in Northampton, Massachusetts and were established in January of 2021 ✿&nbsp; &nbsp; ✿&nbsp; &nbsp; ✿ We choose to not be defined by a set of criteria or aesthetic choices when it comes to the types of publications and projects we produce. There are no limits to the people we want to work with and the projects we want to be a part of. Mundus is about working with artists, non-artists, writers, and those who do not give themselves a title for what they do. Mundus strives to garner an inclusive and collaborative community that publishes equitable and affordable publications and objects. Mundus event productions intend to do the same, by providing welcoming show spaces. &nbsp; Almost every release will give back to a non-profit organization that fits with the themes and concepts of the project.&nbsp; We are excited about future collaborations. Mundus is open to ideas ~_~&nbsp;let’s talk soon. &nbsp; xo Emma and Charlotte ✿&nbsp; &nbsp; ✿ &nbsp; ✿ Our LVL3 Interview here &lt; go back home https://munduspress.world/mundusmail Thu, 11 Mar 2021 19:51:05 +0000 Mundus Press https://munduspress.world/mundusmail <img width="128" height="181" width_o="128" height_o="181" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/07e52cecc56609f510b2e41d274d9e98309af9404d3dc44dddcba75adeb92da6/munduspress_squincher_flier.png" data-mid="115419514" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/128/i/07e52cecc56609f510b2e41d274d9e98309af9404d3dc44dddcba75adeb92da6/munduspress_squincher_flier.png" /> mundusmail If you would like to get in touch with us directly, email us at munduspress@gmail.com.

The hike can involve uneven or rocky terrain. Parking &amp; Transportation:&nbsp; Since this event takes place in a state park, there is a parking fee but ONLY at the top of the summit. For in-state Massachusetts license plates it is $5 dollars to park and for out-of-state plates it is $20. The parking at the bottom of the summit is&nbsp;FREE but limited!! Accessibility Considerations:&nbsp; The hike may not be suitable for all levels of mobility.&nbsp; Visitors who want to skip the hike can drive directly up to the summit and park a vehicle up there. The historic Summit House has a wheelchair accessible ramp and one can enjoy 360 degree views of the local valley. Visitors who may have additional questions regarding accessibility concerns can contact me directly by emailing Charlotte at&nbsp; munduspress@gmail.com.Weather Prepardness The show will take place outdoors and on a mountain, so it’s important to dress in layers and be prepared for variable weather. A light jacket or windbreaker could come in handy, especially on the summit where winds can be cooler. Check the forecast beforehand! Bathroom and Drinking Water There are public bathrooms and a water fountain at the Summit House for your use. Picnic Tables and Open Grills at the top There are a bunch of picnic tables and public grills for your pleasure! <img width="742" height="2103" width_o="742" height_o="2103" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9b460a81639aaf57b3232e4cdf5474ba5db0311313e05d5467166d905a98eef6/summit-drawing.png" data-mid="237301568" border="0" data-scale="85" data-marker-id="2" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/742/i/9b460a81639aaf57b3232e4cdf5474ba5db0311313e05d5467166d905a98eef6/summit-drawing.png" /> https://munduspress.world/as-the-ox-plows Fri, 04 Feb 2022 18:55:43 +0000 Mundus Press https://munduspress.world/as-the-ox-plows 2.14.22 <img width="1269" height="1068" width_o="1269" height_o="1068" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c4bb8fe7f325009167f7a4ec38afda33491ad33a3416b26087e767f568f74416/1_Mundus.png" data-mid="132718912" border="0" data-scale="88" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c4bb8fe7f325009167f7a4ec38afda33491ad33a3416b26087e767f568f74416/1_Mundus.png" /> a poster-zine by 24* artists <img width="720" height="404" width_o="720" height_o="404" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1767b82e7d0436729e287884267cce719511fcd0a42c8c57646b1eff9d4ae81d/WX1.gif" data-mid="134918562" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/720/i/1767b82e7d0436729e287884267cce719511fcd0a42c8c57646b1eff9d4ae81d/WX1.gif" />“as strong as an ox”“As the Ox Plows“ is a poster zine that utilizes the Boustrophedon method: an ancient technique found in both farming and literacy.&nbsp; <img width="3024" height="3024" width_o="3024" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a673f4351d37f892fc9d458064007d559c7a17e06ca01f0a9ee4545f37efe3b7/IMG_4576.png" data-mid="146513807" border="0" data-scale="83" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a673f4351d37f892fc9d458064007d559c7a17e06ca01f0a9ee4545f37efe3b7/IMG_4576.png" /> &nbsp;This project&nbsp;includes 24 artists and 1 artist duo including:&nbsp; &nbsp;ASMA (Matias Armendaris &amp; Hanya Beliá) Annabell P.

