This week on Arizona Illustrated… roll through the battlefields of history at the new Tucson Military Vehicle Museum; channeling your own inner fool with Chris Carlone; the lingering effects of long COVID and those who still suffer from it and how one local non-profit has provided care for the community for over 65 years!
The Sacred Fool
The Sacred Fool is an archetype that has existed for centuries. Often seen as an eccentric with the intended behavior to disrupt, provoke and inspire. Actor, filmmaker, performance artist and musician, Chris Carlone, is no exception, with these archetypal antics central to his artistic practice for over thirty years. Since 2024, his workshops have been inspiring others to channel their own inner fool.
The Long Shadow of COVID
Faced with a frustrating array of over 200 potential symptoms, many individuals endure a slow and challenging path to understanding their condition. Yet, amidst this uncertainty, the scientific community is making promising strides towards illuminating the biological mechanisms of this persistent illness, offering a beacon of hope for those yearning for relief and recovery.
Committed to Community
After 65 years in the community, the Assistance League of Tucson became VIVA PIMA! in May of 2025 but the mission of helping people remains the same despite the name change and its independence from the Assistance League. Programs include VIVA PIMA! SHOP, VIVA PIMA! TEENS and others.
