Product Description
In the current cultural context of conservative backlash, digital artist LUC EDOUARD GEORGES is delighted to present a coffee table/art book featuring 65 full color portraits of NYC RADICAL FAERIES accompanied by informative passages about this gay tribe. Still quite unknown and mysterious even to the gay community at large, Faeries are part of a flamboyant anti-assimilationist fringe of gay activism, liberation and consciousness. This colorful and fun-filled book is a visual guide to their philosophy and way of life. It is a historical recording of a particularly vibrant and creative collective in underground New York City in the early Millennium. Radical Faeries mediate between the masculine and the feminine and between the spiritual and the mundane. They buy land and turn it into Nature Sanctuaries where they gather, plan actions, explore and develop "Queer Consciousness." In cities, they are a network that marches against injustice and creates cultural events and interventions. With their circular manner of community building, which is inspired by Native Indian culture, inclusion, reverence for the sanctity of nature, and anti consumerism, this leaderless tribe creates a community that encourages diversity and nurtures independent and avant-garde artists. Radical Faeries are immeasurably cherished for their wisdom and sometimes even mystical message. And they like to be pretty!
