Just Between Us…..
Welcome to our Winter issue, posted as we approach the darkest day of the year,
December 21. Here are patches of light to help us through this gloomy period.
Featured are the works of three visual artists with very different backgrounds and styles. Emil Lombardo's photographs of transgender life out in the streets are a joyous celebration. Veronica Viacava’s black and white photographs use ordinary objects to question fundamental assumptions. Biddy Peppin confronts catastrophe through paintings both realistic and eerie.
From the United States, Samara Rosen writes about the fires in California and Sara Safyan considers the US presidential race and its repercussions. Paulo Hartmann, a Brazilian climate activist, provides insights into how indigenes in Brazil confront those who would destroy their land.
I share further thoughts in Chronicles of an Elder, my own personal history unfolding in an unprecedented time.
