The first major career survey of work by renowned fiber and textile artist Billie Zangewa.
Published to accompany the exhibition presented by the Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD) in San Francisco, Billie Zangewa: Thread for a Web Begun explores Zangewa’s creation of literal and figurative tapestries of the everyday lives and contemporary intersectional identities of Black women. Through her hand-sewn silk collages, which primarily depict Black women in the domestic sphere, Zangewa reclaims a medium that was once relegated as “women’s work” and delves into the familiarity, beauty, and sociopolitical drivers of the seemingly mundane. Beginning her career in the fashion and advertising industries, Zangewa employs her understanding of textiles to portray personal and universal experiences through domestic interiors, urban landscapes, and portraiture. Through the method of their making and their narrative content, Zangewa’s silk paintings illustrate gendered labor in a sociopolitical context, where the domestic sphere becomes a pretext for a deeper understanding of the construction of identity, questions around gender stereotypes, and racial prejudice.
Edited by Dexter Wimberly, this volume, packaged in a beautiful slipcase, showcases the past 15 years of Zangewa’s work as well as new pieces made for this exhibition, and although many of these decontextualized pieces are autobiographical, all of them portray a sense of intimacy and exploration of identity—connecting the pieces to each other through a larger narrative about Black femininity and tugging on the thread of the viewer’s own lived experience.
In business it is often necessary to apply a mathematical framework
in order to solve everyday problems. This text takes a problem- and
context-driven approach with the mathematics introduced only on a
need-to-know basis. Care is taken not to overwhelm the student with
mathematical techniques but to relate these techniques to specific
business areas. The only exception to this form of presentation
will be in the first two chapters where the elementary basics of
arithmetic and algebra are displayed - albeit here, within
financial and commercial contexts as well.

Double bill of film fantasies. 'Stardust' (2007) is an adventure
based on the bestselling graphic novel by Neil Gaiman and Charles
Vess. When a young man, Tristan (Charlie Cox), tries to win the
heart of his beautiful but cold object of his desire Victoria
(Sienna Miller) by going on a quest to retrieve a fallen star, his
journey takes him to a mysterious and forbidden land beyond the
walls of his village. On his odyssey, Tristan finds the star, which
has transformed into a striking girl called Yvaine (Claire Danes).
However, Tristan is not the only one seeking the star. A king
(Peter O'Toole)'s four sons - not to mention the ghosts of their
three dead brothers - all need the star as they vie for the throne.
Tristan must also overcome the evil witch, Lamia (Michelle
Pfeiffer), who needs the star to make her young again. As Tristan
battles to survive these threats, encountering a pirate named
Captain Shakespeare (Robert De Niro) and a shady trader named Ferdy
the Fence (Ricky Gervais) along the way, his quest changes. He must
now win the heart of the star for himself as he discovers the
meaning of true love. Neil Jordan directs the Irish drama 'Ondine'
(2009). Syracuse (Colin Farrell) is a poor fisherman whose life is
changed forever when he fishes a beautiful live woman (Alicja
Bachleda) out of the sea. His young daughter, Annie (Alison Barry),
is convinced that the mysterious beauty must be a mermaid. Theories
abound about the girl's origins as she transforms the lives of
Syracuse, Annie and the local townsfolk. Stephen Rea and Dervla
Kirwan co-star.
Winner of the Gold Dagger award for best crime novel of the year,
The Wench is Dead is the eighth novel in Colin Dexter's Oxford-set
detective series. That night he dreamed in Technicolor. He saw the
ochre-skinned, scantily clad siren in her black, arrowed stockings.
And in Morse's muddled computer of a mind, that siren took the name
of one Joanna Franks . . . Early in the morning of the 22nd of
June, 1859, the body of Joanna Franks was found floating at
Duke’s Cut along the Oxford Canal- an event which led to the
trial and hanging of two suspected murderers. A hundred and thirty
years later Chief Inspector Morse is bedbound and recovering from a
perforated ulcer at Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital and handed
an old book to read, one which recounts the trial of a murder
aboard the Barbara Bray canal boat: the murder of Joanna Franks.
Investigating the account of the trial, Morse begins to question
whether the two men hanged were truly guilty and sets out to prove
his suspicions from the confines of his hospital bed. . . The Wench
is Dead is followed by the ninth Inspector Morse book, The Jewel
That Was Ours.
