I'd like to write through the annotations of fascism and how society acts during that time in a more reflective way than in the annotations.

focus on:
~Media and fascism
~Society and fascism
~Art and fascism


Perhaps a counter-essay about how NOT to live our lives

A pamphlet that would coincide with the work I'm making
silkscreen it on pieces of paper in red
with typography that suggests the early years (20s 30s 40s)

It would be awesome if in the end it would turn out to be this utopian manifest of some kind, mentioning the wrongs that have been made, and giving solutions in a utopian way. slighty hippie maybe. (research hippies)

You know what I would also include in this, some mention of the gay prime years in Berlin and how those images and knowledge of that time got destroyed under Hitler. And where we are with those imaging right now.
