Really loved this discussion with @anamarialeo & A. Herscher of the Settler Colonial City Project on architecture and settler colonialism…such a good model for moving beyond land acknowledgments towards decolonization.

What 'decolonization' means to @anamarialeon: "The return of land—not just territory, but air, water, plant life, animal life, indigenous life…the regeneration of sustaining and sustainable relations with the land"
On thoughtful typography & how @SCCP1491's installation was criticized as ugly: "It reveals a colonial understanding of beauty…the glittery Tiffany dome, but not the sign with a limited budget, with a deliberate and mindful font that includes indigenous characters."
@anamarialeon: "I don't think decolonizing is a work of undoing or going back, but rather of moving forward, and work that points to a future worth working for…We have to do the work because the alternative is just passivity and more of the same." 
and! Andrew Herscher on entering other spaces: "If there's a decolonizing perspective that we're striving towards, it's that one legitimizes one's entry into the space of another because one is 
welcomed 
into that space, not just because one is interested in that space."
welcomed into that space, not just because one is interested in that space."
