What do we do when we look around and see that the brokenness is so expansive that there is simply too much that needs fixing?
Renoir’s “Pink and Blue”—an intimate, soft rendering of two young sisters, hand in hand, hanging permanently in the Museum of Art of São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand since 1952–bears no specific trace of the subjects’ background. But Alice and Elisabeth Cahen d’Anvers, the second and third daughters of a prominent banking family with deep French roots, were Jewish.

“It’s obvious, at least to me, that ‘control’ belongs in the hands of the person who is pregnant,” writes Irin Carmon, “but what that means in practice in reproduction is complicated.” As the women in "Unbearable" learn, their own attempts to exert control burn up in the face of our current legal and medical reality. People with the capacity for pregnancy are already being controlled by the state.

Dedicated to every "vild chaya"/wild animal surviving and thriving.
From the latest issue of Lilith, a true-life comic by Miriam Libicki about how "sisters" (Rose Lipszyc and her aunt, Róza Finkielsztajn) survived the Holocaust. "Two Roses: A Story of Deception and Determination in Nazi Germany" (@utpress, 2026), from which the comic is excerpted, tells the true story of how these two courageous women defied the odds to survive.
The book is supported by the @survivorvisualnarratives, which uses relational storytelling to gather genocide and mass atrocity testimonies across five research clusters (Holocaust; former Yugoslavia; Iraq; Rwanda; Syria; and Turtle Island).
The artist-survivor collaborations are built on mutual trust, respect, and a commitment to shared authority. Gently shifting away from a trauma paradigm that engages survivor memory as a site of irreparable psychic wounds, their project creates space for healing, reciprocity, and care.
