THE FLOWERING - $24.99 (Discounted Price: $22.45)
Judy Chicago's complete autobiography, The Flowering, will be released in trade paperback by Thames & Hudson. This powerful narrative weaves together the stories behind some of Chicago's most significant artworks and her journey as a woman artist with the chronicles of her personal relationships and her understanding, from decades of experience and extensive research, of how misogyny, racism, and other prejudices intersect to erase the legacies of artists who are not white and male while dismissing the suffering of millions of creatures who share the planet.
"[A]n intimate [and] revealing account of an artist of grit and gumption who set the pattern for much of the art being made today." -- The Washington Post
----
READ & RIOT - $24.99 (Discounted Price: $22.49)
Nadya Tolokonnikova's Read & Riot is structured around Nadya's ten rules for revolution (Be a pirate! Make your government shit its pants! Take back the joy!) and illustrated throughout with stunning examples from her extraordinary life and the philosophies of other revolutionary rebels throughout history. Rooted in action and going beyond the typical "call your senator" guidelines, Read & Riot gives us a refreshing model for civil disobedience, and encourages our right to question every status quo and make political action exciting--even joyful.
"Tolokonnikova fills her book with passion and political acumen......With its stellar mix of personal experience and hard-won advice, Tolokonnikova's guide is sure to fuel social movements for years to come." -- Publishers Weekly
