{"product_id":"this-elegance","title":"This Elegance","description":"\u003cp\u003eInterweaving the sacred and the erotic, This Elegance engages with visual arts through the concept of sacra conversazione (“sacred conversation”), a style of Renaissance painting that imagines divine communion across time and space. Here, artists, thinkers, and pop icons commune in a similar sacred dialogue—Kathleen Collins, André Leon Talley, Richmond Barthé, Lyle Ashton Harris, Juan de Pareja, Janelle Monáe, Symone, and others appear as guiding spirits and creative kin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a Black, queer person so often dislocated from time and place, pleasure becomes an act of resistance—a grounding in the now. This Elegance is a love song—an offering to Black artistry, a tribute to visionary lives, and a testament to the power of beauty in even our most precarious moments.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Consortium","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48505936904447,"sku":"9781960145949","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0527\/3577\/0820\/files\/9781960145949.jpg?v=1778531789","url":"https:\/\/kindredstorieshtx.com\/products\/this-elegance","provider":"Kindred Stories","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
