A man is anxious to free himself from a prison, and yet he strengthens the bars. Will he escape?
—Idries Shah, The Commanding Self

S T A I R C A G E is a literary/visual archive of 21st century urban Chicana/o
glyphs and difrasismos—photos, visual images, written texts, and
other traces of ephemeral bodily gestures and performances in
the milieu of East Los Angeles, Aztlan, and beyond.
