One of his first forays in that quest occurred Friday night, when Steele came to DuPage County, an affluent Chicago suburb of nearly one million, where the largely Republican establishment is battling an increasingly potent Democratic Party. (In November, the Dems took 3 of 18 seats on the county board, the highest in decades in the Republican stronghold...

"I had too many apples at my dacha and instead of throwing them away I wanted to do something with them, for me making moonshine is just a little bit of fun," Gusev says...
...spirituality; the photographer’s apparent awkwardness in such garb intimates the discomfort of his relationship with these religious values, perhaps due to his homosexuality and his African heritage.Throughout “Rotimi Fani-Kayode (1955-1989),” the audience is struck by similarly evocative and potent images that present an individual crashing against and through boundaries created by his circumstances. Akin to a subject placed under trance by Yoruba shamans, the viewer of “Rotimi Fani-Kayode (1955-1989)” can retain focus or be distracted, drawn astray by the explicit nature...
