Includes bibliographical references and index.Throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, a radical cultural scene emerged in cities across the globe, finding expression in the galleries, nightclubs, and bedrooms of New York, London, Los Angeles, and Rome. In Lyle Ashton Harris: Today I Shall Judge Nothing That Occurs, the artist's archive of 35 mm Ektachrome images are presented alongside journal entries and recollections from a host of artistic and cultural figures. It offers a unique document of what Harris has described as "ephemeral moments and emblematic figures shot in the 1980s and '90s, against a backdrop of seismic shifts in the art world, the emergence of multiculturalism, the second wave of AIDS activism, and incipient globalization." As a young artist experimenting with installation, performance, and collage at the time, Harris obsessively photographed his friends, lovers, and individuals who either were, or would become, figures of influence, such as Marlon Riggs, Cornel West, bell hooks, Stuart Hall, Klaus Biesenbach, Nan Goldin, Catherine Opie, Glenn Ligon, and others. The images record the confluence of multiple international communities--gathering points for the exchange of ideas and the development of theoretical positions on art and culture that continue to resonate to this day. Together, these photographs and the journals not only sketch a personal history of a unique time of importance to contemporary art, but also show the development and shaping of Harris's eye and influences as an artist. -- From Publisher's website:Lyle Ashton Harris has cultivated a diverse artistic practice ranging from photography and collage to installation and performance art.

Nabil Mousa : breaking the chains / by Mousa, Nabil,1966-artist,interviewee.(CARDINAL)873681; Cauman, John,contributor.(CARDINAL)228145; Riley, Charles A.,II,contributor.(CARDINAL)274287; Salamatina, Oksana,editor,interviewer.(CARDINAL)873656; Skira (Firm),publisher.(CARDINAL)732542;

"Using color in unexpected ways, Mousa's work is always framed by hope for greater equality, no matter how naive or impossible that might seem in the face of ever-challenging political and religious differences." - Publisher."I am an artist. I am a Syrian. I am an American. I am an Arab. I was born a Christian, but I adhere to no organized religion. I am an immigrant. I am a gay man. I am a husband and a son. I am an activist. I am a critic. I am a peacemaker. All of these descriptors inform my diverse artistic practice. Through the years, I have developed a vocabulary of symbols, colors, cultural references, and gestural mark-making that I use to reflect upon politics, world events, societal mores, culture, and beauty. I mine my personal story to produce commentary about the world, as well as to create formal works of art. I draw upon readily identifiable references such as the American flag or pages from the Torah, Bible, and Quran to support my narrative and to draw upon as visual forms. I look outward to the world and inward to my spirit. I tend to work in series. Some explore concepts of balance and harmony emanating, for instance, from my studies of meditation and Tantric practices. I have a deep interest in the beauty of Arab visual culture--the elegance of Arabic calligraphy and the formal qualities of "arabesque" design. However, when I echo these exquisite forms in my paintings and prints, it's for more than art for art's sake. In fact, these motifs, along with cultural signifiers such as the burka, are highly charged. They are built upon the memories of September 11, 2001 and current global politics. As an Arab-American, I have personally experienced the heightened tensions, the suspicions, even the outright hostilities between and within the Western World and the Middle East. The on-going war in Syria and the American debates about immigration, continue to fuel these concerns. Three major religions-Christianity, Islam, and Judaism-teach tolerance and mutual respect. Yet, they are also notable for their instances of antagonism, and at times their ill will and violent acts within and across denominations. At the same time, I am inspired by the resiliency of the Syrian people and their abilities to find joy despite the despair of the situation in which they live. I am equally moved by the Palestinian people, and their ability to survive and maintain dignity in a situation that offers few options. For many years, I was a closeted gay man. When I came out to my family, my parents rejected me-a trauma that continues to haunt me many years later. I am now happily married, having lived through the struggles to legalize gay marriage in the United States. Ultimately, and as a citizen of the United States, I enjoy the privilege of security, safety, and dignity as a man and as a human being. I am also privileged to use my art as a platform to fight for justice and equality. Ultimately, my paintings, sculptures, prints and performances braid together my personal narrative as a gay man, my identity as an Arab-American, my solidarity with people of the Middle East, and my commitment to activism. I make art in the name of social justice, while I reflect upon my journey as an artist and as a human being. " - Artist statement from:

"A visually stunning graphic non-fiction book on queer and trans resistance. Over the past ten years, we have witnessed the rise of queer and trans communities that have defied and challenged those who have historically opposed them. Through bold, symbolic imagery and surrealist, overlapping landscapes, queer illustrator and curator Syan Rose shines a light on the faces and voices of these diverse, amorphous, messy, real, and imagined queer and trans communities. In their own words, queer and trans organizers, artists, healers, comrades, and leaders speak honestly and authentically about their own experiences with power, love, pain, and magic to create a textured and nuanced portrait of queer and trans realities in America. The many themes include Black femme mental health, Pacific Islander authorship, fat queer performance art, disability and health care practice, sex worker activism, and much more. Accompanying the narratives are Rose's startling and sinuous images that brings these leaders' words to visual life. Our Work Is Everywhere is a graphic non-fiction book that underscores the brilliance and passion of queer and trans resistance. Includes a foreword by Lambda Literary Award-winning author and activist Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, author of Care Work : Dreaming Disability Justice."--
