On Fire, in Prison
I will post one or two more posts about the World Tribunal, which has wrapped up, especially about the legal and political theory underpinning this endeavor -- which I think is very important in this day and age when institutions crumble around us, failing even to pretend to be performing even their minimal duties.
For now, though, I want to highlight a few pieces from the art that was on display. The Korean contingent had many large posters and murals and here is one:
There was also art by artists from Iraq on display. The collection was named "Iraqi Artists Respond to Abu Ghraib."
I took pictures, and meant to go back and jot down names. Alas, never happened, so here it is, as anonymous work. I had mentally named the first one "red white and prison," and the second one "on fire." I will see if I can find the names suggested by the artists -- that is if I can learn the names of artists.
P.S. I have high resolution versions of all the pictures I have posted -- I compressed them here for sake of ease of downloading. If anyone wants the bigger, high-res versions, please email me at z at underthesamesun.org.
