Leela Corman: The Blood Road

Guest Artists
Written By Tom Hart

Leela Corman has put out a new amazing piece, BLOOD ROAD, about visiting the Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany. 

"I’m also interested in breaking down – no, destroying – the neat narrative of history," Corman says. "History isn’t neat. History is chaos. We try to make order out of the chaos later on when we are safe but that’s just not how it actually happens."
