  • Artists For Morocco, Emergency Relief Print Sale

    On the evening of Friday September 8th, Morocco was hit by a catastrophic 6.8 magnitude earthquake. As the country mourns the loss of over 2,000 lives and 1,404 seriously injured people, the World Health Organisation estimates that the earthquake has already impacted over 300,000 people. The number is likely to continue climbing.

     As urgent calls are made for international aid, a new collective emerges in a bid to raise vital funds for critical on the ground assistance.

    Artists For Morocco, a newly launched print sale, will be donating all proceeds to two NGOs: Amal Women’s Training Center (a Marrakesh-based women’s charity delivering food to victims in need) and Rif Tribes Foundation (an NGO working to bring aid and support to the affected remote villages).

    Christian Bobin : la beauté simple du quotidien.

    An Interview, 2007.


    Skeptical, often deserving; a purgative; a seasoner; give live-
    liness, pungency; a preservative; create a false impression;
    is stored away … O, definitions, holding–for nothing–
    our black hands … tassels, tassels .. the words come, and
    the words come, trailing like dew upon the world’s wet
    wounds, O salt!

    Charles Wright, Salt

    I thought how, with the glory of its bloom,
    I should the darkness of my life illume

    Paul Laurence Dunbar, Promise

    Neither rosy nor prim; prefers the chorus to the heap of disturbance.


    “Softly–
    Yes, that is her patter in the hall.
    She has returned.”
    –Alfred Kreymborg, Again


    “They raise their eyes to her whose grace and wit
    Reanimate the shadows of the room,
    Her eyes nocturnal beings exquisite
    With witchery to make the stillness bloom;”
    –Alfred Kreymborg, When They Require Gardens


    “The person you are trying

    is not accepting. Is not

    at this time. Please

    again. The person

    you are trying is not

    in service.

    […] Again later

    at this time. Not accepting.”
