Unbranding the Body Published

Unbranding the Body is now live as a living publication series — beginning with 'Skin Is Not a Billboard.'

Unbranding the Body is now live under Thought Lab.

It’s a series about the stories placed onto bodies by markets, medicine, and productivity culture — and what becomes visible once those stories are removed. It doesn’t optimize bodies. It asks why they were treated as problems to begin with.

The first piece, Skin Is Not a Billboard, looks at how skin became evidence of discipline and worth, and what changes when authority is returned to the body it belongs to. Nine more pieces are planned, and the series page lists what’s coming.
