A beautifully illustrated look at how the acclaimed ceramicist draws on the postcolonial experience in her workMagdalene Odundo (b. 1950) is a Kenyan-born British ceramicist whose extraordinary works have been widely celebrated for their beauty and universality. Her studies of classical forms across many global traditions—from Greek and Chinese to Aztec and African—are evident in her intimate, evocative shapes. Sequoia Miller sheds light on the colonial and material traditions that inform Odundo's ceramics, showing how the artist deftly blends cultural and ethnographic sources to give expression to the postcolonial experience.This beautifully illustrated book discusses Odundo’s innovative method and puts her ceramic forms into conversation with global contemporary art. This close examination allows for a careful look at the artist’s works on paper—her prints and sketchbook drawings, published here in depth for the first time—demonstrating how they are a fundamental aspect of her creative practice. The book also features an in-depth Q&A with Odundo, in which she shares rare insights into her sense of self as an artist.With an incisive foreword by Susan Jefferies and illuminating contributions by Nehal El-Hadi, Elizabeth Harney, and Barbara Thompson, Magdalene Odundo provides new perspectives on an incomparable artist of our time, revealing the profound complexities of her work while deepening our understanding of modernism more broadly.Published in association with the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art, Toronto

Women come to Magdalene House in Nashville when they are ready to leave the streets. They live together, unsupervised and free of charge, for two years. During that time, the women are given time, space, and the resources they need to heal from what have often been lifelong experiences with suffering. (Of the twenty-two women now in residence, 80 percent have a diagnosed mental illness other than addiction, 40 percent are receiving treatment for hepatitis C, and one-third are HIV positive.) However, the story of the Magdalene community is not about these statistics, but about the stories the women tell. They say they thrive in the community because it is a place where they are free to be themselves, safe to give and receive love, and free to speak their truth, even to complain sometimes about how their storytelling is exploited ""for the good of the community."" A Place about Mercy is a participant-observation account of the history of this remarkable community founded in 1997, its structure, its Thistle Farms beauty products operation, and Reverend Becca Stevens's communal and spiritual vision. The book is finally about what it means to walk the path of healing with a group of unlikely women as guide. Magdalene House was the subject of a multiple-part documentary on National Public Radio.

Filled with deeply personal revelation and ancient, yet still timely wisdom, this passionate, raw chronicle explores the life of Mary Magdalene, otherwise known as Miriam of Magdala. It shares Miriam's relationship with the apostles-both male and female-and her life with Yeshua, most renowned to the world as Jesus of Nazareth.A significant upgrade to an outdated and distorted paradigm, her story challenges a filtered and archaic narrative that has defined Abrahamic religions as well as women's pivotal role in history.Miriam's evocative and enthralling voice represents the divine feminine in all of us. In response to the distorting power for far too long, it shares the need to rebalance the masculine and feminine energy in the world, starting within each one of us. This involves understanding not just the important role of Miriam alongside Yeshua but also the vital, never-recorded roles women have played over millennia, as well as the internal journey Yeshua taught: the kingdom lies within.The book presents a modern enhancement to reality and captures a universal yet revolutionary message about their lives, now recreated in a new, fuller, and more tangible narrative. This rich, bold, and emotional story pushes you beyond your comfort zone, prodding you to re-examine history as well as answers to life's most paradoxical questions about humanity's very existence.
