Its results are the failing economic and public health systems we confront today--those that benefit the few and put the most vulnerable in harm's way. Contributors to this volume not only protest these neoliberal roots of our p...

The NGV is producing a large-scale publication to accompany this exhibition. With a broader reach than a traditional exhibition catalogue, this volume presents discourses from a variety of perspectives, including those of academics, journalists, literary figures, social commentators, artists and curators. The publication is intended to work as five books within one book. It comprises five linen-bound large-format paperbacks housed in a magnetic slip case. Each of the main four volumes speaks to a different theme explored in the Triennial, and each is designed to be transportable. The fifth volume acts as a dossier on NGV Triennial, with the exhibition information, positioning statements, listings of all supporters, biographies of artists and authors, and project descriptions. The NGV Triennial publication will feature over eighty authors from around the globe, including NGV writers, with all newly commissioned scholarship and an estimated word count of over 250,000 words. The publication will be heavily illustrated with images of works, and also includes photo essays and source and research material from featured artists and designers.

From the award-winning host of the Radically Loved podcast, an invitation to discover the healing power of who you are, body, mind, and spirit. Growing up in East L.A. in the nineties, Rosie Acosta dismissed spirituality and wellness as something people like her didn’t do. But after being arrested at age fifteen, she knew that only a radical change would lead her away from debilitating anxiety and self-doubt. As she puts it, yoga offered her a ladder and she began to climb. In this empowering and accessible guide, Acosta leads readers through the essential spiritual practices she uses to create a radically loved life. With the arc of her own journey as a framework, she presents meditations, journaling questions, and practices for identifying and honoring our own radical truths. With grit and grace, this heart-filled guide makes spiritual practice accessible to everyone and helps you become the person you are truly meant to be.
