POPULARITY
We're in between boroughs this week as Alex goes gaga for Miss Lala (as painted be Degas). She wowed the crowds in Paris and London with her phenomenal strongwoman act, on the trapeze, holding herself, and others, with her teeth. Her portrait is still wowing the crowds at the National Gallery. Pop in to pay her a visit and decide for yourselves, what do you see at first glance? Is she jumping? We know more about her performances than her life, but there are moments when we can glimpse her, moving to London, appearing at the Royal Aquarium, getting married. A mixed race pocket rocket gymnast who performed as at Black Venus and one half of Les Deux Papillons. She was last recorded applying for a passport, on the brink, maybe, of a leap across the oceans into the unknown. But we can admire her still, as Degas saw her that night, in white and gold, dazzling the Parisiennes high above the Cirque Fernando. Oh and we go off on a tangent for the benefit of Mr Kite. That makes a change, it's usually Fiona who does the tangents. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Danielle heads to Somerset House in London to speak with Aindrea Emelife, the Nigerian-British curator and art historian. Specialising in modern and contemporary art, with a focus on questions around colonial and decolonial histories in Africa, transnationalism and the politics of representation, her writing includes the book A Brief History of Protest Art, and in 2021, she was appointed to the Mayor of London's Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm. She is currently Curator of Modern and Contemporary at the Museum of West African Art (MOWAA), in Edo State, Nigeria. This summer she has curated an exhibition at Somerset House in London called Black Venus, which brings together the work of 18 Black women and non-binary artists to explore the othering, fetishisation and reclamation of narratives around Black femininity. The exhibition examines the complex narratives of Black womanhood through the influences of three perceived archetypes: the Hottentot Venus, the Sable Venus, and the Jezebel, and reframes stereotypical notions of black womanhood through the work of contemporary artists including Sonia Boyce, Carrie Mae Weems, Amber Pinkerton and Lorna Simpson. Aindrea talks about how she became interested in the history of art, and why she felt this was an important theme to address.

Aindrea Emelife and black women in art. Nigerian-British curator on her Somerset House exhibition Black Venus, addressing colonial history and the representation of black women in art as subject and artist, and her new curatorial role at the Edo Museum of West African Art, opening in Nigeria from 2024. Earlier this year a viral song purporting to feature Drake and The Weeknd was removed from streaming services when it emerged that vocals on the track were not the artists, but were generated by Artificial Intelligence. Songwriters are increasingly concerned that AI could put them out of business, but how worried should they be? The BBC's Will Chalk is joined by two professional songwriters, Aaron Horn and Holly Henderson, to see who can write the most convincing pop hit – the humans or the machines. 20 years since the launch of the first ever podcast, we look back at the highlights of the medium's explosive growth. Tom Sutcliffe is joined by podcast pioneer and host of The Allusionist, Helen Zaltzman, and by Dino Sofos, founder and CEO of audio production company Persephonica.
Quando e come è nata l'idea del Leviathan Verse?È buffo perché l'idea di dare vita ad un universo narrativo nasce durante le lezioni che tenevo alla Scuola Internazionale di Comics agli studenti di sceneggiatura del secondo anno dove, al fine di lavorare sullo “svecchiamento” di alcuni personaggi, in modo che potessero perdurare per più generazioni, facevo scegliere loro da un database dei personaggi di Pubblico Dominio e glieli facevo rimodernizzare come meglio credevano e, su quello, dovevano strutturare una mini serie di 4 o 6 issues americani. *** Iscriviti al Canale ➜ http://bit.ly/Lucadeejay ****** Qui trovi tutto: https://linktr.ee/ilucadeejay ***Iron Ace è quello che più di tutti secondo me ha subito un bel cambiamento, ho voluto dare a questo tipo di storia un'impostazione simile a un racconto magico