"In a real sense all life is inter-related. All persons are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be, and you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the inter-related structure of reality."
--Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

In light of current-day concerns about the direction United States society may be going in, we'd like to bring your attention back to a 2009 interview we conducted of activist/therapist/artist Maria-Jose (Cote) Soerens, who discusses her youth in Chile during the Pinochet's fascist reign.

Maria-Jose Soerens discusses the long-term effects of the Pinochet regime on the cultural identity of Chile, and her ideas for national healing through art and music.

RIP to one of Artocratic's heroes.
Editor Linda Ceriello photographed a page from a Bowie journal on which he made some trenchant comments about art, meaning, pluralism, and the techno age.
