Thank you for highlighting this work. Greg Constantine’s "7 Doors" is a monumental project that I reference often, and @NatalieKeyssar's Cuba update is a poignant reminder of what often gets left out in coverage of conflict.

I appreciate it, Haruka. Greg’s project is new to me. On the other hand, I’ve been following and writing about Natalie’s work for a long time. I agree about what gets left out, and have been especially appalled by the escalating focus on politics, power, and personality in conflict coverage.

My pleasure, Natalie. The work is not only powerful but incredibly timely given how much the blockade and the Cuba strong arming is taking place in the shadow of Iran. I’ve also been appreciating your posts here and how much you use them for meaning and grounding.

I love this Substack. Takes me back to my astonishment reading Ways Of Seeing for the first time in the 1970s.
