a point of anti-departure, Oxford Dictionary’s definition of women’s work as “traditionally and historically undertaken by women, especially tasks of a domestic nature such as cooking, needlework, and child rearing.” Despite the last century of groundbreaking, audacious change and catalysts, the dictionary still has not caught up with the current zeitgeist. Neither a dismissal nor a trivializing of this definition, the exhibition is grounded in the belief that all women’s work, within the realm of the domestic and beyond, is valuable. However, it acknowledges that the definition has rightly evolved, and must continue to do so, across centuries and geographies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57813c62579fb375af58bfc3/1501113381149-P57AG5TTCR7VIMG3WUPM/card.png arts activism Un | Fixed Homeland brings together an intergenerational roster of thirteen emerging and established Guyanese artists who, via photography and photography-based art, examine the complex relationship to "homeland." These artists explore how a "homeland" can be both fixed and unfixed, a constantly shifting idea and memory, and a physical place and a psychic space. The exhibition's title reflects the emergence of the Caribbean diaspora in metropolitan cities around the world and speaks to what has become the defining global movement of the 21st century—migration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57813c62579fb375af58bfc3/6f012a47-f324-4855-a655-536933b49150/The%2BWater%2BIssue.%2BSummer%2B2016%2B%281%29%2Bcopy.png arts activism Women’s Work takes as a point of anti-departure, Oxford Dictionary’s definition of women’s work as “traditionally and historically undertaken by women, especially tasks of a domestic nature such as cooking, needlework, and child rearing.” Despite the last century of groundbreaking, audacious change and catalysts, the dictionary still has not caught up with the current zeitgeist.

Via innovative contemporary art practices, the photographers engage with the premise of “race” as a social construct rooted in myth, while simultaneously interrogating its profound implications and indignities on our 21st-century lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57813c62579fb375af58bfc3/1501113070633-ANJ6RL46AX2K1B58HFTM/image-asset.png arts activism Migration is perhaps the defining movement of our time — for both the ones who leave and the ones who are left. Liminal Space brings together artists of Guyanese heritage, who via photography, painting, sculpture, installation, video, textile and mixed-media, bear witness to what drives one from their homeland as well as what keeps one psychically tethered to it. “Liminal” from the Latin word limens means "threshold”— a place of transition, waiting, and unknowing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57813c62579fb375af58bfc3/e5b8cccb-07f5-4e3f-ac08-97fa03dea348/burqacover.jpeg arts activism Editor While many employ the burqa as fodder for debate, the artists we’ve selected for The Burqa Issue use their creative voice and art practice to examine the complicated experiences of the women who actually wear the burqa—by choice or by force. These multidisciplinary global artists employ the burqa, actual and symbolic, in their photography, documentary film, poetry, graffiti, street art, murals, sculpture and painting, to trouble our perceptions. http://www.celestehamiltondennis.com/welcome daily 0.75 2018-03-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57813c62579fb375af58bfc3/1468090093854-COM9FJ50ZLNGH1U96ITU/image-asset.jpeg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57813c62579fb375af58bfc3/1468089756104-RXE0VTYW9FKOV7U5JZKG/IMG_4153+%281%29.jpg Welcome http://www.celestehamiltondennis.com/contact daily 0.75 2019-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d73dbac2ea51af9150258f/1456953128028-SB3VDC9247LTXYBQ929R/2-1.jpg Get in touch http://www.celestehamiltondennis.com/articles-1 daily 0.75 2016-08-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57813c62579fb375af58bfc3/1470605678667-Q6JGDW2NRRDUB3XAMQVM/code.jpg Articles CodeScouts Helps Female Hackers Avoid 'Locker Room' Mentality good.is https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57813c62579fb375af58bfc3/1468974610262-E0N853XI89MCTV1WG14M/TInaLee.jpeg