Описание: In Waste Works, Brenda Chalfin examines Ghana’s planned city of Tema, theorizing about the formative role of waste infrastructure in urban politics and public life. Chalfin argues that at Tema’s midcentury founding, a prime objective of governing authorities was to cultivate self-contained citizens by means of tightly orchestrated domestic infrastructure and centralized control of bodily excrement to both develop and depoliticize the new nation. Comparing infrastructural innovations across the city, Chalfin excavates how Tema residents pursue novel approaches to urban waste and sanitation built on the ruins of the inherited order, profoundly altering the urban public sphere. Once decreed a private matter to be guaranteed by state authorities, excrement becomes a public issue, collectively managed by private persons. Pushing self-care into public space and extending domestic responsibility for public well-being and bodily outputs, popularly devised waste infrastructures are a decisive arena to make claims, build coalitions, and cultivate status. Confounding high-modernist ideals, excremental infrastructures unlock bodily waste’s diverse political potentials.

Описание: Introduction: This is a book of original Art Prints. As an Artist I am inspired by the concepts of Sacred Geometry. Sacred Geometry appears in nature as a seashell or snowflake. The perfection & imperfection reaches our right brains wish to be satisfied by the logical & objective, as well as our left brains wish to be satisfied by the intuitive & subjective at the same time. It is my hope by utilizing forms of sacred geometry that I may bring you the observer, by reaching both right & left brain simultaneously with my artworks, messages & experiences that are the most balancing, holistic & healing for both your individual journeys & your connection to the deep human collective consciousness (past, present & future). Bio: I am a graduate of Cal Arts in Dance & Choreography. I have delved into many careers ranging from professional dancer/choreographer, film & video production, publishing & editing, natural medicine to art. I have a fondness for motion and have incorporated that love to the perspective of sacred geometry in artistry (which per say is in motion). I wish to find balance between our right & left brains, our conscious & subconscious. You will see imagery reflecting all this in my artworks. I am gallery represented & have sold over 60 artworks to date over my recent journey to heal with art. My favorite medium is to hand tool my Sacred Geometry designs in pure copper. Adria: The Artist.
