Emilio Teubal is a New York-based Argentinian composer. His latest album for solo piano brings consciousness to the fears of climate change, our lack of political will, and the condition of the world our children will inherit. Analog applications of paint, water, ink, and chemicals create layers to imitate the natural forms in our watershed. This piece is our third and most complete collaboration, which includes album artwork, video, and a self-published book of sheet music.

During his years teaching in Chicago public schools, Doug Pietrzak wrote a series of poems to capture the beauty of possibilities from a student’s perspective.

The International Documentary Association (IDA) connects audiences with the best of the form while defending the rights and freedoms of documentary artists, activists, and journalists around the globe.

Promotional poster for Lost Title Studio, inspired by my love for graffiti, signs, old buildings, and rides through the neighborhood on a vintage P200. I’ve been drawing and printing posters since high school, so this piece became a way to get back to my roots and produce something more personal.
