Day 26: Art

Today’s prompt is to talk about the art created in your setting by those who inhabit it. Art is a broad concept but also can be very personal to the cultures and individuals who live there. Its an expression, an interpretation, a way of passing down a narrative or just a fingerprint of the lives that they lived to the next generation.

When thinking about the role of art in your world, remember that paintings are not the only source of art. There’s also writing, dance, sculpture, architecture, embroidery, anything that requires a personal touch. Art can create appeal to break out the monotony of pure function. It can be used to inspire in your world. A space colony with an artificial sky to remind its inhabitants of their roots as a planet dwelling race. Unique storytelling styles steeped in tradition passed from master to apprentice in order to keep the past alive in the hearts of those who tell it and those who hear it. A piece of clothing with a brilliant blue color that pops energetically against the red sand of a desert to demand attention.

With that, get creating, and GET BUILDING!

‘Golden wombs’ collaboration with my best friend little soph (insta @sophiegloverdrawing) For the strength, beauty, power and tenderness of womanhood. Goldwork by the genius that is soph, womb by me.

“Bilingualism strikes me as a kind of synesthesia. Instead of seeing colors associated with letters and words, instead of hearing melodies, what I hear with language is the play and echo of the other language. The option to say it differently, and thus to live it differently. Language is not only a means of communication or description. It’s a framework in which we process existence. Yi writes: “It is hard to feel in an adopted language, yet it is impossible in my native language.” As every bilingual person and translator knows, there are certain words—a feeling, a way of being—that is absent in one language but perfectly brought to life in another. A word that, by existing, gives permission to be. What if you need that which does not exist in your language?”

Kamchatka Italy-based photographer Isabella Tabacchi has captured breathtaking photos of the Kamchatka peninsula, a land in the far east of Russia. Her purpose was to discover a natural scenery that, except for some little towns and the city Petropavlovsk-Kamčatskij, is totally made of pristine nature, forests and huge volcanoes. The nature of Kamchatka is still mostly unknown, it’s really dangerous and it changes continuously, so she explored the peninsula with the help of two local guides.
