#BURSTTHEBUBBLE

DEPROGRAMMING POSTMODERNISM (AND WHY WE USE POP CULTURE)

This is a crisis of code, CULTURE, and Constitutional law.

We are living through the long-predicted 'worst case scenario' collision between unregulated technology, postmodern political culture (what one team calls MAGA and the other calls WOKE), and un-updated Constitutional cases and civic principles.

If your solution doesn't deal with encoded postmodernism -- for everyone, without destroying the fabric of reality as an oopsie -- it isn't a solution.

IDH Victories

ZINE EXCHANGES

The IDH uses zines whenever it can because of its accessibility; This "genre" of communication -- by nature -- is malleable, open-ended, and variable, much like a person or group's medical experience. With this zine collection, the IDH focused on unseen struggles and how it might influence a person's ability to communicate their story.
