During the fire, pregnant women and women of childbearing age were warned not to go outside due to risks of dioxin contamination. The Inuktitut syllabics written on her hand read ‘Taima’ or ‘enough’, referring to decades of government underfunding that contributed to this and many other dump fires. The image is an example of refusal, as the image refuses to depict Inuit as passive victims of slow violence, instead redirecting attention towards government institutions. The image was distributed to media outlets and became the Facebook profile photo of a local ‘Stop the Dump Fires’ protest group.

On 19 September 2010, the US government declared the well 'effectively dead'. Oil directly affected coastal areas in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Texas. People dependent on fishing and tourism have been severely affected, along with those in other industries, including some farther from the Gulf Coast. Concerns have also been raised in relation to health hazards for clean-up workers and coastal residents, including harms allegedly caused by chemicals used to disperse the oil (made by Nalco)."https://discardstudies.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/screen-shot-2014-07-13-at-8-41-10-am.pngScreen Shot 2014-07-13 at 8.41.10 AMOne of the cases: "San Joaquin Valley is one of the most productive agricultural regions in the United States. The estimated annual gross value of of agriculture in the Valley is more than $25 billion [1] For many years the region has dealt with water shortages and ground water contamination from pesticides, arsenic, and nitrate as a result of intensive agricultural production. The region is home to a large Latino population and studies have found a correlation between ethnicity and access to safe drinking water [2]. The San Joaquin Valley also has some of the highest poverty rates in the state of California. Local communities have protested the unequal water access and the story has gained increasing media attention. It is likely to draw more activists and organizations to the cause as severe droughts are predicted in the area for 2014."https://discardstudies.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/screen-shot-2014-07-13-at-8-42-33-am.pngScreen Shot 2014-07-13 at 8.42.33 AM"The map shows some of the most representative environmental justice conflicts in the United States. In an effort to choose landmark cases we elicited feedback from more than 200 environmental justice leaders, activists, and scholars in identifying these case studies. These cases represent a range of time periods, geographic regions, communities, and environmental challenges. However, they are only a very small subset of the many influential case studies that have contributed to the U.S. environmental justice movement past and present." 2015-01-20T10:54:07+00:00monthlyhttps://discardstudies.com/2014/10/29/special-issue-on-international-and-european-chemicals-regulation-following-the-minamata-convention/https://discardstudies.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/minimatasignatoriesedit-03.pngMinimataSignatoriesEdit-03https://discardstudies.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/4enlarge_201310101.jpg4enlarge_20131010https://discardstudies.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/4enlarge_20131010.jpg4enlarge_201310102014-12-03T20:54:05+00:00monthlyhttps://discardstudies.com/2014/11/21/students-create-concept-models-for-giant-mine-markers-communicating-contamination-in-perpetuity/https://discardstudies.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/3610-087.jpgGiant MineThis team felt it was important to secure the perimeter of the site. https://discardstudies.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/3610-074.jpgGiant MineThis concept included both an educational function and the securing of the mine site. https://discardstudies.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/3610-076.jpg3610-076“Project Dystopia” created a symbolic landscape of life (outside the area) and death (inside the perimeter) to communicate hazards. https://discardstudies.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/3610-085.jpgGiant Mine“The Information Tomb”: an underground system of information and warnings. https://discardstudies.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/3610-072.jpgCheckmate“Checkmate”: designed as symbolic information system.https://discardstudies.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/3610-082.jpgGiant MineThis diorama features a two-level messaging system while also acting as a figurative map. 2014-11-21T10:41:57+00:00monthlyhttps://discardstudies.com/2014/11/19/a-methodology-for-investigating-cityness-through-waste/https://discardstudies.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/9357396304_4b46fced34_z.jpg9357396304_4b46fced34_zPostcard: Trail, BC, 1955.

