In Princess Pea’s new collection of works, poetry, craft and the divine femininity coalesce with grace. The anonymous visual and performance artist, recognised by her large anime-inspired headgear, challenges patriarchal norms by examining feminist literature, mythology and traditional artisanship. Her latest collection, Paracosm: Proposals for the Future, is no exception. It draws inspiration from the poetry of Somali British poet Warsan Shire and the silent voices of village women.

Sashya Thind, an Indian designer based in Boston, received a rather interesting brief from her clients—they wanted their home to be a visual manifestation of their time living in Denmark. Now, this was far from a casual whim; instead of wanting a perfunctory thematic rendering of Nordic design, they got down to business with Thind and began discussing some of the finest names in modernism.

A Sidhpur, in India, il quartiere Najampura ha un fascino quasi inquietante, e non sembra abbandonato. In genere, il termine evoca immagini di strutture fatiscenti, invase dalla natura dal muschio e facciate sbiadite e prive di colore. Invece, le havelis (termine generico per indicare una casa cittadina tradizionale in India, Pakistan, Nepal e Bangladesh) di questa città fantasma, da tempo disabitata, hanno un aspetto davvero sorprendente.

Sidhpur’s Najampura district holds an almost eerie intrigue; it stands as a visual contradiction to the word ‘abandoned’, which typically conjures up images of dilapidated, moss-worn structures and washed-out facades drained of colour. However, this ghost town’s long-uninhabited havelis (noble homes) present a striking contrast. To an outsider, all mohallas may look alike. The streetscape gains some relief from varying entrance details and individual crests.

Le quartier de Najampura, à Sidhpur, exerce une étrange fascination ; il semble en contradiction visuelle avec le mot « abandonné ». Ce terme évoque habituellement des structures délabrées, envahies de mousse, aux façades délavées et dépouillées de leurs couleurs. Pourtant, les havelis, ou maisons, de cette ville fantôme, désertées depuis longtemps, offrent un contraste saisissant. Ici, les tons vifs de vert pistache, de rose saumon et de lilas doux dominent le paysage.
