“The desire to know more versus the desire for everything to remain intact, undisturbed and underground. Our natural reflex, of course, is to bury things—we’re like a combination of an ostrich and a magpie. But we archaeologists do the opposite—we dig them up. My teacher used to say archaeology is the art of incremental destruction: You destroy something, documenting the process step-by-step, in order to know what lies beneath. In order to preserve, you must first destroy.”

🪏 In a new story by Gabriela Jauregui (), an archaeologist leaves a Mexico City commune to join a dig in a mysterious tunnel at Teotihuacán, only to be murdered. Afterward, her friends excavate the remains of her life while investigating her death. “Flowers of the Night” is adapted from Jauregui’s forthcoming novel Feral (, 2027), originally published in Spanish by .

What does one do in the face of loss? In a new poem by Tess Brown-Lavoie, the narrator hoards mundane remnants, takes a long drive, lies on the beach, and listens to a song on repeat. To miss someone is to live with an absence that constantly declares its presence across dreams and memories. Brown-Lavoie’s poem follows loss and longing through seasons and cities, the unconscious and the underworld. Time is fractured and striated; encounters in the present resurface memories that slip the narrator into the past.

Toggling between a clear address to a diffuse “you” and a collection of dreams from “several others,” the poem considers the instability of memory and the ways that, through language and images, one can attempt to represent a void.

🌐 On Wednesday, June 10, join Triple Canopy () and Are.na () for presentations and a panel discussion with Becca Abbe (), Ingrid Burrington (), Lai Yi Ohlsen (), and Ruby Justice Thelot ().

For “From Earth to Sky,” Abbe, Burrington, Ohlsen, and Thelot will interrogate the metaphorical language surrounding the internet and investigate what these metaphors reveal about the historical, political, and cultural contexts in which they became popular.

The terminology used to describe the internet often relies on figurative language that ties it to the physical world: Servers live on farms, music and movies arrive via streams, and a lifetime of data floats, allegedly weightless, in the cloud. While these figures of speech suggest a bucolic digital terrain, they often obscure the actual physical infrastructures and material resources that undergird the web, as well as the complex social and economic dynamics that determine how people interact on and access the internet.

From the cloud ☁️ to the dark forest 🌲, the technologists, writers, and artists will explore the symbolic landscapes produced by the internet’s metaphors through four short presentations and a panel discussion.

✨ It was our honor to honor Howardena Pindell on Wednesday night at the 2026 Triple Canopy Benefit. Her work has shaped how we experience abstraction, understand the role (and responsibility) of arts institutions, and remain laser-focused on the concerns of the present. As Sharifa Rhodes-Pitts noted, what we now call institutional critique is, for Howardena, simply a way of being—a practice forged through persistence, clarity, and a singular attunement to the smallest material gestures and the largest social forces.

We also celebrated our 2026 Fellow, New Red Order. We’re proud to call Adam Khalil, Zack Khalil, and Jackson Polys (, , ) our collaborators for the next two years. Stay tuned for more updates on the NRO’s fellowship project as it develops.

Our deepest gratitude to Courtney Willis Blair () and Sharifa for their thoughtful remarks, to Chang Yuchen () for her beautiful edition and stargazing guidance, and to Jim Fletcher () for his “reverse Brando.”

“Most of the holes I see in the ordinary furnishings of my daily life are useful: A hole at the edge of my mug makes a handle, a hole in my shirt holds a button, three holes in my face let breath in and out. My new shower curtain has twelve holes in a row for twelve metal rings, which are almost all hole. None of these things are complete without their gaps.”

For Not Nothing,Dana Lok () worked with Triple Canopy to create an interactive artist project that considers how, in reexamining the visual metaphors that help us hold together our world, we might be able to approach “knowledge in new shapes.” Consisting of a short essay and a “catalogue of holes and holey things,” which features eight newly commissioned drawings, “A Hole for a Hand” attends to the gaps and openings in ordinary objects like coffee mugs, sieves, and fabric. Together, Lok’s writing and images propose that holes are not just things to be filled, but generative forms that facilitate necessary functions.

📽️ For this year’s of Prismatic Ground (), Triple Canopy is copresenting the US premiere of Surrendur (2026), Karthik Pandian’s () debut feature, at Anthology Film Archives () on Saturday, May 2, at 5 p.m.

Taking the toppling of a Christopher Columbus statue in Minnesota as a prompt, Surrendur links oral history and prophecy, documentation and reenactment. Pandian, an artist and longtime Triple Canopy contributor, describes the film as a “mandala for opening the manasu”—Tamil for heart and mind—“to the frequency of love in revolt.”

Surrendur is anchored by Pandian’s intimate conversations with Mike Forcia (Bad River Anishinaabe, ), the American Indian Movement activist who spearheaded the Columbus monument’s removal in the wake of the George Floyd uprisings, and Ta Pe’juta Wičháȟpi Win (Hunkpati Dakota Oyate, ), whose political consciousness was awakened as she and her daughter danced around the fallen statue.
Before the screening, the filmmaker Rhayne Vermette (Métis, ) will read a series of poems. The event will conclude with a Q&A with Pandian, Mike Forcia, and Ta Pe’juta Wičháȟpi Win.