cavalleresco, citando proprio il ciclo arturiano e la sua mitoglia. Inserendo però il personaggio in un contesto isolato, ma durante i giorni nostri, creando due casate che si danno battaglia da quasi un secolo: Dandrenor (quelli che hanno ereditato l'armatura di Iron Ace) ed i Ravensberg (i cattivissimi nazisti, che vogliono risvegliare una bestia antichissima e portatrice di grandissime sventure). L'armatura di Iron Ace è molto particolare, sceglie da sola il suo portatore e conserva una memoria collettiva di chi l'ha indossata precedentemente, condividendo questa conoscenza col portatore attuale. È un oggetto magico potentissimo che serve proprio a mantenere ordine e, in caso di suo risveglio a fermare la Bestia Errante che i Ravensberg vogliono risvegliare: Glatisant (bestia della mitologia arturiana nata dall'energia corrotta dell'incesto tra Artù e Morgana e portatrice di grande Caos). Purtroppo per noi, quando inizia la nostra serie, l'armatura sembra non voler scegliere nessuno e l'unico diretto erede è un ragazzino di nome Oliver che ha problemi di panico ed ansietà. Black Bat è quello più simile all'originale, Niccolò credo abbia voluto dare un tono molto più noir e drammatico alla storia in uno stile più “Scorsesiano” direi, cercando di mostrare un tassello più suburbano e oscuro, percorrendo con Black Bat proprio quelli che sono i meandri delle metropoli, dove un vigilante può agire quasi più liberamente, tra tossici, piccoli boss criminali e super umani disgraziati. Come dicevo ognuno dei personaggi mostra un tassello e le conseguenze di questo mondo distopico post guerra aliena governato dai super umani. Savitch gioca molto sul suo potere e sull'aspetto investigavito, un po' alla Rorschach di Watchmen, è figlio dell'originale Baron Savitch, un ex super criminale, costruttore di robot, reduce della guerra aliena nella quale ha perso la vita, ma pricipalmente il corpo. Suo padre ha salvato il cervello e lo ha impiantato in uno dei migliori corpi cybernetici mai creati. Savitch non può commettere errori, e questo fa sì che sbagli continuamente ogni qualvolta deve essere più possibile “umano”. Grazie a questo potere Savitch diventa ispettore di polizia a Mosca dove, per il suo aspetto, sarà costretto a fronteggiare costantemente atti di emarginazione e “razzismo”. È il primo che si accorge che qualcosa però non va in questi anni post guerra perché strani movimenti vengono fatti dalla lobby supereroistica per fini al momento ancora misteriosi, fini che stanno iniziando a portare l'umanità su un nuovo baratro di una nuova crisi. Tra tutti i personaggi di pubblico dominio Savitch è il più vecchio, si risale a inizi '900 ed è il personaggio che più mi dava libertà in quanto ho trovato molto poco su di lui, per questo, al di là delle sue abilità e di alcune storie, mi sono preso grande libertà con lui... spero piaccia, perché io l'ho adorato. Quante sono le squadre di autori attualmente al lavoro su queste storie? Al momento, oltre le tre squadre su queste testate, composte da me: Massimo Rosi (su Iron Ace e Savitch), Giacomo Pilato e Mauro Gluma su Iron Ace; Daniel Gonzalez e Manuel Rodriguez su Savitch; abbiamo Niccolò Testi, Gabriele Schiavoni e Lorenzo Palombo su Black Bar.Mentre nei work in progress avremo: Marco Cei e Andrea Arcari su Duke Of Darkness, Massimiliano Grotti su Moon Girl, Roberto di Leo su Black Venus e sempre il sottoscritto con Mauro Vargas per Hellraider. #lucadeejay #leviathanlabs #leviathanverse #blackbat #savitch #ironace

Josephine Baker was a successful entetaininer who redefined what it meant to be a black performer and took on the role of activist during World War II. She had a rough upbringing in Missouri where she was responsible for helping provide for the family by the time she was 8-years-old. Her biological father wasn't in the picture and she didn't have a good relationship with her mother. She ended up getting married VERY young and 4-ish times throughout her life. Once she made it to Paris she dominated the the stage and French critics referred to her as "Black Venus." She joined the French Resistance and was heavily awarded for her efforts. She also received awards in America for fighting against racism, specifically in New York City. Visit TracysDog.com to get your OG Flow and use code "Homance" for 15% off your purchase.

