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.” –

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.
