my first square round bowl ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿฅฐ
thatโ€™s that. on to the next season ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐ŸŒทโ™ฅ๏ธ say goodbye fondly. firmly.
#hotdocs micro-review: The Book Of The Sea // execution ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ // i actually love the storytelling structure of this documentary; itโ€™s a simple concept but effective. The animation was painstaking and breathtaking, woven with so much care into the footage of Chutkotka hunters searching for food to feed their community. i thought a lot about the bodied relationship with sustenance these people had, and how those memories and experiences live in mythology - the pulse of a people from generation to generation. โ™ฅ๏ธ i was reminded of how much i love storytelling and myth. how precious stories are to humanity, and how they can tell us a lot about right relations that are being forgotten over time, but also always asking if we can imagine beyond what we already expect.
Update: WE ARE SOLD OUT! BLESSS โ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธ ๐Ÿ™†๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ™†๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿฅฐ // @ayebbey & i upon realizing 24/25 prints are spoken for. 1 print (the monstera) left! โ™ฅ๏ธ Thanks everyone for your love. We are astounded. #twentyfive #jabscollabs ๐Ÿ“ท @teytaarik
#hotdocs micro-review: N Scott Momaday: Words From A Bear // everything ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ // House Made of Dawn was the first Indigenous book I read and part of my first encounter with the world of postcolonial lit / nonwhite lit in English so I am always tender toward it. This doc was powerful, emotional and creative at all levels, choosing to fully center Momaday and his voice, interweaving story with photos, animation, testimony and commentary together to really offer a picture of the Kiowa writer that is powerful and vibrant, poignant and reflective. Itโ€™s what a literary doc should be. Directed by Kiowa director Jeffrey Palmer, this is a love letter from one Kiowa to another, and I was pretty teary that I got to watch such a power to power piece of art ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ˜Œ
all the ways my body is being changed by my art. ๐Ÿ˜Œ i keep finding out. all this strength and steadiness i didnโ€™t know i had. growing. // ๐Ÿ“ท @teytaarik
#hotdocs micro-review: The Miracle of The Little Prince // premise ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ content essence ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ execution ๐Ÿ‘Ž ๐Ÿ‘Ž // I was v emotional at parts of the film but tbh I think the film worked against me. My attachment came from my familiarity with the literature, my own engaged understanding of colonial histories and the death / endangering of languages / respect for translators fighting to save and revitalize indigenous languages. But Boonstraโ€™s beats were monotonous. The shots were long and tedious - although I feel they were going for deep and stirring - and the voiceover readings didnโ€™t match the montages well. A bit of a waste of what could have been an amazing documentary.
@ayebbey my og art wife & OSO. Happy 24th bday u r the abby to my jabby & literally one of my favourite people to roast. wut would life hav been without ur one hit wonder comebacks? I shudder at the thought. here i am on one knee obviously proposing some scheme that is a veiled insult and u r simultaneously amused and full of hatred. ๐Ÿ˜Œ all is right in the world.
and so the opening is a kind of end. and so for everything said there are immeasurable unsaids. and so even as it ends i am given new moments. and so i go back to the poetry to look for myself and find my self waiting for me. and so i chime that old, old bell, and a new wave of echo begins. // from โ€œThe critical and the malicious grow side by side. Pay attentionโ€. #jabscollabs #twenty-five

i feel like a lot happened last month. i decided to aim towards what could be the next major step of my life. i felt an immense frustration about my current state, just because of strangers who decided to make unnecessary rules. i really felt how dangerous my mind is when left alone and how my emotions falter against lack of self belief. without the listening ears and support from my friends, colleagues, my dad and justin, i donโ€™t know how i would have survived my birthday month. #AprilBBs and abbyโ€™s words definitely kept me together with reminders. 5์›”์€ ํŽธํ•˜๊ฒŒ ํ•ด์ฃผ๊ฒ ์ง€. ์–ด์ œ๊ฐ€ ์žˆ์–ด์„œ ์˜ค๋Š˜์ด ์žˆ์œผ๋‹ˆ๊น. (photo of a very delicious cake that was my cake for an entire week)
#AprilBBs was a journey. a month long journey of reflection. answering the questions @ayebbey and i had put together didnโ€™t seem hard. these are things that have been living in my head for awhile, i just had to translate them into english (bc i naturally use korean to speak the subtlety) and into visuals. but knowing these feelings and worries that are bundled inside me will be shared publicly, i had many moments of pauses. throughout this process, i learned how much abby and i shared similar thoughts and concerns, and that so many others also related. thank you for following us on our visual existential conversation, aprilโ€™s been a ride of a month ๐Ÿ’› and thank you my fellow april bb for existing in my life (photo by @teytaarik)
#AprilBBs to @ayebbey re: to tell yourself to grow, is to be closer to the you that you wish to become.
#AprilBBs to @ayebbey re: yes you can, bb abby. and just remember to not be too hard on yourself.
#AprilBBs to @ayebbey re: becoming the person we wish to be and aligning our multiple selves. an ongoing journey of trust.
#AprilBBs to @ayebbey re: take pauses, slow down; and remember to not be too hard on yourself and always take care.
#AprilBBs to @ayebbey re: eventually our uncertain choices from the numerous will lead somewhere, they were meant to happen. but to walk with confidence, we must trust ourselves more.
#AprilBBs to @ayebbey re: a drop, sometimes even a small drop creates a ripple; how do we find calmness in the ripple; like the waves splashing then trickling, washing sand over rocks, then retrieving back.
#Aprilbbs to @ayebbey re: that every person depends on another. and is capable and important to another. like roots growing, waves flowing. we all need each other.
