[ART] “Smell my hands, I didn’t touch her genitals.” Attorney and frequent contributor to The Public Florina Altshiler moved to Alaska to become an Assistant DA several years ago in response to staggering statistics concerning sexual assault. She found what everyone finds there: incredible natural beauty. But on the job she found a community beaten down by alcohol, drug abuse, and unemployment. Her scenic photographs, matched with a collection of hopelessly bawdy overheard snippets of speech she encountered professionally, carry the weight of the work’s impact. The show is called Beautiful Story of Ugly Alaska, and it opens on Monday, March 2 at Merge restaurant.
