Figure 1. War Deaths, Traumas, and Other Misc. Injuries (two versions)


war injured graphic thumbnail

type: diagram
project number: 110614-01, 110614-02
format: digital image

summary: The image that most often comes to mind when someone says "casualty of war" is usually that of a soldier shot by another soldier from an opposing army. In reality, over the past half-century or so, victims of wars and other violent conflicts have become increasingly civilian (and often disproportionately women and children). We present here two different versions of our diagram for your consideration - one visually explicit, one not - for a variety of learning situations and audiences.

Warning: This image contains images that may disturb some viewers.

 

Buttons: We Remember

type: ongoing button series

summary: We made these buttons for our friends La Lleca, who work with prisoners in Mexico City. (Our friend Teacup delivered them for us when she went to visit recently.) Each button has a tiny picture of Pinky with her giant flag and a place/date that we burn into our memory.

 

TV News: SO I HERD U LIEK... (new version)


bunny doing the tv news thumbnail

type: image macro

summary: This is Bunny in a spiffy suit (ugly tie though) making believe she works at Fox News. If you are not into this sort of thing perhaps you will prefer the old version?

 

TV News: SO I HERD U LIEK... (old version)


tv news old thumbnail

type: image macro

summary: Here we have a picture of a very serious-looking Bunny wearing a replica of one of Walter Cronkite's suits and it looks like she "borrowed" Edward R. Murrow's favorite microphone too. If you are not impressed perhaps you will like the new version better?

 

I Want to Punch Your Face: a picture book by Pinky & Bunny v2.0




type: book
format: PDF file

summary: Bunny wants to punch Pinky in the face. What will happen next?

 

Buttons: Favorite Weapons series




type: buttons

summary: When U.S. Americans think of genocide and Native peoples (if ever) they usually just think of guns. But there were and are many other favored weapons - here are just three more.

 

Buttons: For settlers




type: buttons

summary: We made these buttons for settlers to wear. Just another tiny way for people to keep bringing up settler colonialism as an important thing to talk about.

 

Future Museum Report: Some notes on our time-travel expeditions, 2028-2098


future museum report

type: mini-report
project number: 100725-01
format: PDF file

summary: Q: Why are Pinky & friends so interested in the future of museums that they'd be willing to risk their lives to time-travel? A: Two reasons! 1) Because institutions reflect and reproduce the dominant values and narratives of its host society; AND 2) Because, among the institutions in society that most powerfully shape our understanding of past, present, & future, museums (in comparison to schools, corporate media, etc.) enjoy the least critical examination from the general public. That's why!

type: poster

summary: From the mildly unpleasant dead Pinky story, Pinky Gets Stuffed: or, an illustration of how everything in a museum is something like a corpse, in Appendix A of Kim's mini report, The Creation of Value: meditations on the logic of museums and other coercive institutions. (See video: We Love Museums... Do Museums Love Us Back?)

"Abolish Nuclear Weapons" & Pinky's self-portrait


abolish nuclear weapons

type: poster & tshirts

summary: About Pinky's self-portrait: her final split-second of consciousness as she beholds the nuclear explosion that will soon obliterate her forever. Don't let this happen - save Pinky! Save the whole world! Demand the abolition of nuclear weapons! We need constant reminders that nuclear weapons are not going to magically disappear by themselves.

 

Print-it-Yourself Christmas Card




summary: Bunny and I were looking at greeting cards at the drug store the other day and, to put it mildly, we were both shocked at how expensive they are. I mean, they're only a folded piece of paper and a matching envelope but some of these things cost like $3 or $5 each! Amazing!
