Bits, scraps, and just general randomness. At its best this is a purposefully curated sort of art project thing. But often it is more of a hodgepodge of personal and political and geeky and ranty goodness, all brought to you by whatsername; writer of The Jaded Hippy. Probably NSFW!
DIGNITY: In Honor of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples by Dana Gluckstein
A collection of iconic photographs honors Indigenous Peoples worldwide. Its power, artistry and impassioned call to action make it a historic book in support of Indigenous Peoples who are among the world’s most impoverished and oppressed inhabitants. [Source]
The Indigenous Peoples of the world have a gift to give that the world needs desperately, this reminder that we are made for harmony, for interdependence. If we are ever to prosper, it will only be together… The work of Dana Gluckstein helps us to truly see, not just appearances, but essences, to see as God sees us, not just the physical form, but also the luminous soul that shines through us.
— Archbishop Desmond Tutu from the book’s foreword
