If you're just learning about bell hooks, there's no shame. You can always read her words and meet her on the page.

Are some movies like self-fulfilling prophecies? Did they *predict the future* or did they influence decisions that led to the present?

This year I've started assigning something I call "Weekly Encounters" where students get credit for telling me how they "encountered" our course content out in the wild. The goal is to help them appreciate how much history is relevant. Here's some of the best responses:

I love Koichi Sato, Tadanori Yokoo, Mitsuo Katsui, but I also want to acknowledge the beauty of Heikichi Harata’s work and his usage of parataxis. (L) 1980, (R) 1984. Also all the Heaven covers are gorgeous. Also amazing idea write up on him: idea-mag.com/en/idea_magazi…

Beautiful work being created by Hadiya Williams and GD MFA students, using polymer clay to create personal forms, inspired by the lineage of design from Africa to the Bauhaus. Hadiya asks us to think about where design languages come from and what gets valued. @MICA_GD
