily: As developers search for land, an increasing number are targeting mobile home parks. A joint venture of Prestige Companies and Summit Property Group wants to build a $100 million multifamily community — with up to 800 apartments — to replace a mobile home park near the planned Ludlam Trail in Miami.

Power partners: Amid a slowdown in luxury spec home development in Miami Beach, a new partnership team has formed with an eye on Palm Beach. Todd Michael Glaser, former Miami Beach mayor and one-time gubernatorial hopeful Philip Levine, Scott Robins and Jonathan Fryd bought a Palm Beach site with plans to build two luxury spec homes. It’s the group’s first deal together, and they’re hoping for a big payback. The partners paid $9 million for the site, and intend to spend another $7 million on construction. Once completed, they’ll price the completed spec homes at $15.5 million and $12.5 million, for a total of $28 million — which could net them a $12 million profit.

Off with their price: Now for a reminder that there is a limit to everything, even ultra-luxury home prices. A Versailles-inspired estate in Hillsboro Beach that has been on and off the market for years — and was priced at up to $159 million — is now heading to auction, without a reserve price.

Not having the brain to count or think and make decisions for a garment rn, no matter how hype I am about another summer top or tee, I cast on the Laulu Shawl (my spring is apparently all about Sari Nordlund's patterns...) the other day. And after a couple of false starts, because the gauge seemed... Super weird to me (but I've never done a cable shawl or knit with mohair before). So I blocked it and decided that no, I did prefer the 4.5mm needles (I tried 4, 4.5, 5 and 5.5mm). So here it is now! And this color combo. Yikes I'm in love. The mohair is Novita Tuuli and the wool one is Gjestal Fryd that I've overdyed green from a mid gray. So quite a cooler green, that still leans towards yellow. Together they make music! Which can be fitting, laulu is a word for song in Finnish (apparently, I don't speak it myself).

But can I take a moment and ask if anyone else also have had trouble finding a mohair that's a nice green color? All I see is dark dark dusty, or light light pastels. So boring. Give me color! That's not neon. So I was so happy when I found this shade in Tuuli. I've heard that Tuuli will bleed a lot in the wash, but honestly, I don't really mind if it does in this project, haha!

The Laulu Shawl is rather small, just a shawlette in the pattern. But I have 600 meters of each strand, so I plan to knit it much bigger, as I'm not much for the shawlette style myself.

History of Men Whining Over Women Artists Winning

This article was originally published on December 2, 2015 but we think it still rocks!

It's an unfortunate occurrence all too common to chemistry but history, for the better part of the 19th through 21st centuries, has proved the tale almost archetypal in its commonness: a woman rises to prominence only to have a man lay claim to their successes. It was Charles Annan who, in 1868, entered the shop where Margaret E. Knight's paper bag machine was being invented and decided the patent would look better bearing his name; Otto Hahn who took the name of German professor Lise Meitner—Germany's first woman professor—off the monumental co-authored paper that would announce the idea of nuclear fission; and Charles Babbage who would initially come to receive full credit for Ada Lovelace's inauguration of computer programming. But while Annan, Meitner, and Babbage would each receive their respective reckonings, what remains insidious are the curious cases of women's contributions being overshadowed in the world of art.

"It's tough," Björk told Pitchfork in a feature depressingly titled "The Invisible Woman." "Everything that a guy says once, you have to say five times. Girls now are also faced with different problems. I've been guilty of one thing: After being the only girl in bands for 10 years, I learned—the hard way—that if I was going to get my ideas through, I was going to have to pretend that they—men—had the ideas."

"I can't use an outside engineer," Grimes echoed the statement in an interview with The New Yorker. "Because, if I use an engineer, then people start being, like, 'Oh! That guy just did it all.'" It happened to Georgia O'Keeffe the same as it did to both the female members of Krewella, and even to Alice Glass, the vocal powerhouse formerly of Crystal Castles.

All but shocked at her ability to circumnavigate what he called "Male Shackles," in his essay "Woman in Art," in not only laying claim to O'Keeffe's success, photographer Alfred Stieglitz probes what is perhaps the fundamental misgiving behind these sorts of situations. As detailed by Vivien Green Fryd in Art and the Crisis of Marriage: Edward Hopper and Georgia O'Keeffe, Stieglitz writes, "The Woman receives the world through her Womb," explaining that for women, the creative impulse "is childbearing." "Having nurtured her creativity and helped to mold her an artist," Fryd states, "he reasoned he had given birth to his wife [O'Keeffe] as an artist."

Which is a gross thought, in and of itself, but not grossly uncommon enough that it can be so easily rooted out of history's annals. Yet. "That's the way the game is played," Dr. Solomon Snyder so graciously clarified after being given the Albert Lasker Award in 1979 for then-graduate student Dr. Candace Pert's discovery of the brain's opioid receptors, an award which Pert's name was entirely left off of. Pert's obituary in The New York Times features a photo of her and Snyder side-by-side, Solomon unfortunately caught in a gaze that screams "How can I keep this discovery for myself?" It's a cunning gaze neither uncommon to Salvador Dalí in photos with wife and muse, Gala, nor Charles to partner Ray Eames.

Candace Pert and Dr. Solomon H. Snyder, presumably before Snyder got the Albert Lasker Award

But beyond depressingly standard sexism in too many industries, what is it that accounts for the consistency of backlash in art? Why now, for instance, is Ulay suing to get his name on Marina Abramovic-held projects? Some say it's biology—in a press release surrounding a 2013 study of the effects of women's success on men, psychologists Kate Ratliff and Shigehiro Oishi found "evidence that men automatically interpret a partner's success as their own failure, even when they're not in direct competition"—but our best guess is bad habits built up over time.

In a perceived "Dude World," a woman's success is something we feel the need to justify, to mansplain. And even if well-intentioned, it's this kind of thinking that perpetuates this kind of fraught historicizing, in turn perpetuating old-hat ideas—*cough, copyright*—that stifle innovation while generating friction between sexes and identities. In changing times like these, it seems best to combine guidance from two venerated women artists. "There are always those who want to tell women that their experiences are not valid or not important whenever they speak up," says artist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh.

Says Marilyn Minter, on female artists getting the dues they deserve: "I think if you have something to say, I really believe that it will be seen. You may not be alive but the body of work that you make, the zeitgeist, will hit it."
