Concrete Dreamland
From an award-winning artist who was featured in Humans of New York comes a bold personal narrative about overcoming family trauma, addiction, poverty—and forging a creative life in the greatest city in the world. Born in Brooklyn in 1963, Patrick Dougher grew up in some of the most turbulent and culturally impactful periods of NYC's history. Often neglected as a child by his parents—a father who struggled with alcohol addiction and an overworked mother who struggled to make ends meet—he learned to fend for himself. Now a renowned visual artist, musician, actor and writer, Dougher brings to the page his memories, struggles, personal revelations, and a life intimately tied to the realities of growing up Black and disenfranchised on the streets of one of the most remarkable cities in the world. Concrete Dreamland is tragic and triumphant, gritty and hard, poetic and outrageously funny. Told in Dougher's brutally raw and courageously honest voice, these stories act as snapshots of a life lived in extremes: from gangsters to God, street style to sexuality, to recovery from drug addiction and alcoholism. He tells of his adventures as a pre-hip hop “hard rock' and an original Black punk rocker surviving during the dangerous days of the crack and AIDS epidemic in NYC, while also sharing tales of racism, homelessness, and his many brushes with fame and death. Audacious, unique, and moving, Concrete Dreamland is an unforgettable story of addiction, redemption, and life on the streets of a vanishing New York.
Indigenous Visual Cultures in Latin America

"The study of Indigenous visual culture has historically been dominated by iconographic approaches focused on the appearance of things, attempting to interpret what is being represented. (Is that a peccary? A serpent?) The goal of this volume is to consider what might lie beyond representationalist interpretations by exploring other ways that objects and images may have functioned within ancient Latin America. (This is why the book does not have chapters about perhaps the two most prominent traditions of Latin American Indigenous art, that of the Maya or Moche.) Contributors to this edited volume emphasize materiality, in which meaning inheres, at least partially, in the physical substance of a work; process, in which the interaction between maker and material are co-constitutive; relationality, in which materials and viewers are understood to co-construct meaning; and intersubjectivity, in which artworks are viewed as sentient, agentic, and/or efficacious by the people who made, viewed, used, and interacted with them"--
