Amy Shimshon-Santo’s new book Piecework: Ethnographies of Place is available to preorder (Unsolicited Press, Year of Womxn Series). The book of essays, with prose poems sprinkled in, shares life lessons from collective action for access to the arts in urban schools, neighborhoods, museums, and households in California. Real world strategies for community action are the pulse of every piece. The book honors public memory at a time when we are facing unprecedented disinvestments, and even punishment, for efforts to create and sustain inclusive spaces in education, libraries, and museums. (Resource for arts educators and creatives with a vital social practice.) More info here.
