A beatiful piece by Shannon Mattern that matters now more than ever:
"...breakdown is our epistemic and experiential reality. What we really need to study is how the world gets put back together." (2018)

"An Unfinished Atlas"
Contributing authors to this new essay series have each chosen 1 location — intimately known or not; famous or minor; historical or contemporary — that will, through their research and recollection, be added to the national typology of place & community...
The first round of the series, which is being supported by @MellonFdn, will comprise two dozen essays by scholars, critics, essayists, and novelists of color across what's now called North America. The first 4 are by @elapostrophe, @lesbrains, @DavidTreuer and @inlandemperor...
...and they are all fantastic.

Consortium director @inlandemperor has contributed to @PlacesJournal’s #UnfinishedAtlas, focusing on Won Kok Restaurant in L.A.’s Chinatown
"There’s something special about a place that becomes a hub for your community w/o being designed that way, coalescing through a slight rhyme of its flavors and textures with your own."

I know it’s been non-stop baseball on my feed, but it’s all linked to my love of Los Angeles, which I write about w/ some frequency. Here’s a new long form piece in @PlacesJournal on the hidden history one of my favorite restaurants in L.A., Won Kok placesjournal.org/article/so…
Acclaimed author David Treuer writes about growing up on Leech Lake Reservation, and why the nearby town of Bemidji, Minnesota, a "border town," is so hard to love.
His latest in Places, for "An Unfinished Atlas."
"Border/Town"
Surrounded by three sovereign nations, Bemidji, Minnesota, is a border town. Every place was, at one time or another, or is still, a border town. It depends on who you are and where you’re standing.
