SYEUS MOTTEL re-release of book from 1973
CHARAS, The Improbable Dome Builders, by Syeus Mottel
To be published 10/17 – Introduction written by R. Buckminster Fuller.
Includes a new interview with Michael Ben-Eli.
CHARAS, The Improbable Dome Builders documents a community in New York’s Lower East Side in the 1960s, and their desire to build a geodesic dome in a reclaimed vacant lot underneath the Manhattan Bridge. Among the city’s struggling street life and systemic racism, Carlos “Chino” Garcia and Angelo Gonzalez, Jr., two friends that had been involved in gang life from an early age, are at the center of the CHARAS story. Several of the other men who would join CHARAS were also ex gang leaders or members and had been moved in and out of the prison system while watching friends and loved ones succumb to drugs, poverty and violence. Touching on a range of topics still very relevant today, including affordable housing, community autonomy, education and rehabilitation, “This book is dedicated to everything that is.”
First published by Drake Publishers in 1973, The Song Cave is very excited to co-publish this new edition with Pioneer Works.

Photographer Larry Racioppo, whose work is on display in our current exhibition on Prospect Park for the park’s 150th anniversary, shares some memories and photos of the park in this guest post. Racioppo is also working on our Third Avenue blog series with blogger One More Folded Sunset.Prospect Park was a part of my life long before I became a photographer. Glued to the black construction paper pages of Racioppo and Tenga family albums are photos of my parents and their friends posing ‘dressed up’ in the park or just outside it, along its stone walls.
