Carol Sullivan's Art Exhibit at ACP&J till July 31 Carol Sullivan has been an activist for human rights for almost half a century. This art exhibit is a series of pastels, photos, and sketches on pieces of cardboard and card stock that reflect a few of her memories of past events and people. Sullivan's pieces of art are based on her experiences in the Amazon Basin with urban Indians, on the American Indian Movement take-over at Wounded Knee, on doing AIDS work with transvestite prostitutes in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, on protesting a house demolition in Palestine with Solidarity, and on other such activities. Sullivan chose cardboard because it is cheap, and it tells the viewer that these memories, like all our cherished moments, will fade in time and crumble in the rain.
