The Storm is a root for me. Seattle Storm
Seattle Storm gets a redesigned logo: It manages to fold in the Space Needle, Mount Rainier, basketballs, and a lighting bolt. This update is long overdue our WNBA team has not gotten a revamped logo since their debut in 2000. Though I do love the very 2000s feel of the old one, this one is hot. Storm players Sue Bird and Jordin Canada will raise a flag with the new symbol on the Space Needle tomorrow at 2 pm.

A collective of artists and designers will obscure architect Philip Johnson’s name from a gallery dedicated to him at the Museum of Modern Art during the run of the museum’s current exhibition about architecture and the communities of the African diaspora, “Reconstructions: Architecture and Blackness in America.”
Johnson, the famed Modernist architect with well-documented fascist and white supremacist views, will have his name covered by a 10-by-10 foot denim textile conceived by the Black Reconstruction Collective (BRC), a nonprofit group formed by 10 architects and designers in the show.

In order to demonstrate her research, Davis created a quilt to connect with residents of the Hill District in Pittsburgh. Each panel on the quilt reflects a different image of importance in the history of the Hill District, which is a grouping of historically African American neighborhoods in the city. When the copper fabric on the quilt is touched, sensors activate the narration of the panel story which plays through a small speaker that is incorporated at the bottom of the quilt. District residents will be able to add their own panels and stories to the quilt over time. The quilt is part of a duo transmitting/receiving textile installation that will be shown in the MoMA gallery.
