“The country is
so wounded,
bleeding, and hurt
right now. The
country needs to
be healed—it’s not
going to be healed
from the top, politi-
cally. How are we
going to heal? Art is
the healing force.”

ON THE COVER: In South Asia, brick manufacturing is done by an endless cycle of bondage
as slaves, whose family debt can be transferred from generation to generation. Life in the
kilns is harsh and dangerous, working with arsenic and brick dust, working in inferno like
temperatures, carrying stacks up to 18 bricks, that weight 4 pounds each. They are beaten,
humiliated, intimidated, sexually assaulted. Katmandu, Nepal.
