The news is out. The Los Angeles Archdiocese has sold the building that Self-Help Graphics has called home since 1978. People are angry and upset, as they should be. All of the artists who have passed through their doors, all of the work made there, the community created there: it seems lost or at least dangerously close to being so. But is it? Can this anger be fueled into Self Helps recreation, to help re-generate its vitality? To make it like a phoenix and rise from this terrible situation into something more glorious than before? That's my hope.
