I joined altMFA this year, only a few months ago, but have been attending as regularly as possible within childcare constraints. My first meeting was a small one where I met two members who were moving imminently to other countries: […]
A guide on how to apply good design to your website.
Today is my Friday. Last day of five in, five days of breathing air conditioned dry air, making my nose even stuffier. Tomorrow I will be able to breathe again. As I was feeling so sorry for myself in my […]

Sovay Berriman’s latest, self-funded project will take her to Mongolia and Australia searching for ‘markers and boundaries of experience’ in desert landscapes, and researching the correlation between those landscapes and the narratives of the people that inhabit them.
