New season, same Bordalás. Join Ben Sully (@SullyBen) & Paco Polit (@pacopolitENG) as they recap all the action from the opening weekend of the 2025/26 LaLiga season, including a Bordalás masterclass at Balaídos. Before we laud the Getafe boss, we start by focusing on Barcelona's eventful away clash against Mallorca, which produced three goals, two red cards and a victory for the defending champions. Hansi Flick's charges are already three points better off than Atlético Madrid, who were left stunned by a late Espanyol turnaround. Real Oviedo's LaLiga return kicked off with a tough away day against Villarreal, which was made all the more difficult by a penalty miss and an early red card. After discussing Getafe's successful outing, we focus on Valencia's score draw against a Real Sociedad side under new management. Elsewhere, newly-promoted Levante conceded late on in a narrow defeat to Alavés, while Paulo Gazzaniga had a night to forget in Girona's loss to Rayo Vallecano.

The show is produced by a collective of media makers, deejays, and activists.   In this two-part series of Oakland Asian Cultural Center's “Let's Talk” podcast Eastside Arts Alliance is featured. Elena Serrano and Susanne Takehara, two of the founders of Eastside Arts Alliance, and staff member Aubrey Pandori will discuss the history that led to the formation of Eastside and their deep work around multi-racial solidarity.   Transcript: Let's Talk podcast episode 9  [00:00:00] Emma: My name is Emma Grover, and I am the program and communications coordinator at the Oakland Asian Cultural Center, known also as OACC. Today we are sharing the ninth episode of our Let's Talk Audio Series. Let's Talk is part of OACC'S Open Ears for Change Initiative, which was established in 2020. With this series, our goals are to address anti-Blackness in the APIA communities, discuss the effects of colorism and racism in a safe space, and highlight Black and Asian solidarity and community efforts specifically in the Oakland Chinatown area. Today's episode is a round table discussion with Elena Serrano, Susanne Takahara, and Aubrey Pandori of Eastside Arts Alliance.  [00:00:53] Aubrey: Hello everybody. This is Aubrey from Eastside Arts Alliance, and I am back here for the second part of our Let's Talk with Suzanne and Elena. We're gonna be talking about what else Eastside is doing right now in the community. The importance of art in activism, and the importance of Black and Asian solidarity in Oakland and beyond.  So I am the community archivist here at Eastside Arts Alliances. I run CARP, which stands for Community Archival Resource Project. It is a project brought on by one of our co-founders, Greg Morozumi. And it is primarily a large chunk of his own collection from over the years, but it is a Third World archive with many artifacts, journals, pens, newspapers from social movements in the Bay Area and beyond, international social movements from the 1960s forward. We do a few different programs through CARP. I sometimes have archival exhibitions. We do public engagement through panels, community archiving days. We collaborate with other community archives like the Bay Area Lesbian Archives and Freedom Archives here in Oakland and the Bay Area. And we are also working on opening up our Greg Morozumi Reading Room in May. So that is an opportunity for people to come in and relax, read books, host reading groups, or discussions with their community. We're also gonna be opening a lending system so people are able to check out books to take home and read. There'll be library cards coming soon for that and other fun things to come.  [00:02:44] So Suzanne, what are you working on at Eastside right now? [00:02:48] Susanne: Well, for the past like eight or nine years I've been working with Jose Ome Navarrete and Debbie Kajiyama of NAKA Dance Theater to produce Live Arts and Resistance (LAIR), which is a Dance Theater Performance series. We've included many artists who, some of them started out here at Eastside and then grew to international fame, such as Dohee Lee, and then Amara Tabor-Smith has graced our stages for several years with House Full of Black Women. This year we're working with Joti Singh on Ghadar Geet: Blood and Ink, a piece she choreographed, and shot in film and it's a multimedia kind of experience. We've worked with Cat Brooks and many emerging other artists who are emerging or from all over, mostly Oakland, but beyond. It's a place where people can just experiment and not worry about a lot of the regulations that bigger theaters have. Using the outside, the inside, the walls, the ceiling sometimes. It's been an exciting experience to work with so many different artists in our space.  [00:04:03] Elena: And I have been trying to just get the word out to as many different folks who can help sustain the organization as possible about the importance of the work we do here. So my main job with Eastside has been raising money. But what we're doing now is looking at cultural centers like Eastside, like Oakland Asian Cultural Center, like the Malonga Casquelord Center, like Black Cultural Zone, like the Fruitvale Plaza and CURJ's work. These really integral cultural hubs. In neighborhoods and how important those spaces are.  [00:04:42] So looking at, you know, what we bring to the table with the archives, which serve the artistic community, the organizing community. There's a big emphasis, and we had mentioned some of this in the first episode around knowing the history and context of how we got here so we can kind of maneuver our way out. And that's where books and movies and posters and artists who have been doing this work for so long before us come into play in the archives and then having it all manifest on the stage through programs like LAIR, where theater artists and dancers and musicians, and it's totally multimedia, and there's so much information like how to keep those types of places going is really critical.  [00:05:28] And especially now when public dollars have mostly been cut, like the City of Oakland hardly gave money to the arts anyway, and they tried to eliminate the entire thing. Then they're coming back with tiny bits of money. But we're trying to take the approach like, please, let's look at where our tax dollars go. What's important in a neighborhood? What has to stay and how can we all work together to make that happen?  [00:05:52] Susanne: And I want to say that our Cultural Center theater is a space that is rented out very affordably to not just artists, but also many organizations that are doing Movement work, such as Palestinian Youth Movement, Bala, Mujeres Unidas Y Activas, QT at Cafe Duo Refugees, United Haiti Action Committee, Freedom Archives, Oakland Sin Fronteras, Center for CPE, and many artists connected groups.  [00:06:22] Aubrey: Yeah, I mean, we do so much more than what's in the theater and Archive too, we do a lot of different youth programs such as Girl Project, Neighborhood Arts, where we do public murals. One of our collective members, Angie and Leslie, worked on Paint the Town this past year. We also have our gallery in between the Cultural Center and Bandung Books, our bookstore, which houses our archive. We are celebrating our 25th anniversary exhibition.  [00:06:54] Susanne: And one of the other exhibits we just wrapped up was Style Messengers, an exhibit of graffiti work from Dime, Spy and Surge, Bay Area artists and Surge is from New York City, kind of illustrating the history of graffiti and social commentary.  [00:07:30] Elena: We are in this studio here recording and this is the studio of our youth music program Beats Flows, and I love we're sitting here with this portrait of Amiri Baraka, who had a lot to say to us all the time. So it's so appropriate that when the young people are in the studio, they have this elder, magician, poet activist looking at him, and then when you look out the window, you see Sister Souljah, Public Enemy, and then a poster we did during, when Black Lives Matter came out, we produced these posters that said Black Power Matters, and we sent them all over the country to different sister cultural centers and I see them pop up somewhere sometimes and people's zooms when they're home all over the country. It's really amazing and it just really shows when you have a bunch of artists and poets and radical imagination, people sitting around, you know, what kind of things come out of it. [00:08:31] Aubrey: I had one of those Black Power Matters posters in my kitchen window when I lived in Chinatown before I worked here, or visited here actually. I don't even know how I acquired it, but it just ended up in my house somehow.  [00:08:45] Elena: That's perfect. I remember when we did, I mean we still do, Malcolm X Jazz Festival and it was a young Chicana student who put the Jazz Festival poster up and she was like, her parents were like, why is Malcolm X? What has that got to do with anything? And she was able to just tell the whole story about Malcolm believing that people, communities of color coming together  is a good thing. It's a powerful thing. And it was amazing how the festival and the youth and the posters can start those kind of conversations.  [00:09:15] Aubrey: Malcolm X has his famous quote that says “Culture is an indispensable weapon in the freedom struggle.” And Elena, we think a lot about Malcolm X and his message here at Eastside about culture, but also about the importance of art. Can we speak more about the importance of art in our activism?  [00:09:35] Elena: Well, that was some of the things we were touching on around radical imagination and the power of the arts. But where I am going again, is around this power of the art spaces, like the power of spaces like this, and to be sure that it's not just a community center, it's a cultural center, which means we invested in sound good, sound good lighting, sprung floors. You know, just like the dignity and respect that the artists and our audiences have, and that those things are expensive but critical. So I feel like that's, it's like to advocate for this type of space where, again, all those groups that we listed off that have come in here and there's countless more. They needed a space to reach constituencies, you know, and how important that is. It's like back in the civil rights organizing the Black church was that kind of space, very important space where those kind of things came together. People still go to church and there's still churches, but there's a space for cultural centers and to have that type of space where artists and activists can come together and be more powerful together.  [00:10:50] Aubrey: I think art is a really powerful way of reaching people. [00:10:54] Elena: You know, we're looking at this just because I, being in the development end, we put together a proposal for the Environmental Protection Agency before Donald (Trump) took it over. We were writing about how important popular education is, so working with an environmental justice organization who has tons of data about how impacted communities like East Oakland and West Oakland are suffering from all of this, lots of science. But what can we, as an arts group, how can we produce a popular education around those things? And you know, how can we say some of those same messages in murals and zines, in short films, in theater productions, you know, but kind of embracing that concept of popular education. So we're, you know, trying to counter some of the disinformation that's being put out there too with some real facts, but in a way that, you know, folks can grasp onto and, and get.  [00:11:53] Aubrey: We recently had a LAIR production called Sky Watchers, and it was a beautiful musical opera from people living in the Tenderloin, and it was very personal. You were able to hear about people's experiences with poverty, homelessness, and addiction in a way that was very powerful. How they were able to express what they were going through and what they've lost, what they've won, everything that has happened in their lives in a very moving way. So I think art, it's, it's also a way for people to tell their stories and we need to be hearing those stories. We don't need to be hearing, I think what a lot of Hollywood is kind of throwing out, which is very white, Eurocentric beauty standards and a lot of other things that doesn't reflect our neighborhood and doesn't reflect our community. So yeah, art is a good way for us to not only tell our stories, but to get the word out there, what we want to see changed.  So our last point that we wanna talk about today is the importance of Black and Asian solidarity in Oakland. How has that been a history in Eastside, Suzanne?  [00:13:09] Susanne: I feel like Eastside is all about Third World solidarity from the very beginning. And Yuri Kochiyama is one of our mentors through Greg Morozumi and she was all about that. So I feel like everything we do brings together Black, Asian and brown folks. [00:13:27] Aubrey: Black and Asian solidarity is especially important here at Eastside Arts Alliance. It is a part of our history. We have our bookstore called Bandung Books for a very specific reason, to give some history there. So the Bandung Conference happened in 1955 in Indonesia, and it was the first large-scale meeting of Asian and African countries. Most of which were newly independent from colonialism. They aimed to promote Afro-Asian cooperation and rejection of colonialism and imperialism in all nations. And it really set the stage for revolutionary solidarity between colonized and oppressed people, letting way for many Third Worlds movements internationally and within the United States.  [00:14:14] Eastside had an exhibition called Bandung to the Bay: Black and Asian Solidarity at Oakland Asian Cultural Center the past two years in 2022 and 2023 for their Lunar New Year and Black History Month celebrations. It highlighted the significance of that conference and also brought to light what was happening in the United States from the 1960s to present time that were creating and building solidarity between Black and Asian communities. The exhibition highlighted a number of pins, posters, and newspapers from the Black Liberation Movement and Asian American movement, as well as the broader Third World movement. The Black Panthers were important points of inspiration in Oakland, in the Bay Area in getting Asian and Pacific Islanders in the diaspora, and in their homelands organized.  [00:15:07] We had the adoption of the Black Panthers 10-point program to help shape revolutionary demands and principles for people's own communities like the Red Guard in San Francisco's Chinatown, IWK in New York's Chinatown and even the Polynesian Panthers in New Zealand. There were so many different organizations that came out of the Black Panther party right here in Oakland. And we honor that by having so many different 10-point programs up in our theater too. We have the Brown Berets, Red Guard Party, Black Panthers, of course, the American Indian Movement as well. So we're always thinking about that kind of organizing and movement building that has been tied here for many decades now.  [00:15:53] Elena: I heard that the term Third World came from the Bandung conference. [00:15:58] Aubrey: Yes, I believe that's true.  [00:16:01] Elena: I wanted to say particularly right now, the need for specifically Black Asian solidarity is just, there's so much misinformation around China coming up now, especially as China takes on a role of a superpower in the world. And it's really up to us to provide some background, some other information, some truth telling, so folks don't become susceptible to that kind of misinformation. And whatever happens when it comes from up high and we hate China, it reflects in Chinatown. And that's the kind of stereotyping that because we have been committed to Third World solidarity and truth telling for so long, that that's where we can step in and really, you know, make a difference, we hope. I think the main point is that we need to really listen to each other, know what folks are going through, know that we have more in common than we have separating us, especially in impacted Black, brown, Asian communities in Oakland. We have a lot to do.  [00:17:07] Aubrey: To keep in contact with Eastside Arts Alliance, you can find us at our website: eastside arts alliance.org, and our Instagrams at Eastside Cultural and at Bandung Books to stay connected with our bookstore and CArP, our archive, please come down to Eastside Arts Alliance and check out our many events coming up in the new year. We are always looking for donations and volunteers and just to meet new friends and family.  [00:17:36] Susanne: And with that, we're gonna go out with Jon Jang's “The Pledge of Black Asian Alliance,” produced in 2018.  [00:18:29] Emma: This was a round table discussion at the Eastside Arts Alliance Cultural Center with staff and guests: Elena, Suzanne and Aubrey.  Let's Talk Audio series is one of OACC'S Open Ears for Change projects and as part of the Stop the Hate Initiative with funds provided by the California Department of Social Services in consultation with the commission of Asian and Pacific Islander American Affairs to administer $110 million allocated over three years to community organizations. These organizations provide direct services to victims of hate and their families and offer prevention and intervention services to tackle hate in our communities. This episode is a production of the Oakland Asian Cultural Center with engineering, editing, and sound design by Thick Skin Media.  [00:19:18] A special thanks to Jon Jang for permission to use his original music. And thank you for listening.  [00:19:32] Music: Life is not what you alone make it. Life is the input of everyone who touched your life and every experience that entered it. We are all part of one another. Don't become too narrow, live fully, meet all kinds of people. You'll learn something from everyone. Follow what you feel in your heart. OACC Podcast [00:00:00] Emma: My name is Emma Grover, and I am the program and communications coordinator at the Oakland Asian Cultural Center, known also as OACC. Today we are sharing the eighth episode of our Let's Talk audio series. Let's talk as part of OACC's Open Ears for Change Initiative, which was established in 2020. With this series, our goals are to address anti-blackness in the APIA communities, discuss the effects of colorism and racism in a safe space, and highlight black and Asian solidarity and community efforts specifically in the Oakland Chinatown area.   [00:00:43] Today's guests are Elena Serrano and Suzanne Takahara, co-founders of Eastside Arts Alliance. Welcome Elena and Suzanne, thank you so much for joining today's episode. And so just to kick things off, wanna hear about how was Eastside Arts Alliance started?   [00:01:01] Susanne: Well, it was really Greg Morozumi who had a longstanding vision of creating a cultural center in East Oakland, raised in Oakland, an organizer in the Bay Area, LA, and then in New York City where he met Yuri Kochiyama, who became a lifelong mentor.   [00:01:17] Greg was planning with one of Yuri's daughters, Ichi Kochiyama to move her family to Oakland and help him open a cultural center here. I met Greg in the early nineties and got to know him during the January, 1993 “No Justice, No Peace” show at Pro Arts in Oakland. The first Bay Graffiti exhibition in the gallery. Greg organized what became a massive anti-police brutality graffiti installation created by the TDDK crew. Graffiti images and messages covered the walls and ceiling complete with police barricades. It was a response to the Rodney King protests. The power of street art busted indoors and blew apart the gallery with political messaging. After that, Greg recruited Mike Dream, Spy, and other TDK writers to help teach the free art classes for youth that Taller Sin Fronteras was running at the time.   [00:02:11] There were four artist groups that came together to start Eastside. Taller Sin Fronteras was an ad hoc group of printmakers and visual artists activists based in the East Bay. Their roots came out of the free community printmaking, actually poster making workshops that artists like Malaquias Montoya and David Bradford organized in Oakland in the early 70s and 80s.   [00:02:34] The Black Dot Collective of poets, writers, musicians, and visual artists started a popup version of the Black Dot Cafe. Marcel Diallo and Leticia Utafalo were instrumental and leaders of this project. 10 12 were young digital artists and activists led by Favianna Rodriguez and Jesus Barraza in Oakland. TDK is an Oakland based graffiti crew that includes Dream, Spie, Krash, Mute, Done Amend, Pak and many others evolving over time and still holding it down.   [00:03:07] Elena: That is a good history there. And I just wanted to say that me coming in and meeting Greg and knowing all those groups and coming into this particular neighborhood, the San Antonio district of Oakland, the third world aspect of who we all were and what communities we were all representing and being in this geographic location where those communities were all residing. So this neighborhood, San Antonio and East Oakland is very third world, Black, Asian, Latinx, indigenous, and it's one of those neighborhoods, like many neighborhoods of color that has been disinvested in for years. But rich, super rich in culture.   [00:03:50] So the idea of a cultural center was…let's draw on where our strengths are and all of those groups, TDKT, Taller Sin Fronters, Black artists, 10 – 12, these were all artists who were also very engaged in what was going on in the neighborhoods. So artists, organizers, activists, and how to use the arts as a way to lift up those stories tell them in different ways. Find some inspiration, ways to get out, ways to build solidarity between the groups, looking at our common struggles, our common victories, and building that strength in numbers.   [00:04:27] Emma: Thank you so much for sharing. Elena and Suzanne, what a rich and beautiful history for Eastside Arts Alliance.   [00:04:34] Were there any specific political and or artistic movements happening at that time that were integral to Eastside's start?   [00:04:41] Elena: You know, one of the movements that we took inspiration from, and this was not happening when Eastside got started, but for real was the Black Panther Party. So much so that the Panthers 10-point program was something that Greg xeroxed and made posters and put 'em up on the wall, showing how the 10-point program for the Panthers influenced that of the Young Lords and the Brown Berets and I Wor Kuen (IWK).   [00:05:07] So once again, it was that Third world solidarity. Looking at these different groups that were working towards similar things, it still hangs these four posters still hang in our cultural, in our theater space to show that we were all working on those same things. So even though we came in at the tail end of those movements, when we started Eastside, it was very much our inspiration and what we strove to still address; all of those points are still relevant right now.   [00:05:36] Susanne: So that was a time of Fight The Power, Kaos One and Public Enemy setting. The tone for public art murals, graphics, posters. So that was kind of the context for which art was being made and protests happened.   [00:05:54] Elena: There was a lot that needed to be done and still needs to be done. You know what? What the other thing we were coming on the tail end of and still having massive repercussions was crack. And crack came into East Oakland really hard, devastated generations, communities, everything, you know, so the arts were a way for some folks to still feel power and feel strong and feel like they have agency in the world, especially hip hop and, spray can, and being out there and having a voice and having a say, it was really important, especially in neighborhoods where things had just been so messed up for so long.   [00:06:31] Emma: I would love to know also what were the community needs Eastside was created to address, you know, in this environment where there's so many community needs, what was Eastside really honing in on at this time?   [00:06:41] Elena: It's interesting telling our story because we end up having to tell so many other stories before us, so things like the, Black Arts movement and the Chicano Arts Movement. Examples of artists like Amiri Baraka, Malaguias Montoya, Sonya Sanchez. Artists who had committed themselves to the struggles of their people and linking those two works. So we always wanted to have that. So the young people that we would have come into the studio and wanna be rappers, you know, it's like, what is your responsibility?   [00:07:15] You have a microphone, you amplify. What are some of the things you're saying? So it was on us. To provide that education and that backstory and where they came from and the footsteps we felt like they were in and that they needed to keep moving it forward. So a big part of the cultural center in the space are the archives and all of that information and history and context.   [00:07:37] Susanne: And we started the Malcolm X Jazz Arts Festival for that same reason coming out of the Bandung Conference. And then the Tri Continental, all of this is solidarity between people's movements.   [00:07:51] Emma: You've already talked about this a little bit, the role of the arts in Eastside's foundation and the work that you're doing, and I'd love to hear also maybe how the role of the arts continues to be important in the work that you're doing today as a cultural center.   [00:08:04] And so my next question to pose to you both is what is the role of the arts at Eastside?   [00:08:10] Elena: So a couple different things. One, I feel like, and I said a little bit of this before, but the arts can transmit messages so much more powerfully than other mediums. So if you see something acted out in a theater production or a song or a painting, you get that information transmitted in a different way.   [00:08:30] Then also this idea of the artists being able to tap into imagination and produce images and visions and dreams of the future. This kind of imagination I just recently read or heard because folks aren't reading anymore or hardly reading that they're losing their imagination. What happens when you cannot even imagine a way out of things?   [00:08:54] And then lastly, I just wanted to quote something that Favianna Rodriguez, one of our founders always says “cultural shift precedes political shift.” So if you're trying to shift things politically on any kind of policy, you know how much money goes to support the police or any of these issues. It's the cultural shift that needs to happen first. And that's where the cultural workers, the artists come in.   [00:09:22] Susanne: And another role of Eastside in supporting the arts to do just that is honoring the artists, providing a space where they can have affordable rehearsal space or space to create, or a place to come safely and just discuss things that's what we hope and have created for the Eastside Cultural Center and now the bookstore and the gallery. A place for them to see themselves and it's all um, LGBTA, BIPOC artists that we serve and honor in our cultural center. To that end, we, in the last, I don't know, 8, 9 years, we've worked with Jose Navarrete and Debbie Kajiyama of Naka Dance Theater to produce live arts and resistance, which gives a stage to emerging and experienced performance artists, mostly dancers, but also poets, writers, theater and actors and musicians.   [00:10:17] Emma: The last question I have for you both today is what is happening in the world that continues to call us to action as artists?   [00:10:27] Elena: Everything, everything is happening, you know, and I know things have always been happening, but it seems really particularly crazy right now on global issues to domestic issues. For a long time, Eastside was um, really focusing in on police stuff and immigration stuff because it was a way to bring Black and brown communities together because they were the same kind of police state force, different ways.   [00:10:54] Now we have it so many different ways, you know, and strategies need to be developed. Radical imagination needs to be deployed. Everyone needs to be on hand. A big part of our success and our strength is organizations that are not artistic organizations but are organizing around particular issues globally, locally come into our space and the artists get that information. The community gets that information. It's shared information, and it gives us all a way, hopefully, to navigate our way out of it.   [00:11:29] Susanne: The Cultural Center provides a venue for political education for our communities and our artists on Palestine, Haiti, Sudan, immigrant rights, prison abolition, police abolition, sex trafficking, and houselessness among other things.   [00:11:46] Elena: I wanted to say too, a big part of what's going on is this idea of public disinvestment. So housing, no such thing as public housing, hardly anymore. Healthcare, education, we're trying to say access to cultural centers. We're calling that the cultural infrastructure of neighborhoods. All of that must be continued to be supported and we can't have everything be privatized and run by corporations. So that idea of these are essential things in a neighborhood, schools, libraries, cultural spaces, and you know, and to make sure cultural spaces gets on those lists.   [00:12:26] Emma: I hear you. And you know, I think every category you brought up, actually just now I can think of one headline or one piece of news recently that is really showing how critically these are being challenged, these basic rights and needs of the community. And so thank you again for the work that you're doing and keeping people informed as well. I think sometimes with all the news, both globally and, and in our more local communities in the Bay Area or in Oakland. It can be so hard to know what actions to take, what tools are available. But again, that's the importance of having space for this type of education, for this type of activism. And so I am so grateful that Eastside exists and is continuing to serve our community in this way.   What is Eastside Arts Alliance up to today? Are there any ways we can support your collective, your organization, what's coming up?   [00:13:18] Elena: Well, this is our 25th anniversary. So the thing that got us really started by demonstrating to the community what a cultural center was, was the Malcolm X Jazz Arts Festival, and that this year will be our 25th anniversary festival happening on May 17th.   [00:13:34] It's always free. It's in San Antonio Park. It's an amazing day of organizing and art and music, multi-generational. It's beautiful. It's a beautiful day. Folks can find out. We have stuff going on every week. Every week at the cultural center on our website through our socials. Our website is Eastside Arts alliance.org, and all the socials are there and there's a lot of information from our archives that you can look up there. There's just just great information on our website, and we also send out a newsletter.   [00:14:07] Emma: Thank you both so much for sharing, and I love you bringing this idea, but I hear a lot of arts and activism organizations using this term radical imagination and how it's so needed for bringing forth the future that we want for ourselves and our future generations.   [00:14:24] And so I just think that's so beautiful that Eastside creates that space, cultivates a space where that radical imagination can take place through the arts, but also through community connections. Thank you so much Elena and Suzanne for joining us today.   [00:14:40] Susanne: Thank you for having us.   [00:15:32] Emma: Let's Talk Audio series is one of OACC'S Open Ears for Change projects and is part of the Stop the Hate Initiative with funds provided by the California Department of Social Services.

