This collaboration adds to the extensive network of Indo-Pacific partnerships that the United States has created since the end of World War II.

18 November 2024 My friend Blanca sent me this from Havana: Here with a NY artist friend for the Havana Biennial. Amazing the spirit of the people, this is the healthiest country I’ve ever been in, spiritually and from the heart.

In April 2009, police brutally attacked G20 protesters in London. Ian Tomlinson was struck over the head by a police baton, and died from his injuries minutes later.  The massive policing operation that day was so violent that nearly 300 complaints were made against the police. Ian wasn't a protester, he was a newspaper vendor who had been caught up in the chaos of a police riot. His family campaigned for justice for decades, before an inquest finally returned a verdict of unlawful killing by police.
