![]() ![]() Under the imperialist eagle and puppet-like figure in its talons, Patten depicts a recent firebombing that had destroyed the homes of several Black families a few blocks away. ![]() Folded into the Puerto Rican flag and the red, white and green banner of the African National Congress, are the images of Harriet Tubman, pointing towards the nightmare-scape, alongside Frederick Douglass, Lolita Lebrón, Malcolm X and H. ![]() The dystopian nightmare to the right-hand side of the mural attempts to encroach on the multicultural utopian melting pot to the left, only to be fended off by workers and important figures from U.S. The three-storey mural takes advantage of the building's structure by presenting the image as book pages waiting to be read. Community meetings and bilingual flyers filled the neighbourhood in the hope of garnering community input and consensus over the choice of imagery. Over a five-month period, Patten led a group of 20 teens and adults to develop various themes for the mural that would be located on Douglass Street in the Park Slope area of Brooklyn - an area more commercial than residential at the time. Mary Patten painted Douglass Street Mural – Cityarts Workshop’s first Brooklyn-based project – in 1976. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() It's no lighthearted fare, and far from a YA tone or style. This is an elaborate retelling of an old fairytale made painfully, intricately human and present. ![]() But after a few chapters of misery, I thought I'd try out the various speeds and settled with 1.5x.and then suddenly, I was listening to an honestly compelling story. HOWEVER: If you speed it up, she'll sound quite normal! Before I did so, I was hitting myself for not just buying the paper book. The narrator's dragging, snoozey pace and melodramatic, drawn-out wail will make you want to throw things. Trust me when I say that if you don't listen to this book via the Audible app so that you can speed it up to 1.5 (and 2.0 when the villain gives a creepy lecture), you'll either give up quickly or else want to tear your hair out before long. ![]() ![]() ![]() She publishes the book as Juniper Song, which could, you know, maybe be Asian. She changes her name, which was June Hayward. KELLY: You nodded to something there - that she tries to pass herself off as Chinese American. And then we get into a roller coaster of all the absurdities about publishing, all the scandals, all the lies people tell and the online pile-ons that happens when people are found to be guilty of wrongdoing. ![]() KUANG: Well, June decides to steal Athena's unpublished manuscript and pass it off as her own, all the while passing herself off as Chinese American when she's not. KELLY: So in a nutshell, what happens next? Kuang, and I want to say welcome to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. They are friends - kind of - until Athena dies by choking on a pancake, with June watching, and with the manuscript of her next book, a masterpiece that no one - not even her editor - has seen yet, typed and neatly stacked in the next room. The other key character is Athena Liu, a spectacularly successful writer. ![]() The new novel "Yellowface" is about a thief - namely, June Hayward, a writer - not a particularly successful writer. ![]() ![]() In her drugged sleep, Lyra dreams of meeting her friend Roger in the land of the dead, and promises to help. ![]() ![]() Lyra's ambitious and hardhearted mother, Mrs Coulter, hides her in a remote cave. Having learned of the witches' prophecy that Lyra Belacqua is the second Eve, the Magisterium decides she must be killed to prevent a new fall. Important plot devices are the alethiometer, a truth-telling symbol reader the subtle knife, capable of cutting windows between worlds and the amber spyglass, a device for viewing the form of consciousness known as Dust. In some of these worlds, humans' souls naturally exist outside of their bodies in the form of sentient " dæmons" in animal form. The novel is set in a number of worlds dominated by the Magisterium, a theocracy which actively suppresses heresy. It was named Children's Book of the Year at the 2001 British Book Awards, and was the first children's book to be longlisted for the Booker Prize. Published in 2000, it won the 2001 Whitbread Book of the Year award, the first children's novel to do so. ![]() ![]() The Amber Spyglass is the third novel in the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ghosts of Art Ensemble of Chicago and Rahsaan Roland Kirk color the air, yet Lafawndah’s mastery of pop songcraft, vocal production and razor-honed clarity of purpose cut through. These are torch songs for when it rains ash, creation ballads for when the earth turns inside out. ![]() Inviting a new degree of spontaneity and freedom into her process, Lafawndah’s collaborators - Theon Cross (tuba), Nathaniel Cross (trombone), Valentina Magaletti (percussion), and Nick Weiss (keyboards) - encircle her confrontational character studies with iridescent, cinematic chamber-bass moves. ![]() ![]() In contrast to the precision- tuned industrial productions of Ancestor Boy, The Fifth Season breathes a different kind of volatility. These are stories where a broken heart can tear apart a continent. Inspired by her encounter with author NK Jemisin’s Broken Earth trilogy, Lafawndah both pays homage to and extends further the elemental, emotionally charged myths of Jemisin’s books. After a banner year that witnessed Lafawndah release her first album Ancestor Boy, the debut of her soundsystem Fara Fara, and further incursions into film, contemporary art and fashion, the ceaseless artist returns with another plot twist: The Fifth Season. ![]() ![]() ![]() "While the third house, which lies across from the ninth on the zodiacal wheel, is all about knowledge and information, this one is about wisdom, intuition, and the big picture," the twins explain, adding this house also reveals how we "take risks and venture to various parts of the world, our minds, and our beings."Īccording to astrologer Molly Pennington, Ph.D., the ninth house is also sometimes called the "House of God" in traditional, Hellenistic astrology, because of its relation to beliefs, faith, and philosophy. As the AstroTwins previously wrote for mbg, the ninth house also deals with belief systems, religion, morals, and ethics. The ninth house is connected to all things expansive-thoughts, travel, higher-level learning, philosophy, and more. ![]() ![]() The war and all the rumors they had heard about Nazi treatment of Jews suddenly became real for the brothers. When it looked like the Nazis were also going to take Beatrix away, Lars suddenly told them that she was his niece. Beatrix is left sitting on the tram by herself.īrothers Lars, 63, and Hans Gorter, 65, both life-long bachelors, work together on a tram - Hans driving it while Lars collects tickets. Sitting on the tram, on their way to meet the woman who would take Beatrix to safety, her mother is suddenly taken away by the Nazis who regularly board and search the trams looking for Jews. ![]() ![]() But now it is time to hid Beatrix in a safer more stable place. Beatrix, 6, and her mother are Jews who have been running and hiding from the Nazis for that long.