Stý briefing jsme otevřeli kauzou poslankyně ANO Margity Balaštíkové. Probrali jsme i spekulace v pražské politice a aktuální předvolební situaci. Zaměřili jsme se na průzkumy, vzestup Motoristů, ospalou kampaň Spolu a možné personální rošády na magistrátu. V zahraniční jsme rozebrali chystané setkání Donalda Trumpa s Vladimirem Putinem, reakce Bruselu a úvahy nad tím, co by příměří na Ukrajině znamenalo pro českou politiku. Na závěr jsme dali větší prostor otázkám patronů od kroužkování přes obranyschopnost až po to, kdo by měl vyzvat Rajchla v televizním duelu.

Filmmaker Bharat Bala joins Cyrus to share jaw-dropping stories from his extraordinary career — from creating the iconic Vande Mataram with A.R. Rahman to walking 2 km through Gaza’s no-man’s land to meet Yasser Arafat. He recalls gifting Nelson Mandela two Kaju Katlis, discussing compassion with the Dalai Lama, and laughing with Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Bala also opens up about the time he declared “Humanity is imprisoned in Tihar Jail” after screening Bicycle Thief for inmates, his father’s moving war photography, and how a self-funded passion led him to work with some of the world’s greatest leaders. Plus, he talks about directing large-scale campaigns like Incredible India, capturing the Kumbh Mela, and flying helicopters over Ladakh’s mountains — all while keeping his love for big ideas alive. It’s an epic journey through art, courage, and creativity. Look for a bittersweet Indian Army Story in the Episode!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nakolik doložené je obvinění, na jehož základě hnutí ANO ukončilo kandidaturu poslankyně Margity Balaštíkové pro letošní volby? Jakou novou techniku nasazuje dopravní policie pro odhalování těch, kdo nevěnují za jízdy přiměřenou pozornost situaci na silnicích? A jaké uvítání čekalo na vojenské letce, kteří se právě před osmdesáti lety vrátili z Británie do Československa a po nástupu komunistů k moci se stali obětí perzekucí?