I like this connotation of Bostrophedon: as an ox turns fields, the results give sustenance and new life to what takes root in the soil. It’s a nice sentiment running in tangemt to this project.&nbsp; Boustrophedon also refers to a type of ancient reading and writing technology. Which is mostly found in stone-carved manuscripts today. <img width="400" height="265" width_o="400" height_o="265" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cbdbcb715527b26d6940665f37b5dfacbae489fa0878ddf39c5e8c1f8944feb3/400px-Gortys_law_inscription.png" data-mid="134925055" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/400/i/cbdbcb715527b26d6940665f37b5dfacbae489fa0878ddf39c5e8c1f8944feb3/400px-Gortys_law_inscription.png" /> Similar to an ox-plowed field, when using this method in reading and writing, the text starts from left-to-right and then is followed-up with a line that goes from right-to-left.

Early advanced civilizations were more ambidextrous than today’s soceities because of their adapted lifestyles, which catered well to this method of reading and writing. <img width="707" height="447" width_o="707" height_o="447" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cdc582ff1d3c6ce56d3edffa52b4c4929a5337ee6b286d628f3c73ec774c2bec/The-results-of-improved-boustrophedon-path-planning-algorithm-combined-with-BFS-search.png" data-mid="134980907" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/707/i/cdc582ff1d3c6ce56d3edffa52b4c4929a5337ee6b286d628f3c73ec774c2bec/The-results-of-improved-boustrophedon-path-planning-algorithm-combined-with-BFS-search.png" /> Some could argue that the Boustrophedon technique may in fact be more efficent that the standards of today, because reading and writing didn’t have to start from one side of the margin line -- it could start from both. In 403 B.C Athens standardized its alphabet to read from left-to-right. Each town in Ancient Greece had its own writing system and at times, its own alphabet. Boustrophedon fizzled out during the Hellenistic period. &nbsp; Boustrophedon Mesoamerican writing systems &nbsp; <img width="623" height="552" width_o="623" height_o="552" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2fa84a2fe73eb75b936dbc83358100911e351cb532fbc79e47f43ce5f3468639/Boustrophedon-reading-orders-in-Western-Mesoamerican-writing-systems-a-South-section.png" data-mid="134980884" border="0" data-scale="71" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/623/i/2fa84a2fe73eb75b936dbc83358100911e351cb532fbc79e47f43ce5f3468639/Boustrophedon-reading-orders-in-Western-Mesoamerican-writing-systems-a-South-section.png" />Boustrophedon reading orders in Western Mesoamerican writing systems.

It describes the forbidden romance between Zhinü, “the weaver girl” (Godess of weaving, who represented the Vega star constellation) and Niulang (“the Cowherd” and Altair star) in Heaven. The love between them (which took place in the sky) was not allowed because in the Heavens of the Chinese mythological world, stars were not allowed to fall in love. With the help of Cowherd’s ox friend, he was able to reconnect with the Weaver Girl. Sadly, they were forever banished to the opposite sides of the Heavenly River (also known as the Milky Way) by the Goddess of Heaven. But on July 7th of every year, Magpie birds create a bridge in the sky that reunites the two lovers and their two children. July 7th in China is Valentine’s Day, also known as the Qixi Festival.

This means the soil will become more compact, and destroy its ability for water absorbtion. Due to the soil’s lack of water retention, the amount of times a farmer has to water a field is increased. Which raises the chances of flooding during heavy rains. This also creates a reliance on harmful chemical inputs like herbicides, insecticides and fungicides.&nbsp; <img width="1379" height="1056" width_o="1379" height_o="1056" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/682dc3010a731de6fe6e5d9b3e00d7477ea5d966e8721e3db49aaf172898c587/1_aDsohpPz1k-7HGzaoovYRQ.png" data-mid="134919293" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/682dc3010a731de6fe6e5d9b3e00d7477ea5d966e8721e3db49aaf172898c587/1_aDsohpPz1k-7HGzaoovYRQ.png" /> Image source: USDA Soil relies on a biodiverse array of naturally occurring organisms like bacteria, worms, and fungi, to sustain a thriving microbiome.

