Sex this month, across 70+ chapters around the world. The theme was chosen by our organizer Kyle Baptista and the Toronto team.
As part of this month’s theme, we recently discovered Green Porno, a Sundance TV series by Isabella Rossellini. Isabella acts out the reproductive habits of marine animals and insects, both scientifically accurate yet extremely entertaining. We recommend you check it out. →
Speaking at our Baltimore chapter on December’s theme of Make, Ellen Lupton speaks on ‘Busytown USA’ or the history of the profession of graphic design and the myriad of forms it can take. Ellen talks about our tools and how they’ve shaped what we make, drawing upon her current show, Graphic Design: Now in Production. Check it out. →
Ellen is a writer, curator, and graphic designer. She is director of the Graphic Design MFA program at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore, where she also serves as director of the Center for Design Thinking.
“Making art is the clearest way in which I’m able to love myself.”

We are infatuated with these hand-crafted frames made from reclaimed Douglas Fir out of Detroit. In particular, the detailing of the rough-sawn edge adds a lovely touch. The frames are born out of a partnership with Urban Ashes, an organization purposefully deconstructing abandoned homes in Detroit. In using a transitional labor force, these valuable and rare materials are diverted from the landfill to create beautiful one-of-a-kind frames.
Co-founder Fabian Pfortmüller was one of the first speakers at our Zürich chapter, where he spoke about design with a conscience. Watch his talk.
