For Nonhumans Only

Dear Animal Kingdom,

Feel free to check out the front window of 509 Cultural Center and the Tenderloin National Forest in SF. There’s something playing for you there. And if you get there fast enough, maybe some sunflower seeds. Also, stick around for the rest of Streetopia. It’s going to be great.

Sincerely,

Laurel

Animals Are Outside Today

Check out Colleen Plumb’s Animals are Outside Today.

From her artist’s statement:

In 1928, Henry Beston stated regarding animals in his book, The Outermost House: “They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth.” Animals Are Outside Today is a journey examining underneath this net, offering us the chance to contemplate our intersections with animals and consider the multi-layered impact humans have on other living beings.

Thanks Christina Seely for the head’s up.
