SWEEPING
TRUTH UNDER THE RUG
Between
the mighty and
the modest, truth is the great leveler.
—Republican Senator
Jeff Flake, Arizona, from his January 15th 2018 defense of truth speech
on the Senate Floor
There is but One God.
His name is Truth; He is the Creator.
He fears none; he is without hate.
He never dies; He is beyond the cycle of births and death.
He is self-illuminated.
He is realized by the kindness of the True Guru.
He was True in the beginning;
He was True when the ages commenced and has ever been True.
He is also True now.
—Guru Nanak
A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth.
—Aesop
As is the tradition of CoLabART projects,
it included the work of two deceased, Cuban-American artists
Felix Gonzales–Torres
and Ana Mendieta,
whose work and life/death
the LA version was dedicated to.
It also included a mixed–media work of the LA-based artist/activist/feminist Merrilyn "Cookie" Duzy
whose visage was a homage to her deceased friend and fellow artist, Norma Jean Squires
