The third round of Fountain Featured has ended, and I’m proud to announce that my article, The Cultural Hackathon, has won second place!
It’s an article in which I explore what a hackathon truly is, and what it means on a deeper social level when we strip away the surface layers. I ask why, now more than ever, we need to build more spaces for people to create, just as we’ve built them for those who code
This piece isn’t about replacing the traditional hackathon (we need them; we always will). It’s about acknowledging a missing piece, one that inspires people to care, to connect, to participate. That piece is culture. That piece is creative expression. And we’ve never been more in need of formats that help us build it consciously
More than winning second place, what truly makes me happy is knowing that others resonate with these thoughts
Maybe now is the right time for a Cultural Hackathon
Thank you!🌹

A few years ago, I wrote my first piece around the idea that everything is fashion. The element that made me reflect on this was NFTs. From there, I started considering this topic more and more, and I understood that everything is fashion (not in the traditional sense, but in identity, emotion, and belief)
At that time, it felt like a provocation. Only a few got it. But now, I believe we are entering an economy of sameness, and "Everything is Fashion" becomes more obvious. It will become a fact
When creation is democratized and sameness is everywhere, the final filter will no longer be function, it's fashion. Taste. Soul. Cultural resonance
My latest article is my most distilled reflection on this idea yet
It's about tools becoming statements. Branding becoming worldbuilding. Why the future belongs to those who create desirable, not just functional, things
On why, Everything is Fashion. And Now, It's Obvious