Jak vyzněla odpolední telekonference evropských představitelů s americkým prezidentem před páteční schůzkou Donalda Trumpa a Vladimira Putina? Nakolik citlivá je pro hnutí ANO kauza poslankyně Balaštíkové, která byla stažena z kandidátky pro říjnové volby. A do jaké míry se změny počasí a teplot v Česku promítly do tuzemské houbařské sezony?

Cinco países, casi tres horas y un conteo de muertos que rompe récords: John Wick está de regreso para cerrar su historia a balazos.

O artista angolano, Binelde Hyrcan, nome incontornável da arte contemporânea angolana, regressa ao centro das atenções com um feito simbólico: a sua video-instalação Cambeck passou a integrar a coleção permanente do Brooklyn Museum, em Nova Iorque. A obra, criada em 2010, quando ainda era estudante, ganha agora nova vida e significado num dos maiores museus do mundo. Em entrevista, o artista revela-nos as raízes, os contextos e as metáforas por trás desta peça feita de areia, palavras e sonhos infantis. “Queria contar um pouco da minha história”, começa por explicar Binelde. “Na altura eram temas não muito positivos, porque muita gente onde eu vivia estava a ser enviada para uma outra zona que é o actual Zango.” Foi neste ambiente de deslocação e incerteza que surgiu Cambeck, uma instalação onde quatro crianças brincam na areia, desenhando com palavras e gestos os contornos de um futuro idealizado. “Peguei nessas crianças, porque são as mais reais. Acho que elas transmitem mesmo a realidade, também a pureza do contexto que estavam a viver”, descreve. O vídeo, apesar de ter mais de uma década, permanece de uma actualidade inquietante. “O tema abordado é a imigração. Muitos de nós africanos temos o sonho de atravessar o Mediterrâneo ou o Atlântico para ir para a América”, conta. “E hoje estamos a viver um parêntese muito triste, ao meu ver, com os imigrantes nos Estados Unidos que são reenviados para os seus países de origem, onde não têm quase nenhuma raiz”. Cambeck surge, assim, como uma denúncia subtil e poética, mas também como um espelho da realidade global. “Os miúdos sonham naquela América… E nós todos já conhecemos como é que está a ser a realidade para essas pessoas que têm sonho”. Ao filmar crianças a conduzirem sonhos numa viatura imaginária desenhada no chão, com areia, Binelde Hyrcan criou uma metáfora sobre desigualdade social. Questionado se a arte pode ser um veículo real de mobilidade ou apenas um espaço de evasão, responde: “A arte é como um colete à prova de bala. Hoje estamos a ver a guerra na Palestina, e pouca gente reage sobre essa situação, também por causa da falta de disseminação cultural. [...] Se amanhã alguém tentar bombardear o Rio de Janeiro, todo o mundo dirá: ‘Não, meu Deus, é o país do Neymar, do samba'. Mas se falarmos da Palestina… é só mais um morto”. Binelde Hyrcan defende a cultura como “colector verbal”, um escudo contra a indiferença e a violência. “Hoje, sei que há um ponto dentro daquele museu onde se diz Angola, onde se vão ver aqueles miúdos a brincarem com um potencial incrível. E vamos talvez descobrir que também nesse país há vida simplesmente”, sublinha. O artista, conhecido por obras provocadoras como As Galinhas Imperiais ou os célebres “tronos de excremento”, mistura o absurdo, a crítica e o humor como estratégias de resistência e esperança. “A ironia é a última coisa a morrer”, acrescentando que acredito "no povo africano, acredito na juventude africana. Lanço o apelo para que nos mantenhamos juntos e solidários, porque é a única forma que temos de fazer algo”. Fazer arte em Angola, admite, é um desafio: “Se não fosse difícil, não teria mesmo poesia. Nasci em tempo de guerra e hoje tenho um olhar diferente perante a sociedade, perante a vida. Vamos tentar tirar aquele lado positivo das derrotas que às vezes temos enquanto crianças.” Além do sucesso internacional com Cambeck , Binelde Hyrcan acaba de inaugurar em Luanda a sua escultura Yellow Dream, uma composição de bidões e balões amarelos que simboliza o sonho e a resistência. “Quando vemos balões no chão é porque a festa acabou. Mas os balões deveriam estar no ar. É como se dissesse: ainda há um problema a resolver. E o sonho continua”. Actualmente a preparar uma grande exposição no Palais des Papes, em Avingnon, para 2026, onde voltará a apresentar Cambeck , o artista angolano antecipa também o lançamento do seu livro sobre a caminhada épica que fez, a pé, entre Lisboa e Paris. “A cultura é uma plataforma onde as pessoas esquecem o mal”, acredita com convicção.

Kolarze jechali przez 21 etapów ze średnią prędkością 43 km/h. To niesamowity wyczyn i niesamowity wysiłek - mówi redaktor portalu naszosie.pl. 

No todos los escudos están hechos de metal. En una vitrina del Imperial War Museum en Londres se exhibe una Biblia con una bala incrustada en sus páginas. Perteneció a William Thomas, un soldado británico durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Mientras servía en el frente occidental, fue alcanzado por una bala enemiga en el pecho. Sin embargo, el proyectil no perforó su cuerpo, sino que se detuvo al impactar el pequeño Nuevo Testamento que llevaba en el bolsillo de su uniforme. Su vida fue preservada, y su familia guardó la Biblia como un símbolo del poder protector de Dios. Décadas después, su nieto la donó al museo como testimonio histórico y espiritual. Este acontecimiento no es simplemente una coincidencia; es una invitación a reflexionar sobre la importancia de llevar la Palabra de Dios no solo cerca del cuerpo, sino del alma. En tiempos de guerra o paz, la Escritura sigue siendo escudo, espada, luz y fundamento. No basta con poseer una Biblia. Es necesario atesorarla, meditarla y permitir que transforme nuestra mente y corazón. Hoy más que nunca, necesitamos una fe que se mantenga firme ante los ataques del enemigo. Eso comienza guardando Su Palabra. La Biblia dice en Salmos 119:11: “En mi corazón he guardado tus dichos, para no pecar contra ti” (RV1960).

