Christi Belcourt by Christi Belcourt, Sherry Farrell Racette, Dylan Miner, and Nadia Kurd
I saw Christi Belcourt’s work at an exhibition at The Minneapolis Institute of Art and was instantly intrigued. I bought this book which shares not only her artwork but also a deeper dive into her life and work. It’s something I like to read or look at when I’m taking a break from work, to connect with beauty and help me get unstuck.
This book opened my eyes to how deeply biases affect the way we see patterns in the world. Author Jennifer L. Eberhardt looks at the way racism seeps into the way we see patterns in the world. This book has helped to engrain the deep importance of asking the right kinds of questions of ourselves before forming opinions.
This book is like getting a peek into Justina’s brain. She breaks down her design advice in ways that are so digestible. It’s part travel guide too, which I love. Justine sees beauty in the world I often overlook, and it is a joy to lose yourself in this book.
