Rizvi, Dread Scott
Tame the Wilderness? is a hot flash, a volume of sorts, it arrives after the season, in retrospect, or perhaps in astonishment that things remain as uncertain as ever. The contributions of art, poetry, essays, vocal exercises, survival instructionals, word puzzles, horoscopes, and dream analysis together provide a temperature and way of seeing, and living through our spiraling conditions. This the first publication by Brief Histories Press, Crown Heights, Brooklyn. It is a communal achievement, and its production is based in collaboration with artists in New York and nearby. This collection speaks to matters of being together in the world, addressing ongoing issues of colonialism, race, indigeneity, class, and the climate, as well as the current global pandemic, and the courageous social justice movements happening in the United States and around the world, from Black Lives Matter and beyond.
“Redistribute Health” by Dread Scott (11"x17" in. artwork poster) is included with the publication.
