Kobasa is hoping to do an exhibit of the work of Tom Lewis opening in May 2013

would not only be a display of objects on a gallery wall, but would also
involve events which would return Tom's art to the streets where it was
originally meant to make conscience visible.

display. You can reach him at stephen.kobasa at gmail.com

"One is called to live nonviolently, even if the
change one works for seems impossible. It may or may not be possible to turn
the US around through nonviolent revolution. But one thing favors such an attempt:
the total inability of violence to change anything for the better" -
