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.

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).

Neste episódio, André Barrocal, Mariana Serafini e Rodrigo Martins comentam os principais acontecimentos da semana e apresentam os destaques da edição semanal de CartaCapital. O clã Bolsonaro age como capanga de Trump, sabota as negociações e suplica por uma convulsão social. Dominada pela Bancada da Bala, a Comissão de Segurança Pública da Câmara vive de moções de aplauso e repúdio. Israel avança na criação de um gueto palestino e continua a usar a fome como arma de guerra.

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 druhom zápase na EURO U21 2025 prehrali naši mladí futbalisti s Talianskom tesne 0:1 a stratili tak všetky šance na postup do štvrťfinále. Hoci výkon mužstva priniesol aj pozitívne momenty, inkasovaný gól zo 7. minúty určil v sobotu večer smerovanie celého stretnutia.V našom podcaste sme privítali bývalého asistenta reprezentačného trénera mužstva do 21 rokov Norberta Hrnčára, ktorý analyzoval, prečo sa nám nepodarilo skórovať napriek dominancii v držaní lopty a počte striel. Čo chýbalo našim mladíkom v poslednej tretine ihriska? Ako hodnotí výkon trénera Jaroslava Kentoša? A prečo sa nám nedarí vychovať kvalitného zakončovateľa?Norbert Hrnčár tiež porovnal súčasnú generáciu mladých hráčov s tou spred 25 rokov a vysvetlil, prečo napriek prítomnosti viacerých legionárov v zahraničných ligách nemáme na turnaji ani bod. Dozviete sa tiež, prečo sa nášmu mužstvu do 21 rokov darí vypredávať štadióny lepšie než seniorskej reprezentácii.Vypočujte si celý rozhovor a dozviete sa, aké šance dáva Norbert Hrnčár našim mladíkom v poslednom zápase proti Rumunsku a ktorí hráči by mohli byť budúcnosťou slovenského futbalu.

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?

Sarah and Simon team up for another week to bring you the latest in the parkrun world. There are roving reports from Lyndell at Highfields, Ruth at Pont y Bala and Heather from Taree parkrun. There's mention of a rodeo, lots of launches, endemic species and let's not forget a tongue twister or few.

The penultimate Matchday in LaLiga proved to to be dramatic and decisive in a ten-game multi-match thriller!Matt Clark (@MattClark_08) and Paco Polit (@pacopolitENG) recap it all and decipher what it all means for the table and the ramifications.Villarreal went to the newly-crowned champions and got the win they needed to secure a coveted return to the Champions League. Barça didn't mind losing this one, as they were in full fiesta mode to receive the title trophy and say farewell to Montjuïc.Betis waved goodbye to their chances with a heavy defeat at Atlético, but their final is the Conference League next week. Julián Álvarez shone once again as compatriot Ángel Correa got a heavenly send-off of his own.Kylian Mbappé kept on scoring as Real Madrid beat nine-man Sevilla. All eyes are firmly on the Xabi Alonso reign now, as the signing of Dean Huijsen was also confirmed this weekend.In the European race, Rayo came from behind to win a massive six-pointer at Balaídos. Celta will be kicking themselves because it was all in their hands to qualify here, but they let their first chance slip. Osasuna beat Espanyol to stay in the hunt too: two teams will make Europe, one will miss out next week.At the bottom, Alavés and Getafe secured their respective statuses with narrow wins, but Espanyol must sweat another week after suffering a fifth consecutive defeat. From what looked like safety has become a shoot-out.Leganés maintained their survival hopes with a win at recently doomed Las Palmas. Both Lega and Espanyol face home games against Segunda-bound sides, so the drama is sure to be cranked up next weekend.Lastly, we salute Imanol Alguacil as he waved goodbye to his public with a win, sadly roo rare for Real Sociedad this season. Fittingly, Mikel Oyarzabal was on the scoresheet from the spot, while a youngster scored the winner. Imanol's tenure and legacy in a neat nutshell.With more to play for, keep up to speed by subscribing at lllonline.substack.com. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Natalie Holloway, founder of Bala, joins us Elizabeth week to share her incredible journey from advertising executive to redefining fitness accessories with one of the most recognizable wellness brands today. After meeting her now husband and co-founder while working at an ad agency, Natalie made a bold decision to step away from corporate life to create something new.

She also shares her favorite Bala products, her go-to wellness rituals as a busy mom, and what it really looks like to evolve personally and professionally while leading with intention. Episodes Here Say Hi To Elizabeth and Purely Elizabeth: Website | InstagramBala: Website | Instagram - Balacize | Instagram - Bala  Mentioned: Fuze House Skinny Confidential Mouth Tape VI02 tape   Votary LMNT Electrolyte
