'A vision of the world that can be': 10 Bay Area artists on the presidential changeover from Trump to Biden

Current projects: “The Lost Art of Dreaming,” including “The Dictionary of Joy and Pleasure” (micro-commissions to 10 artists seeking a source of pleasure for every letter of the alphabet); “Video Postcard” series
“Our most recent project, ‘Boys in Trouble,’ did sharpen focus and shift direction upon the election of the last administration. The emboldening of white supremacy and specifically proudly anti-trans, transphobic values and strategic planning by the administration meant that I really wanted our project to stand up and speak back to that.
“(‘The Lost Art of Dreaming’) also is informed by living through this last administration. We had very little time to dream or imagine or feel joy or pleasure.

The Mystery of the Crystal Skulls

This example is in the British Museum.
Crystal human skulls with alleged mystical powers began turning up in Central America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They were thought to be artifacts from Aztec and Mayan cultures. A number of museums and wealthy individual collectors wanted to get their hands on them.
Where Did the Skulls Come from?
Some of the skulls were life-sized, while others were miniatures; all elicited excitement from the archaeological community. Some suggested they came from cultures that moved into Central America from the lost city of Atlantis. There was a body of opinion that said they were left behind by aliens who had visited Earth long before recorded history. ....
