Per(Sister): Incarcerated Women of Louisiana shares the stories of currently and formerly incarcerated women in Louisiana and shines a light on the myriad issues as identified and expressed by the women themselves. The exhibition presents works from more than 30 artists who created new works based on the personal stories of the persisters. Stories of loss, hope, despair, survival, triumph, and persistence demonstrate the universal struggles faced by communities impacted by incarceration and the personal resilience of each woman featured.

Per(Sister) originated at the Newcomb Art Museum of Tulane University under the leadership of museum director Monica Ramirez-Montagut assisted by curator Laura Blereau, and was developed in equal partnership with Syrita Steib and Dolfinette Martin with additional support provided by Operation Restoration and Women with a Vision.

With a highly segregated education system that relies too heavily on invalid standardized testing and punitive disciplinary tactics, the school-to-prison pipeline is only strengthening for the poor, Black. Further, considering that the crime rate has steadily dropped and stagnated over the past few decades, this makes the negative correlation between declining crime and police militarization, or the rapid expansion of the prison industrial complex much more glaringly apparent and disturbing.

Come join us for a community discussion on the origins of the carceral state, how its funde

Welcome to the Impeachment Circus
By James C. McIntosh, M.D.

What the world has seen of Donald Trump since 2016, has been Trump in the larval stages. He has been testing the walls of his cocoon since his first days of office. He has heeded minimal advice, bowed to few established conventions and tempered his speech hardly

On September 7th and 8th, 2019, the Brooklyn Antiquarian Book Fair will return to the Brooklyn Expo Center for the sixth straight year. Since Brooklyn is a recognized hub of underground culture, this year the Fair will focus on subculture and a number of new trends in collecting. Among the topics are magic, mysticism, witchcraft, underground fanzine culture and more.

The Fair features 110 dealers displaying over 50,000 items for sale including vintage books, vernacular photography, and rare paper, prints and ephemera – all priced from under $50 to many thousands of dollars. There will be something for everyone – from the seasoned collector to the first-timer.

But that’s not all. The Fair will also present two exclusive art exhibitions, ten seminars and a free-of-charge appraisal clinic. And proof that Antiquarian Book Fairs are not just for the older set, unique one-of-a-kind items such as a first edition Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, one of only 5,150 copies in wrappers, w
