Harvest In September
Harvest In September
We’re saying goodbye to the lazy days of summer and welcoming the energy that fall has to offer with the editorial theme of HARVEST.
As the season changes, we’re reminded that fall is more than just a time to literally gather what we’ve grown, but also a time to conceptually reap what we sow — and that the values, the practices, and the conversations we’re planting today will shape the thoughts and views of tomorrow.
Over the past few months, HRN has doubled down on ...

A Pineapple Walks into a Canadian Pizzeria…
Article by Addison Austin-Lou, 2024 HRN Research and Radio Intern
Hawaiian pizza is without a doubt the most controversial slice you’ll ever take a bite of. Americans are split almost dead even on whether they like it as a topping or not. In 2017 Jimmy Kimmel took to the airwaves with a blistering critique of this sweet and savory slice. He cited a tweet by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stating “I have a pineapple. I have a pizza. And I stand behind this delicious Southwestern ...
Play in July
This month's theme is Play. Here's what our artist, Jashua Larose, had to say about this theme and the artwork:
"I had a lovely day out in Long Island with a group of friends that I haven’t seen in a long time. It was a rather big group that we huddled into threes. We were all enjoying the environment in our own ways. Some were lying on the towel, catching the sun. Some were playing on the sand with a volleyball. And some of us were taking a dip in the water. We’d group together then ...
Celebration in June
HRN’s June theme is all about Celebration! Jashua Larose, our June artist, presents her interpretation of the theme. She says:
“When thinking about what brings New Yorkers together for a “celebration,” I thought about the extended hours of daylight that we collectively enjoy. With warm temperatures and the sun setting past 8PM, radiant energy is felt throughout the city that is echoed by the warm hues of summer sunsets. We stay out later, losing track of time, hanging onto the sun. ...
Adaptation in May
Our editorial theme for May is Adaptation. Salu Binahtabor, our May artist, described the theme this way:
"Adaptation is all about change and morphing into a different size or shape. We are all the same but different, adapting and changing in our everyday lives to become better versions of ourselves. Just like a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, adaptation allows us to grow and evolve into something more beautiful and resilient. No matter our color or what we believe ...
Borders in April
HRN's editorial theme for the month of April is Borders. Here's what our artist Salu Binahtabor had to say about the idea:
"It is on the US-Mexico border, and regarding recent tension at the border, I wanted to make an art piece about how everyone is friendly and loving. The Mexico side is not desert; it's a forest of beauty and the wall is covered in vines because that symbolizes how it is not in use and is old. After all, it's not needed anymore and most of it is run down and gone. ...
Equity in March
March's editorial theme is Equity, and the art was co-created by Taylor Early and H Conley.
Taylor says, "equity to me is often indicated by a feeling; a way of navigating a space with the knowledge that– because of the structures in place– you may take up the space you deserve to, and safely. Equity often shows up as inequity, acutely felt by the folks most actively championing it. Equity to me is a way of interacting with life; curious and ego-less, moving with compassion, care and ...
Community in February
February's editorial theme is Community, and our Julia Child Writing Fellow Loan Nguyen created this month's illustration. Loan says:
“Canh khổ qua is a traditional soup dish the Vietnamese prepared during the Lunar New Year that uses bitter melon, also known as bitter gourd, karela. In Vietnamese, 'khổ qua' means to surpass difficulties. A comfort food for many and a symbol that we are resilient despite the bitterness. Growing up, we sat down at the table to eat it together, sharing ...
Regenerative in January
For the first theme of 2024, we're focusing on the idea of Regenerative, featuring work by H Conley and Taylor Early.
H and Taylor say, "When thinking about the word 'regenerative' and the contexts we usually interact with it in— agriculture, gardening— it felt like an opportunity to visualize our intentions as an organization. Bringing hands into the image, representing sharing and community, the color green evoking plants and growth, and saturating the background with the color of ...
