Book release celebration for  Sun Ra + Ayé Aton: Space, Interiors and Exteriors, 1972 (Picture Box/Corbett vs. Dempsey)

Includes an introduction by Glenn Ligon and an essay by John Corbett

This once-lost trove of photographs date from 1972, a pivotal year for Sun Ra. Half of the photos in this book are of interior murals made by Ra-colleague and musician Ayé Aton — spectacularly beautiful in their 1970s supersaturated color. From the same period, a cache of never-published photographs taken on location in Oakland for the film Space is the Place, features Ra in full regalia, wearing beautiful Egyptian costumes.