Articles How MotherCoders is Helping Moms Build Careers in Tech Idealist.org https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57813c62579fb375af58bfc3/1470458781456-UU4LB7VXIJNI01XTPHC6/playground.jpg Articles Epic Playgrounds: How One Dad is Reinventing Where America Plays Huffington Post Impact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57813c62579fb375af58bfc3/1470605006883-TZM22TGHKBSNSXPRW68K/kayhanparents.jpg Articles Documented cIRCA '86: looking to the past to impact future immigration reform ivoh https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57813c62579fb375af58bfc3/1470458832950-VZQ4FIH9VAJCPOR4RKW4/CashMob.jpg Articles How to Host a Cash Mob Shareable https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57813c62579fb375af58bfc3/1470604715495-A5QJ131MUMX5A0UTHBKQ/Kayhanparentscrop-660x325.jpg Articles One Coder's Journey To Use His Skills for Social Good Fast Company http://www.celestehamiltondennis.com/random daily 0.75 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57813c62579fb375af58bfc3/12ecaa5d-33a8-45a0-a839-e43bd3da41e3/BESTNYAD.jpg other creative - Make it stand out Nyad https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57813c62579fb375af58bfc3/5e8cf275-60bd-4ac2-a5b3-307de77ad60a/93874117_10158664539843338_8133471253102067712_n.jpeg other creative - Make it stand out 2020 Getty Museum Challenge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57813c62579fb375af58bfc3/1487102246120-N1KQZAJHFH7W9KYTVNGN/LadyandTrump.jpg other creative Lady and the Trump https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57813c62579fb375af58bfc3/22d00cb0-a7a6-4c6c-a494-7eb01424c3af/RG_Family_Character_BG5.jpg other creative - Make it stand out Righteous Gemstones https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57813c62579fb375af58bfc3/ab82a86c-47e8-428b-ace5-6bfb642545c0/KenandKaren.jpg other creative - Make it stand out Your resident St. Louis racists, Ken and Karen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57813c62579fb375af58bfc3/11870060-fd77-49fd-b4d4-c8d32bfff327/48411826_10157175549283338_8584295261285646336_n.jpeg other creative - Make it stand out “I, Tonya” inspired holiday card https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57813c62579fb375af58bfc3/e15da459-76d4-43a1-836c-7052c9afab66/tedlasso-family-1_highres.jpg other creative - Make it stand out Ted Lasso http://www.celestehamiltondennis.com/new-page daily 0.75 2019-09-07 http://www.celestehamiltondennis.com/about daily 0.75 2017-03-27 http://www.celestehamiltondennis.com/articles-interviews daily 0.75 2019-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57813c62579fb375af58bfc3/1575614687407-MMKH7HIKB1QY3EP0HSB4/image-asset.jpeg Articles & Interviews - Narratively: The Unlikely Style Icon Teaching Older Women to be Fashion Rebels….https://narratively.com/the-unlikely-style-icon-teaching-older-women-to-be-fashion-rebels/ http://www.celestehamiltondennis.com/about-1 daily 0.75 2026-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57813c62579fb375af58bfc3/d2a2e33f-49d0-4a86-a834-18fb745e7bcb/NewHeadshot.jpg about - Chat Mouth Celeste Hamilton Dennis’s eleven-year-old daughter calls her "chat mouth." That’s because she likes to talk, and likes to hear what you have to say. It goes without saying that it’s hard to leave parties. Celeste grew up in Levittown, New York. She studied literature at Boston College and University College Dublin and after graduating, was faced with a choice: become a music journalist, or head to the Peace Corps in Guyana. She chose Guyana. That started a decades-long career in nonprofit communications which took her to New York City, Buenos Aires, and Portland, Oregon. She worked for Idealist.org, where she wrote extensively about changemakers. Solutions journalism was the logical next step. So she schelpped her family to the Bay Area to get her master’s from UC Berkeley journalism, where she studied with some of the best print and audio journalists around. Celeste’s children still don’t forgive her. Now, she actively reports on responses to social issues—often at the intersection of mental health, aging, queer and gender justice issues. Her favorite stories are those that combine the unexpected. Send her a story tip!
