to get to know Karin and Carina. Every six weeks they neatly check every
single Tee for misprints and holes, and folds and package them to be shipped
out to all four corners of the world. But before the package is shipped they
singlehandedly check all 2500 address labels to make sure that they accurate.
Karin and Carina are two cool and lovely women and this is our tribute to
them.” The film will be released this fall. www.t-post.se

documents and databases, his work explores documentary practice as a
historical construct, and more generally the underlying role of aesthetics in
ideology and culture…” exhibition ‘Sean Snyder’ at the ‘Index the Swedish
Contemporary Art Foundation’ from 16 Sept - 25 Oct www.indexfoundation.se

Home’ by the now in America (NY) living British born singer Siji from his new album ‘Adesiji’ (video on YouTube). “My self-titled sophomore album 'ADESIJI',

at my ancestral homeland (Nigeria), where I grew up in as well as the
spiritual side of my roots". www.sijimusic.com
