Chapter 1: Prologue
It felt like the forewarned journey back
Chapter 2: Mourning Diary
Such was the setting where Caesar commanded
Chapter 3: On Classicism’s Ruins

tensions and hypocrisies of an imperialist partial-democracy based on slave labor and exclusion?
Chapter 4: Moving White Bodies
just how tragically close we still are to that history and its racist, hateful images

free it from its fetters, and stir it from its place
Chapter 6: Myths and Other Peccadilloes
the reference to the myth of Medusa in the text just for now (and then)…some notes on time and event, questions of performance art and its documentation in photographic and digital media (in the opening section ‘in the event’)
“Medusa’s lair is probably my mother’s hair salon.”

seemed for so long the unreachable
But whatever disasters befall, do not flinch.
By trusting and tuning the strings of his Thracian lyre
understand what else you must do
Just enough to live