En el año 2011, en Ciudad Juárez, una madre perdió a su hijo adolescente en un tiroteo. Podría haberse quedado en la amargura, pero hizo algo extraordinario. Regresó al lugar de la tragedia con flores y comenzó a limpiar la zona. Con la ayuda de vecinos, convirtió ese terreno baldío en un jardín comunitario llamado “El Jardín de la Esperanza”. Niños y adultos colaboraron sembrando, pintando murales y cuidando las plantas. El proyecto fue destacado por medios nacionales y se convirtió en símbolo de transformación urbana. Donde hubo sangre, ahora hay vida. Donde hubo balas, ahora hay belleza. Esta historia recuerda que Dios puede hacer lo mismo en el corazón humano. El dolor que parecía definitivo puede ser el inicio de una nueva obra. Así fue con la cruz: el lugar de muerte se transformó en el epicentro de vida eterna. Quizás llevas una herida profunda. Dios no te pide que la ignores, sino que la entregues. A partir de ella, Él puede sembrar algo nuevo que bendiga a otros. La Biblia dice en Isaías 61:3: “A ordenar que a los afligidos… se les dé gloria en lugar de ceniza” (RV1960).

El Pastor Carlos Stahl aborda el tema sobre la cábala y sobre qué nos dice la Palabra de Dios acerca de este tema.

Guiri al Aire, lunes 21 de julio del 2025

Bilbao, 23 de agosto de 1966. Las monjas que atienden el Sanatorio de Santa Marina descubren que uno de sus pacientes acaba de fallecer. Bajo su almohada hallarán una de sus escasas posesiones: una pitillera de plata con la inscripción "Al mejor extremo izquierdo del mundo de todos los tiempos". Pocos meses antes el cineasta Manolo Summers había tenido la acertada idea de dedicarle un fragmento de su documental ‘Juguetes rotos'. Porque ese hombre de 57 años que murió solo, alcoholizado y arruinado, no era otro que Guillermo Gorostiza, uno de los mejores jugadores de los primeros 50 años del fútbol español. Apodado ‘Bala Roja' por su velocidad en la banda, Gorostiza vivió como jugó: rápido y letal, resbaladizo y juguetón. Ganó ligas con el Athletic y el Valencia, se llevó un Pichichi, fue uno de los debutantes de España en los Mundiales, y se enroló en el Euzkadi republicano para luego hacer la guerra con los sublevados. Genio precoz, mito derruido, trágico epílogo. Y luego, el olvido. Manolo Summers y su ‘Juguetes rotos' trataron de salvar a Gorostiza de la desmemoria. Algo que, mediante la investigación histórica, también promueve Lartaun de Azumendi, periodista y uno de los mejores conocedores del pasado del Athletic Club. En sus manos nos ponemos para recordar a Bala Roja.

Neste sermão, o Pr. Leandro Peixoto aborda Números 22 a 25, destacando como o coração humano facilmente se perde em confusão diante do pecado e da sedução do mundo. A mensagem revela o perigo de seguir o exemplo de Balaão, que por ambição permitiu-se corromper, contrastando com o zelo de Fineias, que agiu firmemente para preservar a santidade do povo de Deus. Uma reflexão sólida à luz das Escrituras e da teologia reformada, mostrando que mesmo em meio às investidas do inimigo, o Senhor protege e cumpre fielmente Suas promessas aos Seus escolhidos, chamando-nos a uma vida de pureza, fidelidade e compromisso com a Palavra.

Jak si zruinovat život 5. - Korupce vždy byla především problémem lidského srdce. Když se chamtivé srdce potká s příležitostí, výsledkem je korupce. Dnešní postavou zruinovaného života je prorok, o kterém není pochyb, že je špatným prorokem. Zruinoval nejen svůj život, ale také svůj odkaz, takže pro apoštola Petra je příkladem samolibého drzouna, který se chová pudově jako nerozumné zvíře, určená k ulovení a na porážku. Kdykoliv mluvíme o korupci, máme za to, že se nás netýká, protože nemáme žádnou politickou funkci, a proto nemáme žádné výhody. Navzdory tomu se toto pokušení týká nás všech. To jediné, co odděluje úroveň naší korupce od jiných zemí, které jsou na tom hůře, není charakter lidí, ale míra postihů, a z nich vyplývající následné návyky. Balaámův příběh cesty ke zkáze je jedním z nejbarvitějších, a nejzajimavějších příkladů zruinovaného života.

V Poslanecké sněmovně má pověst hlavního experta přes kryptoměny – Jiří Havránek, 31letý poslanec ODS. V rozhovoru řešíme, jestli je bitcoin neproduktivní akcie, která má hodnotu jen proto, že jí mnoho lidí věří. Procházíme pozadí zákona o digitálních financích, který poslanec Havránek prosadil ve Sněmovně. Nejsou poslanci v roli těch, kteří vnucují bankám otevírat účty s kryptoměnami, čímž se podobají levici, která prostřednictvím taxonomie stanovuje bankám, koho má a nemá úvěrovat? Co říká aféře exministra spravedlnosti Blažka a co by dělal sám, kdyby se na něj někdo obrátil s darem státu? Neznepokojuje ho, že třetinu světových bitcoinů drží komunistická Severní Korea, která část z toho ukradla? Jak si představuje podporu sportu? A co říká poslanecké iniciativě poslance Balaše, kvůli němuž může český sport už příští rok přijít o stovky milionů korun?
