Post tenebras lux

Description:

This collection supports and promotes awareness to the important mission and framework of the Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here Coalition's focus on the lasting power of the written word and the arts in support of the free expression of ideas, the preservation of shared cultural spaces, and the importance of responding to attacks, both overt and subtle, on artists, writers, and academics working under oppressive regimes or in zones of conflict, despite the destruction of that literary/cultural content. "In the books made by Evelina Garliauskiene, you can see ideas and stories grow out of words, lines, shapes, forms and colours. As a graphic designer she considers shapes, forms and lines an integral part in storytelling"--Kaleid Editions website (viewed June 24, 2015).
