Deep Inside the Shaman's Den

ABOUT

DEEP INSIDE THE SHAMAN’S DEN offers an illuminating look at the life and times of Frank Moore, the late Berkeley, California-based artist and provocateur who couldn’t speak or walk. Born in 1946 with cerebral palsy, Moore far exceeded societal and familial expectations for a person living with a physical disability.