The Mayor added that the placement of the High Water Mark sign at England Park is a way of providing continued education about flood risks so citizens can be better prepared to protect themselves and their property. Scott Potter and Commander DeLapp then joined the Mayor to unveil the city’s first sign."

"No matter how much you fight against it, dust pervades everything. It gathers in even layers, adapting to the contours of things and marking the passage of time. In itself, it is also a gathering place, a random community of what has been and what is yet to be, a catalog of traces and a set of promises: dead skin cells and plant pollen, hair and paper fibers, not to mention dust mites who make it their home. And so, dust blurs the boundaries between the living and the dead, plant and animal matter, the inside and the outside, you and the world (“for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return”). This book treats one of the most mundane and familiar phenomena, showing how it can provide a key to thinking about existence, community, and justice today."https://discardstudies.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/3877859363_b6bff8ec46_b.jpg3877859363_b6bff8ec46_bFrom Jussi Parikka's "The Geology of Media."2013-10-14T09:53:26+00:00monthlyhttps://discardstudies.com/2013/10/13/a-history-of-new-york-citys-solid-waste-management-in-photographs/https://discardstudies.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/screen-shot-2013-08-31-at-6-56-09-am.pngScreen Shot 2013-08-31 at 6.56.09 AMParade of "White Wings", 7/8/14 (LOC).

"This small pottery amulet has an image in relief of Somdej, a Buddhist monk and son to King Rama II, meditating on a coiled snake, and was found in a temple in Siam (Modern Thailand) in the first part of the 19th century. These are typically found snugly fitted into tiny metal frames, allowing the amulet to be worn by a worshiper. In this case, the metal frame broke off and the owner or a tinker came up with a fast and economical remedy by encasing the amulet in what looks like small scale chicken wire." https://discardstudies.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/japanesemendedvase.jpgJapanese+mended+vasehttps://discardstudies.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/img_19732.jpgIMG_19732Milk glass hen pin cushion, c.1890.

The cardboard aesthetic of Occupy is based on the democratic accessibility to the material, as well as an ode to the power of everyday people and materials. In this case, the cardboard is also a testament to the undervalued nature of the 477 property, and the desire to have a cheap, everyday cardboard object--a people's object--represented in an elite institution on Wall Street.

What happened next remains unclear. It is thought possibly that the mural's poor condition--noted by Sert when it was packed-- lead the Ministry to destroy it upon its arrival in Spain. Sert himself believed that the mural most probably fell victim to an assault on the train… However, he also suggested, in a 1978 interview, that the mural might have been lost when stored int eh Spanish embassy in Paris. Whatever the case, one of Miro's most important paintings is now known through only a few black and white photographs. From "A Rival To Gurnica? Image: Joan Miro, The Reaper, 1937.

The Hooverville Torqued Ellipse is meticulously crafted from recycled materials and was built in RAIR’s studio space. The piece is on display at the Marginal Utility Gallery at the Institute for Contemporary Art in Philadelphia from July 18 – August 12, 2012. After the exhibit closes, the project will be put back in the waste stream and recycled at Revolution Recovery.https://discardstudies.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/2979f72e42f04f234780bbd2a6bd24e9_large.jpg2979f72e42f04f234780bbd2a6bd24e9_largeThe Taxonomy of Trash was a collaborative effort led by artist Tim Eads where the team sourced, analyzed and categorized objects from RAIR's waste stream. https://discardstudies.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/e6595b79b4619350cfb9e7a52079a97a_large.jpge6595b79b4619350cfb9e7a52079a97a_largeSanborn Maps are insurance maps that show a very detailed and layered history of cities.

The 5,000 members of the black farming community of Mgwali were to have been forcibly removed and resettled here after their land was declared a "black spot" by the apartheid government in 1983. However, the people of Mgwali resisted strongly and in 1986 the removal scheme was dropped. The lavatories were gradually stripped of their usable building materials by people in the area and all that is left now are concrete bases over some 1500 anatomically shaped holes in the veld. 22 February 2006.
