Package shoved under Jamie's door
One garishly-wrapped copy of 'Art, Activism and Oppositionality: Essays from Afterimage'
With essays that span fifteen years-roughly from Ronald Reagan's 1980 presidential win to the 1994 Republican victories in Congress, a period marked by waning public support for the arts and growing antagonism toward activist art - Art, Activism, and Oppositionality confronts issues ranging from arts patronage, pedagogy, and the very definitions of art and activism to struggles involving AIDS, reproductive rights, sexuality, and racial identity.
Dear Jamie,
I remembered some of that discussion you and Askani had about the value of art as part of discourse, so Moira and I scoured Amazon for something on the subject and found this. It doesn't look too stultifyingly dull.
Happy birthday,
Nathan and Moira
PS: There was supposed to be a bow, but Bella decided to eat it.
