Social Fabric
Social Fabric: Art and Activism in Contemporary Brazil brings together the work of ten artists who reflect upon the long-standing histories of oppressive power structures in the territory now known as Brazil. Blurring the line between art and activism and spanning installation, painting, performance, photography, sculpture, and video, these artists contribute to local and global conversations about the state of democracy, racial injustice, and the violence inflicted by the nation-state. This first English-language, book-length study of contemporary Brazilian art in relationship to activism assembles artist-authored texts, interviews, essays, and a conceptual mapping of Brazilian history to illuminate the function of art as a platform for critical engagement with the historical, political, and cultural configurations of a particular place. By refusing to remain neutral, these artists create spaces of vibrant and vital community and self-construction to explore how healing and justice may be possible, especially in the Black, LGBTQIA+, and Indigenous communities to which many of them belong.

The Split of Life

The works is organized in seven parts embodying the interweaving motifs & forces that have shaped the vista of THE SPLIT OF LIFE series. The selection includes the mammoth paintings on Vietnam, Hiroshima, South Africa, Lebanon, America, Slavery & the Holocaust. "The magnitude of Kanso's paintings places you in the midst of a beautiful & a violent cage in which a vast purgatory is reduced to the pupil of the eye. Brutal brushstrokes & intense colors blend with the subject matter: World chaos...such mastery is admirable, for the size of the canvases is more than big, it is heroic..."-- Hugo Figueroa, Panorama. "...A compulsive being substantiated by a beautiful faculty whose genius is the fact of the great truth."-- Ildebrando Rossi, Critica. "...A tapestry of souls...painted rhythms of naked spirits climbing an interminable Jacob's ladder in a metaphorical conflagration which repulses & then sucks us all in..."--Steve Seaberg, Art Paper.

THE GATES OF THE SOUL OF MAN
The actual Alchemical Metaphysical Tablets and Esoteric-Transcendental Artwork Images have to be perceived with an open mind and total lack of inherited prejudice. The written words contain cryptogrammic-gnostic meanings that will unlock the subconscious mind of the Seeker for Eternal Truth and penetrate into the very marrow of the Individuated Consciousness-Soul Unit. The Etheric Winds of Destiny from the City of Shamballah of Agartha are already blowing and entering through the Gates of the East this world of unspoken Darkness, Suffering, Cruelty, Illusion, Madness, and Evilhood. At the end of this century, the conscious Duality of Existence will begin to shift to the Oneness in the beatin...
Engaging Imagination and Developing Creativity in Education
Imagination is the Source of Creativity and Invention This series of essays has been collected expressly to bring readers new ideas about imagination and creativity in education that will both stimulate discussion and debate and also contribute practical ideas for how to infuse our daily classrooms with imaginative activities. In a world that values creative innovation, it is distressing that our schools are dominated by an educational paradigm that pays too little attention to engaging the imagination and emotions of students in the curriculum and the worlds challenges that the curriculum is designed to prepare students to meet. The ability of children to think creatively, to be innovative,...
