My Influencers

Clarence E. Schutt – Princeton University Department of Chemistry

The basis for movement and force generation in muscle and non-muscle cells is the actin-based microfilament system. Actin is a 43 kilo-dalton protein that has been highly conserved since the dawn of the eukaryotes over a billion years ago. Primordial precursor forms of actin and tubulin exist in bacteria, pointing to an even earlier origin for polymerizing proteins as generators of movement. Its emergence at the same time as the eukaryotic cell membrane, replacing the rigid cell walls of prokary...

Millesgården

Welcome to Millesgården Museum - an oasis open all year round, only 20 minutes from Stockholm City! Millesgården was created in the early 20th century by world-renowned Swedish sculptor Carl Milles (1875 ̶1955) as a home, with studios for himself and his wife, artist Olga Milles (1874 ̶1967).

Rhythm Bath — STUDIO SUSAN MARSHALL

The Marginalian

When I was five, not long after the night I sat on my father’s shoulders among the thousands of people on the yellow brick plaza in front of the Bulgarian Parliament singing protest songs to take down the Communist dictatorship, my parents got us a hamster.

Resentful that I had to answer to a name I had not chosen, I r...

The SIM Project: Memories In Motion

A SIM card is many things. An international ID card held within our smartphones, a repository of personal data, and a tool for intimate connection. They have a symbolic meaning too. They provide a bridge to transnational, as well as local networks to give us a portable sense of belonging. 
This project uses the SIM card as a platform to shape new ways of sharing and archiving stories of migration. It is inspired by conversation and craft with refugees and people who are seeki...
