Description

An exploration of the playful and disruptive side of the human imagination as embodied in trickster mythology examines the stories of Coyote, Eshu, Hermes, and other trickster figures, comparing them with the life and work of modern creators such as Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, John Cage, Allen Ginsberg, Maxine Hong Kingston, Frederick Douglass, and others.
