Just Paint’s mural project combines activism with public art
FORTY-THREE feet is a long way up. But big walls don’t daunt Cierra Selby, who jumped at the chance to create a mural on a blank space behind the Jewish Educational Alliance on Abercorn last month. Selby isn’t an artist, but that didn’t deter her, either. When the 24 year-old community activist learned the space…
Editor’s Note: May 24 election is the main event locally
In an echo of the century when Georgia was a one-party state —when only the Democratic primary really mattered—this month’s Democratic primary will essentially decide the future of a number of key slots, rendering the November general election a moot point for many.
Yan Cao: The fibers of her being
FIBERS ARTIST Yan Cao sees circles everywhere. Poploquize, Cao’s first solo exhibition opening at Oglethorpe Gallery on Friday, May 13, is full of them. Glimmering circles of silver needles snaking their way through near-invisible monofilament thread; the tight spiral of a typhoon’s eye rendered in ruffled fabric and plastic bags; the sinister perfection of the…

From Ping Pong to Table Tennis
I VAGUELY remember playing ping pong when I was little. Maybe my parents had a table on the screened-in porch. Or maybe I picked up the paddles at the YMCA. I can’t recall. Those little nets and plastic balls didn’t cross my mind again until Abdel Metwally called to tell me that he was starting…
Five Questions: Adam Turla of Murder By Death
SAVANNAH adores Murder By Death, and lucky for us, they love us right back.

My case against Judge Morse
Honestly, I couldn’t give two damns about material possessions or money in the bank. What grinds my gears is that my children are hung up in a court system with a judge who refuses to make a decision about their lives.
Review: Money Monster
“Men Walk On Moon” and “Nixon Resigns”; in actuality, it’s more like “Hillary Clinton Adopts Alien Baby” and “Bigfoot Kept Lumberjack As Love Slave.”
