Flatten the Curve
The Poem on the Cover of Issue 11, "Faux Culture" is an excerpt from a larger video piece by artist Anna Muchin
"No cuts no profits
tax havens nor benefits
just health above all
fair pays and material
flatten that curve of profit
flatten that curve once for all
make US ALL come first
first and above it all"
- Anna Muchin, "Flatten the Curve"
These are unsettling times, is what we keep telling each other on the phone these days, revisiting the stirred up senses of separateness and togetherness. #Corona times give a new flavor to structural inequality, presses harder on each of its sore spots.
Voice as movement. There was a march in my mind when I wrote down these words. A march from home, a march of the mouth and tongue. If we can’t walk the streets in protest, in support, we still have a voice to play with and deploy.
Health should not be a privilege.
Working safely and responsibly should not be a privilege.
Reclaim #health4all and #flattenthecurveofprofit
