On the cover and to the left: Regarded as one of
the most distinctive image makers working today,
Bulgarian-born artist Luba Lukova has held solo exhibi-
tions at UNESCO in Paris, DDD Gallery in Osaka, La
MaMa in New York, and the Art Institute of Boston. She
is the author of the critically acclaimed Social Justice
poster portfolio containing visual reactions to many
of the pressing issues of our time. The portfolio has
been exhibited widely in the United States and around
the world and was recently included in the permanent
art collection of the World Bank. Lukova’s new book,
Graphic Guts (Clay & Gold), featuring her social-
commentary art, will be published later this year.
