Please. No.   "As the dancer moves in and out of the apparatus, from flying to floor, I notice that at moments the mechanics of working with an apparatus are revealed. What a beautiful metaphor for how transformative justice must function - at times we need to see the mechanics of the work to know where we have gone and where we are going. Maybe this is what the dancer sees as her gaze travels both forward and backward on the diagonal toward the apparatus." - Bhumi Patel   Read Review of SNP Donate Share Tweet Forward
