TRINETRINE Issue 009Hello and welcome to TRINE 009!The news of Virgil Abloh’s untimely passing yesterday has left me with a feeling of sadness as I step into the last month of 2021.

I have more patience, my relationships with family and friends have grown deeper and I am finding joy in the mundanities of my daily routine. Through slowing...

In the midst of a global pandemic, a climate emergency and with white supremacy continuously trying to tear us down we made it into the second half of 2021. Never forget that have been so many that were not so fortunate, as well as some that lost everything. For this reason July’s meditation (found at the top of the page as per usual) focuses on gratitude. For every obstacle, inconvenience and painful experience that we’ve had to endure the universe has sent us t...

TRINETRINE ISSUE 003Welcome to issue 003 of TRINE!I wanted to begin this issue of TRINE with an open letter asking the cultural and creative industries as a whole to actively begin working to put an end to white supremacy.Over the past year we have seen official statements from museums, cultural institutions, galleries, archives and all who make up the global powerhouse that is the creative industries publicly declaring that Black Lives Matter and more recently committing to Stop Asian Hate. Following last summer’s Black Lives Matter protests there has been a flurry of appointments, job vacancies, op...

TRINETRINE Issue 002Welcome to issue 002 of TRINE!While researching and putting the newsletter together for issue 002 I began thinking about what TRINE stands for.
