New article: self-expression as a tool to combat oppression

Read FJAR Lab collaborator Mike Harrington's latest article, ”Looking Back on the Zapatista's Revolutionary Fashion”, here. Mike is a PhD Candidate in Public and Urban Policy; and Director of Sustainability Engagement at the Tishman Environment and Design Center at The New School.

In this piece, Mike describes what the Black Panthers and the Zapatistas have taught him regarding self-expression as a powerful tool to combat oppression. As Mike describes, liberation movements like the Zapatistas and the Black Panther Party teach us to unite political, artistic, and cultural ideas in how we dress.
