Everlasting Plastics
Edited by Tizziana Baldenebro, Lauren Leving, Joanna Joseph, and Isabelle Kirkham-Lewitt
How can we live without plastics? But, also, how can we live without plastics? These two questions, which index a different set of urgent concerns, haunt Everlasting Plastics. Rather than making a case for or against the material, the writings and artworks collected in this volume attempt to register our ongoing toxic dependencies on plastic, its impact on other material cultures and behaviors, and the harm and possibilities it entangles for our collective futures.
The Archival Exhibition: A Decade of Research at the Arthur Ross Architecture Gallery, 2006–2016
Mark Wasiuta
Architecture has irrevocably been altered by the proliferation and advancement of new media technologies and forms of communication, but architecture, too, is capable of mediating these forms of mediation—their materiality, their transmission, and the motivations they carry. From 2006–2016, the Arthur Ross Architecture Gallery under the directorship of Mark Wasiuta at GSAPP was the center of a sustained research practice experimenting with these intersections. As the title suggests, this book both records the possibilities of the archival exhibition as a mode, method, and problem of architecture, and is itself a record of a decade-long curatorial project that sought to reframe the documents, authors, environments produced by and producing architecture.
Talk:
Insurgent Domesticities Roundtable
5:00PM–6:30PM, March 27, 2025
The Heyman Center, Columbia University
‘Home’ has been used as a boundary-forming device to identify, homogenize, normalize, and exclude. As such, Insurgent Domesticities brings into focus the environments, objects, and practices that make up the maintenance, creation, labor, and intimacies of home. This collective conversation engages the more processual aspects of domesticity to interrogate the politics of ‘home’ through histories of solidarity, disobedience, stealth, and militancy, from the scale of the clothesline to that of the state.

“The best book I’ve read in the past year is Deserts Are Not Empty, edited by Samia Henni. It’s an incredible collection of essays, conversations and poems that challenge the portrayal of deserts as barren, lifeless voids. The book explores the geopolitical implications of this narrative, revealing how colonial and imperial powers have weaponised the notion of emptiness to justify exploitation and control.”
