COME CHECK OUT elin o’Hara slavick’s BOMB AFTER BOMB:
“Asking these images to be informative would be like asking those opening moments of Apocalypse Now to be informative, to spell out the number of Vietnamese dying in that jungle. The beauty of that moment, and the message it carries, can only be discovered in the awful self-realization that one has found beauty in murder, and pleasure in horror. At their best, o’Hara slavik’s images do all of this and more.
Bomb After Bomb: A Violent Cartography begins with two great essays that frame the images very well. Howard Zinn discusses the naiveté of bombardiers from his own experiences in World War II, and Carol Mavor considers the aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in both their beauty and their atrocity. The book concludes with an interview of o’Hara slavick by Catherine Lutz.
Bomb After Bomb requires a lot of your time to consider. The images are full of depth and provoke much self-discovery. The essays are powerful, incendiary, and a perfect pairing with the imagery.” – bigredandshiny.com

WEDNESDAY 25 JULY @ 7PM
THIS IS MY HOME by Adam Rust
Rust tells the stories of North Carolinians in manufactured, low-cost housing. These low-income families describe the successes of the manufactured housing program in eastern North Carolina, and the author will discuss how this program can help overcome the failures of other housing programs. It will serve as a solution, an asset in combating our nation’s affordable housing crisis.

Join us for burgers and dancin’ on the lawn of Weaver Street Market in Carrboro. Proceeds from the cookout keep us open (really). Bring friends, families, and other significant people. Armand and Bluesology will be performing and the veggie burgers will be delicious.
