Apexart: Come Out and Play: Abecedarium for Our Times, 06.12.08

Radhika Subramaniam launches an Abecedarium for Our Times - a chapbook for re-visioning our words and our world with contributions from 26 writers and artists.

 

Chapbooks will be available at the reception

My little sister, at 2, parsing the world by peering over our shoulders, let us know that W stood for red -- the color of the letter on the chimney of the witch Wobblyknees in a children's book. "Dubli" was a private family word for red until we realized that Dubya also stood for a very global War in which red bled everywhere. I asked 26 writers and artists to contribute to an "abecedarium for our times"- a chapbook for re-visioning our words and our world.
