»Das Betrachten von Kristin Schnells atemberaubender Ode an die Natur, erzählt mit Farben, Formen und Vögeln, erfordert einen Augenblick des Innehaltens, um ihren künstlerischen Schaffensprozess in Zusammenarbeit mit einem lebenden Wesen zu verstehen. Inspiriert von der Schönheit farbiger Kirchenfenster, die sie als Kind erlebte, entwickelte sie eine Sensibilitätfür den Lauf der Sonne, für sich wandelnde Farbtöne und für Konzepte von Zufall und Spiritualität. Ihre Arbeit ist tatsächlicheine Art Altar, gewidmet der Schönheit und Zerbrechlichkeit der Vogelwelt, eingebettet in farbenfrohe Kulissen, die sie selbst entwirft und bemalt.« (Aline Smithson)Die deutsche Fotografin Kristin Schnell präsentiert Vögel in Gefangenschaft als Symbol für den Käfig, den sich Menschen häufig freiwillig bauen. Ihre Fotos wurden vielfach publiziert und international ausgestellt.

This study demonstrates how African American artists active since the 1970s have instrumentalized performance for the camera to intervene in existing representations of Black and Brown people in America and beyond.

Family Amnesia tells the story of the artist's great grandfather, grandfather and parent’s migration through collages, archival images, photographs, documents and historical anti-Chinese propaganda illustrations. The 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act set the backdrop for racial discrimination that has seeped into countless immigrant families. From operating a small hand laundromat, to working long hours for low wages in garment factories, generations of Yu’s family have worked tirelessly to overcome these obstacles. While the artist’s family migration story is shared by many Asian Americans this book provides an evocative first hand testimony of the challenges posed by racial discrimination.

In 1987, The Main: Portrait of a Neighborhood celebrated tolerance and the urban immigrant experience around Montreal's Boulevard Saint Laurent. This 2025 reimagining investigates belonging, identity and memory in a globalized world. In 1987 The Main: Portrait of a Neighborhood was published and quickly sold out. The critically acclaimed project celebrated the communities around Montreal's Boulevard Saint Laurent and contributed to the eventual designation of "The Main" as a Canadian heritage landmark. In 2017 to celebrate the city's 375th anniversary, the author was invited to re-imagine the original book. Returning to his former neighbourhood, his new book weaves old and new photographs with texts and archives, inviting us on a journey into his creative process to reflect on questions of home, identity, time, memory, and the evolving urban landscape, and asking: in a globalized world where people and cities are in constant movement, what happens to places and memories? Can we go home again?

Book of Mutter is a tender and disquieting meditation on the ability of writing, photography, and memory to embrace shadows while in the throes-and dead calm-of grief. Neither memoir, essay, nor poetry, it is an uncategorisable text that draws upon a repertoire of genres to write into and against silence.

"New Orleans artist George Valentine Dureau (1930-2014) has always been an enigma. His status as an important artist gained momentum beginning with his first exhibition at the New Orleans Museum of Art, then the Isaac Delgado Museum of Art, in the mid-1960s. Not only did his career undergo a meteoric rise, but his work proved at once controversial and provocative, nuanced and groundbreaking. Critics and collectors embraced his bold images, describing them as sexual, sensual, exploitative, erotic, iconoclastic, and innovative. Beneath the surface, Dureau was even more complex as a person and persona, as he crafted a sensational character out of his artistic acumen. His reputation dimmed after his death, but in recent years his importance, and that of the New Orleans art scene he occupied, has once again been recognized. George Valentine Dureau: Life and Art in New Orleans reassembles the pieces of Dureau's puzzle-work life. The complexity of his life came together in the studio, where he created some of the most important artworks of the latter twentieth century. This lush publication features 100 large-format photographic plates, most of which have never been seen or published and surprisingly some in color. There are more than 200 illustrations and two essays to accompany the plates, along with a special section devoted to the artists and artwork of 1980s New Orleans, featuring hundreds of additional photographs, and several appendices of supplementary materials, such as interview transcripts, a timeline of Dureau's life and career, a map of important locations, and a section on relevant art publications, invitations, and posters"--
