@catebush.bsky.social narrates how her trip to Venice to attend the #BiennaleArte2024 was overshadowed by extreme-rain warnings. She wrestles with how to view art under these conditions and the question of what kind of attention we need to bring to art and the troubled, troubling world around us.
Rain, Carson, Art, Salt: A Venetian Matrix - Springs
The author goes to Venice to attend the Biennale seeking art that engages with Rachel Carson only to encounter extreme-rain warnings.

Please read all of this: an account of her own detention and the stories of other detained women as well.
I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
