Five years on, abolitionist zine ‘In the Belly’ continues to expand the conversation – Matter News

Political choices, political crimes: Harm reduction faces pushback around the world – Matter News

Photo by Kaytee Riek licensed as CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 The way Machteld Busz recalls it, people in the Netherlands were overdosing and dying in the 1970s and ’80s. Syringes littered the streets. Some people were getting arrested, others were going to rehab, but all of them seemed to return to the same situation. Police were frustrated. Government officials were frustrated. People who used drugs were frustrated.  There was a sense of urgency, and that …Mental Health · AmsterdamRead Article

Ratboys remains content to take its time – Matter News

Photo by Alexa Viscius It can take significant time for songs to gestate in Julia Steiner of Ratboys, who compared the process with planting a seed and then spending months or even years tending to the growing sapling before it can be properly harvested.  “And every so often I run into this issue where it feels like maybe I’ve waited too long, and the moment has passed,” said Steiner, who will join her bandmates in concert at Rumba Cafe on Thurs…Black Earth · Black EarthRead Article

Mythological sisters lead Columbus filmmaker Kah’lil Newton to ‘Grace’ – Matter News

During a visit to the Columbus Museum of Art early last winter, Kah’lil Newton found himself transfixed by Odilon Redon’s painting “The Two Graces,” struck, he said, by a melancholic feeling that emanated from the canvas and which he later connected with Redon’s decision to include just two of the mythological sisters born to Zeus, generally depicted as a trio and representing joy, radiance and fertility. “[The painting] was very beautiful, but …Columbus, Ohio · ColumbusRead Article
