Back Seat Driving in Motorcycle City is a short tribute to  Jacmel, tourist and cultural destination in Haiti, where everyone, it seems, has a motorcyle.  The music is by Richard Morse and his band RAM.  The lyrics are clearly wise admonitions about "back seat driving" and learning from history.  The refrain is a call and prayer to Dambala, the name for the Voudoun "God in the Sky", creator of the heavens and earth.

Shalom Gorewitz is a trailblazer in the field of video art, a medium he has explored since its inception in the 1960s.  As one of the early practitioners of this evolving art form, Gorewitz has used video as a tool to merge personal introspection with sociopolitical commentary.  His work is characterized by a unique combination of experimental techniques, thematic depth, and a painterly approach to video that challenges conventional storytelling.
