The 3-day finale of #yyccc 2017-2021 was lit!!! It’s hard to believe the writers were able to get so many great things resolved. Also, so many cool things have been set up for the next show: 2021-2025 (which will start filming on Oct 18). Here’s my recap of the highlights: 1/24

The finale opened w emotion: 1) #yyc-based members of the #TokyoOlympics/#TokyoParalympics #teamcanada were honored. 2) tributes to the retiring members of #yyccc, @DruhFarrell @EWoolleyWard8 @ChahalGeorge @Ward4Ward1 @CouncillorKeats & @nenshi, induced tears & good vibes. 2/24

Since the Nakba, #Israel has been waging an #Economic war on the Palestinian people; It robs us of our rich natural resources , drowns us in poverty & unemployment, steals our taxes, exploits us as cheap labor & destroys the infrastructures of our local means of production

.
2/4
In response to the #Israeli state violence practiced against the #Palestinian economy, we launched the #PalestineEconomicWeek . The "developed" Israeli economy was built on de-developing our #Economic infrastructure.

In addition to the expulsion of 85% of our Palestinian population, The significance of #Nakba is also represented in the institutionalized confiscation and looting of the vast majority of #Palestinian property.

Ili uweze kuchangamkia fursa zinazotokana na sheria na kanuni za local content kwenye madini ni lazima kwanza ujue kuna nini jikoni. Kwa ufupi madini ni sekta inayokadiriwa kuzungusha Tsh trilioni 4 kwa mwaka kwenye manunuzi. Sasa tambua ni nini kipo ndani.

#localcontent

Fursa zipo za aina mbili
Moja utoe huduma kwenye migodi na sekta ya madini kwa ujumla, yaani huduma kama chakula (catering), ujenzi, Maintenance, huduma za meno na kinywa, bima, data, mawasiliano, usafirishaji, utafiti na kadhalika.

Naambatanisha tangazo hapa kama mfano

Fursa namba 2 kwenye manunuzi ni kuuza bidhaa. Hapa tunazungumzia bidhaa ambazo migodi na wadau wake wanahitaji. Hizi ziko nyingi sana, mfano grinding media, vilainishi, ground support, kemikali, baruti, vyakula kama nyama, matunda, ni vingi sana sana.

“Best #design is something which works with all of your 5 #senses and is invisible.” Pragati Singhal, #textiledesigner For #Feb, VarnikaDesigns #Instagram takeover was by Pragati. She took us on a Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious ride

Pragati asks: “How often ru aware about the movements/changes around, about the smell of the place or how the air tastes?Do u c the pattern formed by stars or how those flowers attract the bees?
When was the last time u actually tasted ur food?

VarnikaDesigns started its first social media colab with Suyash Srivastava, Textile Designer. He was completing his project from Siwan in Bihar, one of India’s most sensational states, and gave us live coverage from there.

His objective when he started the takeover was:”I am looking forward to take the viewers through the lives of #local #people in #Bihar,focusing on their way of living,the types of products they use,things that lead &influence their lives by building a visual experience for them.

Will also be sharing my personal insight that I have observed while living here over the period of time, what misconceptions we have about rural regions &the golds to pick up as inspiration form their lives and implement in ours”

Dangers of the sea: with impending #Monsoons, fishing communities across #India tie up their boats. All along the #Indian #coastline, #boats of different dimensions and #colours, await the #dark #clouds to wreck havoc on their #home - the #sea

The #rainyseason recharges #water & #human bodies, but the #fishingcommunities have no #income.They would have had to save enough to tide them through. They spend this time with their families,repairing boats,fishing nets& specialise in #hunting small #crustacean close to #shore

No #freshcatch is served in #restaurants on #coastline but no one’s complaining as we care for our fishing communities&this is rare opportunity for expressing that concern.in #Monsoon we stand together,waiting quietly for the storms,the rains - nature’s fury& #beauty

Hi, I’m Chitku 🙂 we’ve met before. This is my brother Kaachbo. We have been brought into this world by Priyanka Tolia😎

Around 2003, while working in Mumbai, many of her colleagues from varied Himalayan states of India, discussed frequently and naively on the needs of design interventions to create livelihood opportunities so as to push mountain industries that otherwise face isolation.

They dreamt of opening #design studios from where they could work, expand on #Indian #Designscape – bringing forth the unique #mountain #lifestyles #philosophies on #materials & #form. Today, Chitku Design Studio is a result of such dreams varnikadesigns.wordpress.com/2019/06/25/mee…

These #photos try to capture beauty of #architecture of the old city.Majestic once but presently dilapidated, they have a lot of stories within them.Exploring these late 19th-early 20th century #havelis or mansions with #designstudents imagining lives of people who lived in them.
