Kamran Khavarani, Light Wishing.

The activist scholar wrote those words of rejuvenation late in life when he had almost given up on his declared raison d’etre of using art history to enhance the lives of his fellow citizens. He writes, “I’ve watched in horror as the miscreants in the white house and their corporate cronies have tried to undo the many conditions that had initially grounded my sense of destiny and spurred my efforts to make this a decent free and peaceful world.”