It involves more work but greatly reduces erosion and runoff.Fairfield Farm, Williamstown, Mass. | No-till and Soil Health This practice creates better absorption of rainwater and efficiency of irrigation during hot weather. With global warming being our reality, this method uses less water and supports heathly soil micoorganisms. It does not destroy soil layers that are integral to growth and vital for nutrience. <img width="1324" height="1048" width_o="1324" height_o="1048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/218930df1599f43691ea14d5f36157c39512e9abccd6269e7799ddb36c918b22/Screen-Shot-2022-02-28-at-3.52.56-PM-copy.png" data-mid="134922133" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/218930df1599f43691ea14d5f36157c39512e9abccd6269e7799ddb36c918b22/Screen-Shot-2022-02-28-at-3.52.56-PM-copy.png" />Image source: USDA &nbsp; <img width="48" height="48" width_o="48" height_o="48" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/77e5491f667e9733b7928e080d2eca0b86b47af416aacac5d5697bb91c0b2e90/Tree.png" data-mid="135110569" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/48/i/77e5491f667e9733b7928e080d2eca0b86b47af416aacac5d5697bb91c0b2e90/Tree.png" /> Both Ukraine and Syria are/were “bread baskets” of their respective regions and are both traumatically affected by big regime aggression and war. Ukraine has over 25 percent of the world’s chernozem (a Russian word for “black earth”) which means it has a high percentage of phosphoric acids, phosphorus, and ammonia that make it very fertile for agricultural yields. 54 percent of&nbsp; Ukraine land is arable (suitable for growing an abundance of crops).&nbsp;The Syrian government had ‘strategic reserves’ of wheat, around 3.5 million tons, which was enough to sustain the entire country for one year. Prior to the uprisings in 2011, Syria was considered one of the leading exporters of cereals, fruits and vegetables to nearby countries and the Gulf. Conflict and climate change continue to put so many country’s agricultural future in grave risk. &nbsp; THE END - THANK YOU FOR READING THIS AND THANK YOU TO ALL THE WONDERFUL ARTISTS FOR PARTICIPATING. https://munduspress.world/Valentine-s-Mix-2022 Mon, 07 Feb 2022 12:02:21 +0000 Mundus Press https://munduspress.world/Valentine-s-Mix-2022 <img width="310" height="293" width_o="310" height_o="293" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a4e523dbbce116bd2ee393f4f949e4edb71f018cb51fa03d5d6d7631aac02262/f8e5aa46f9f9bbd4da9dc4871ab85402.gif" data-mid="132699327" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/310/i/a4e523dbbce116bd2ee393f4f949e4edb71f018cb51fa03d5d6d7631aac02262/f8e5aa46f9f9bbd4da9dc4871ab85402.gif" /> <img width="300" height="212" width_o="300" height_o="212" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9797382aed9c5748cf3d2809724237041e6178a1506a8ff971339e56266f5a15/valentines-day-icegif-23.gif" data-mid="132699324" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/300/i/9797382aed9c5748cf3d2809724237041e6178a1506a8ff971339e56266f5a15/valentines-day-icegif-23.gif" /> &nbsp;Valentine’s Mix 2022&nbsp;&nbsp;follow your heart&nbsp;<img width="1012" height="1011" width_o="1012" height_o="1011" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5da05a172c947cc8bf0ff6d176948758ec4a26432af46d3fcaf964b845d06b22/Screen-Shot-2022-02-06-at-12.05.46-PM-copy-copy.png" data-mid="132701032" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5da05a172c947cc8bf0ff6d176948758ec4a26432af46d3fcaf964b845d06b22/Screen-Shot-2022-02-06-at-12.05.46-PM-copy-copy.png" /> <img width="300" height="212" width_o="300" height_o="212" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9797382aed9c5748cf3d2809724237041e6178a1506a8ff971339e56266f5a15/valentines-day-icegif-23.gif" data-mid="132699324" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/300/i/9797382aed9c5748cf3d2809724237041e6178a1506a8ff971339e56266f5a15/valentines-day-icegif-23.gif" /> <img width="300" height="212" width_o="300" height_o="212" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9797382aed9c5748cf3d2809724237041e6178a1506a8ff971339e56266f5a15/valentines-day-icegif-23.gif" data-mid="132699324" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/300/i/9797382aed9c5748cf3d2809724237041e6178a1506a8ff971339e56266f5a15/valentines-day-icegif-23.gif" /> &nbsp;CLICK HERE&nbsp;TO LISTEN &lt;3&nbsp;The Lost Genius of Judee Sill 2014 BBC Radio Documentary *click* <img width="300" height="212" width_o="300" height_o="212" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9797382aed9c5748cf3d2809724237041e6178a1506a8ff971339e56266f5a15/valentines-day-icegif-23.gif" data-mid="132699324" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/300/i/9797382aed9c5748cf3d2809724237041e6178a1506a8ff971339e56266f5a15/valentines-day-icegif-23.gif" />
