Paprika

Paprika! is a window into emerging discourse from Yale School of Architecture and Yale School of Art.

Every issue is student-curated and aims to broadcast diverse voices in the fields of art, architecture and design.

On a day like this, when it feels like yet another crisis has unfolded, we’re launching How to Have a Good Crisis: A Manual, a special issue of Paprika! that reimagines what crises can mean. This issue explores how moments of chaos can lead to growth, creative breakthroughs, and maybe even a bit of fun.

Event: 6 on 7
🗓️ Date: November 8th
📍 Location: Rudolph Hall, Architecture School 7th floor,
⏰ Time: 6:00 PM

Join us on 6 on 7! Check out the poster and come for an evening of stories, art, and new takes on how to face crises head-on.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙞𝙩𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨?

𝘉𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘣 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘯. Just as an enduring love is constructed day in and day out through a constant process of negotiation, attention, and effort, so too is a building made and remade day by day, year by year, by acts that we call 𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚—washing, vacuuming, repainting, repairing, updating, replacing, weeding, watering, guarding, sorting, trash removing. Taken together, these acts constitute a co-authorship of space in the form of care. These are the rituals through which we become committed to kin and community.

For this issue, the spatial practice of note is less architecture as we often know it than it is a 𝙠𝙚𝙚𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙛 (𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙤𝙣) 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙨. Beyond the commitment required of an architect to see a project to its “completion,” what kind of commitment does it take to be its groundskeeper? Can we think of architecture not as the production of individual building objects, but as participation in the maintenance of collective socio-ecological processes? How might such a shift in thinking register in our working methods? What forms of care and collectivity are overlooked but necessary to sustain the challenge of a life in the arts?

We invite our contributors to submit proposals for essays that consider the mundane things that gather significance by their repetition and duration.

𝗦𝘂𝗯𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀
Send submission abstracts by Friday, October 18th to [email protected]

In addition to full essays, we are also accepting short form contributions:

𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘓𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘴

Think of a place you love and are committed to. A place that belongs to you, as you belong to it. Write a poem to that place. Any format, any language. Max 50 words.

𝘙𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘔𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘏𝘰𝘵𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦

Submit a question for relationship (romantic or otherwise) advice! We’ll select a few to be answered with the help of YSOA counselor Krista Dobson and the collective knowledge of Paprika!’s editorial staff.

𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆! ~ 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟲𝘁𝗵, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 @𝟳𝗣𝗠

In 2014, Paprika! published its very first issue. Over the last 10 years, we published 144 more, and 8 dispatches and a yearbook. Each issue had a different designer, and a different set of editors, pulling together a different team of writers, artists, and other contributors. Over the last ten years those teams included at least 1,140 (that is right, we counted!) artists, designers, editors, writers, and of course architects. Many of them are now out in the world, at least some of them are in New York, so we are seeing if we can gather a few—and our readers, and their friends—for a proper party to ring in a second decade of Paprika!

We mail subscribers a copy of every single new issue, and those subscribers help build a secure financial base for the publication, enabling students to freely experiment and collaborate without worrying too much about whether they will be able to pay the printer. Paprika! a 501c3 completely independent of the school, and that independence is safeguarded by our subscribers, donors, and grants.

Crises—they‘re messy, stressful, and often unpredictable. But what if they didn’t have to be all bad? In this special issue of Paprika!, we‘re flipping the script on crises. We want to explore the idea that crises, whether personal, professional, or global, can be more than just disasters waiting to happen. They can be moments of growth, creativity, and even a bit of fun (yes, really). This issue will be a collaborative collection of stories, lessons, and creative expressions that celebrate the crisis, the clarity it brings, and the catharsis it sometimes bestows.
