With the early portraits I made, I wanted to show the reductionism around gender and sex in particular. After the first portraits commissioned by Paper Magazine in 2015, the prints were exhibited at the World Economic Forum in 2016, after which Chelsea and I stayed in touch, and worked together on a short graphic short story called ‘Suppressed Images 2016’ that we published as part of her clemency campaign. In the comic we forecast the idea of Obama commuting her sentence, and Chelsea being freed and being able to come and see an exhibition of portraits of herself for the first time. We published the comic on the morning of 17 January, and then that afternoon Obama commuted her sentence. It was an unbelievable and emotional experience. Listening to Zachary Levi for 6+ hours is literally the best way to consume this book. Hearing his emotion while reading brought this book to life.

Losing a loved one is, in itself, painful. Even more, it was indescribable for Pie and her family when she was brutally taken away from them. The actress was unable to work for a year after the incident. “Forgive us our sins us we forgive those who sinned against us” Like me, the author uses faith in Christ to filter the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of situations. Ironically, like many schooled in Christianity—including myself—there’s a struggle to see how forgiveness in personally traumatic situations fit reality. It’s a story I wish I had heard in my early 20’s. I never had any idea he was struggling so much in all this time. It's crazy to think how someone who could bring so much joy on TV and interviews etc could be going through such dark times. It goes to show you can't really know what anyone is going through, and we need to always remember to be kind and empathetic to everyone, and as Zac explains in this book, to ourselves.

It is so easy to dismiss the book as "oh, poor, little (but really super tall), white, male celebrity. Had a tough childhood and tough time making it in Hollywood." But when you get past the celebrity factor and see you are reading about a real person, struggling with what so many of us (especially us perfectionists) struggle with, the book become relatable with some snippets of sound advice. reading zac’s story, i found his mom to be relatable to myself. and it terrified me. a glimpse of what my unresolved brokenness could become. At first, I thought that this was going to be an interesting exploration of the necessity for “radicals” within challenging societal parameters (for legality and morality aren't always congruent) - if social commentary has one fan, it is me, if it has no fans, I am dead. Don’t get me wrong, many important themes were dissected, albeit through the lens of a capricious narrator: sexuality, gender and race relations to name a few. Welcome to England, 1809. London is a violent, intolerant city, exhausted by years of war, beset by soaring prices and political tensions. By day, John Church preaches on the radical possibilities of love to a multicultural, working-class congregation in Southwark. But by night, he crosses the river to the secret and glamorous world of a gay molly house on Vere Street, where ordinary men reinvent themselves as funny, flirtatious drag queens and rent boys cavort with labourers and princes alike. There, Church becomes the first minister to offer marriages between men, at enormous risk.

After communicating via mail, Manning sent Dewey-Hagborg hair clippings and two swabs which she placed in a plastic fruit punch bag from the Joint Regional Correctional Facility at Fort Leavenworth. Together, they decided to create two portraits: one to reflect Manning’s female gender, and one gender neutral image intended to demonstrate the reductionism of forensic recognition. Their collaboration materialised as a form of activism, and Dewey-Hagborg was delighted to generate visibility for Manning while subverting algorithmic systems of facial recognition and portraiture. What emerged were two portraits collectively titled Radical Love (2015). They function as a homage to Manning, while also dismantling genetic data as absolute, restating that it is our liberty and right to represent ourselves how we see fit. Probably Chelsea, a series of 30 different portraits of Manning created from DNA analysis in 2017 and exhibited at Fridman Gallery, New York, is an extension of Radical Love. As there is truth, beauty, and goodness in all religious paths, exposure to Islamic insights is an essential component of one's inter-religious reading. I am reading this now for the second time and tagging those passages which speak to me in a distinct way. I am sure that a third reading might cause me to add some tags and remove others. Levi takes us through his life long experience with anxiety and depression and how he confronted it and continues to live with it in a way that leaves him less desperate and more fulfilled. Nietzsche, Friedrich. 1967. The Birth of Tragedy and The Case of Wagner. Ed. & Tr. by Walter Kaufmann. New York: Vintage Press.The riddle unravels when viewed alongside the Genealogy. By pairing Nietzsche’s phrase with her compressed movements, Graham situates her “Dance” in the space between warring systems of value where affirmation is needed most. The irony wasn’t lost on Cherry Pie, an anti-death penalty advocate. For 13 years, she was active in the prison ministry. So, it hit her hard when it happened to her mother.
