Hello       Welcome back  This is survived with Sophie and Lexi We started telling our survived story (in college) and we are moving on to being you guys more Through many different topics  Gris Gris Box  Gris‐ Gris Box is one of Saar’s so-called ancestral boxes, an assemblage grounded in African American ritual tradition. At its heart sits a doll evoking an African American woman, encircled by ceremonial objects— feathers, beads and small spheres that stand in for the planets. Strands of hair dangle beneath the box’s base, a nod to hoodoo and other healing customs. Along the top rim three carved eyes appear, recalling the “ third eye” of inner vision in many spiritual systems. Its title points directly to African American ritual practice and the ways memory, lineage and spirituality inform artistic creation.

Hello       Welcome back  This is survived with Sophie and Lexi We started telling our survived story (in college) and we are moving on to being you guys more Through many different topics Countess Elizabeth Báthory of Ecsed (Hungarian: Báthori Erzsébet; Slovak: Alžbeta Bátoriová; 7 August 1560 – 21 August 1614) was a Hungarian noblewoman from the powerful House of Báthory who held extensive estates in the Kingdom of Hungary (modern-day Slovakia). Between roughly 1590 and 1610 she and four of her servants were accused of torturing and killing hundreds of girls and young women. Ultimately, Bathory and her servants faced eighty counts of murder. While her servants were executed after conviction, Elizabeth herself was confined to Csejte Castle (now Čachtice, Slovakia), where she remained imprisoned until her death in 1614.