Baudelaire's father, who was thirty years older than his mother, died when the poet was six. Baudelaire was very close with his mother (much of what is known about his later life comes from the letters he wrote her), but was deeply distressed when she married Major Jacques Aupick. In 1833, the family moved to Lyon, where Baudelaire attended a military boarding school. Shortly before graduation, he was kicked out for refusing to give up a note passed to him by a classmate. Baudelaire spent the next two years in Paris's Latin Quarter, pursuing a career as a writer and accumulating debt. It is also believed that he contracted syphilis around this time.In 1841, Baudelaire's parents sent him to India, hoping the experience would help reform his bohemian urges. He left the ship, however, and returned to Paris in 1842. Upon his return, he received a large inheritance, which allowed him to live the life of a Parisian dandy. He developed a love for clothing and spent his days in art galleries and cafés. He also experimented with hashish and opium. Baudelaire also fell in love with Jeanne Duval, who inspired the “Black Venus” section of Les Fleurs du mal. By 1844, he had spent nearly half of his inheritance. His family won a court order that appointed a lawyer to manage Baudelaire's fortune and to pay him a small “allowance” for the rest of his life.To supplement his income, Baudelaire wrote art criticism, essays, and reviews for various journals. His early criticism of contemporary French painters, such as Eugene Delacroix and Gustave Courbet, earned him a reputation as a discriminating, if idiosyncratic, critic. In 1847, he published the autobiographical novella La Fanfarlo. His first publications of poetry also began to appear in journals in the mid-1840s. In 1854 and 1855, he published translations of Edgar Allan Poe, whom he called a “twin soul.“ His translations were widely acclaimed.In 1857, Auguste Poulet-Malassis published the first edition of Les Fleurs du mal. Baudelaire was so concerned with the quality of the printing that he took a room near the press to help supervise the book's production. Six of the poems, which described lesbian love and vampires, were condemned as obscene by the public safety section of the Ministry of the Interior. The ban on these poems was not lifted in France until 1949. In 1861, Baudelaire added thirty-five new poems to the collection. Les Fleurs du mal afforded Baudelaire a degree of notoriety; other writers, including Gustave Flaubert and Victor Hugo, publicly praised the poems. Flaubert wrote to Baudelaire, extolling his artistry: “You have found a way to inject new life into Romanticism. You are unlike anyone else [which is the most important quality].” Unlike earlier Romantics, Baudelaire looked to the urban life of Paris for inspiration. He argued that art must create beauty from even the most depraved or “non-poetic” situations.Les Fleurs du mal, with its explicit sexual content and juxtapositions of urban beauty and decay, only added to Baudelaire's reputation as a poète maudit (cursed poet). Baudelaire enhanced this reputation by flaunting his eccentricities; for instance, he once asked a friend in the middle of a conversation “Wouldn't it be agreeable to take a bath with me?” Due to the abundance of stories about the poet, it is difficult to sort fact from fiction.In the 1860s, Baudelaire continued to write articles and essays on a wide range of subjects and figures. He was also publishing prose poems, which were posthumously collected in 1869 as Petits poèmes en prose (Little Poems in Prose). By calling these non-metrical compositions poems, Baudelaire was the first poet to make a radical break from verse.In 1862, Baudelaire began to suffer nightmares and increasingly bad health. He left Paris for Brussels in 1863 to give a series of lectures, but had several strokes that resulted in partial paralysis. On August 31, 1867, at the age of forty-six, Charles Baudelaire died in Paris. Although doctors at the time didn't mention it, it is likely that syphilis led to terminal illness. His reputation as poet was secure: the Symbolists who led the next major movement in French poetry— Stéphane Mallarmé, Paul Verlaine, and Arthur Rimbaud—claimed him as a predecessor. In the twentieth century, thinkers and artists as diverse as Jean-Paul Sartre, Walter Benjamin, Robert Lowell, and Seamus Heaney, have celebrated his work.From https://poets.org/poet/charles-baudelaire.

Both journalist Charlotte Higgins and playwright David Greig are fascinated by the Roman occupation of Britain. Higgins's book Under Another Sky: Journeys in Roman Britain, an account of her travels to the Roman remains scattered about Britain, is really about how we today relate to Roman Britain. It seems an unlikely subject for a play but Greig has adapted it for the stage and they both talk to Samira Ahmed about the project. Did the Romans bring civilisation to these islands? Were they violent imperialists? Did British history really begin once they had left? And what of the society that was here already when the Romans arrived? Front Row celebrates the life of author and illustrator Raymond Briggs who has died aged 88. He became famous for his books The Snowman, Father Christmas, Fungus The Bogeyman and his parable of nuclear war When The Wind Blows – all of which were also made into films or TV programmes. American documentary maker Immy Humes has spent the last five years mining the archives for photographs of lone women in majority male environments, from 1862 to the present day, for her book The Only Woman. And British art historian Aindrea Emelife has also been mining the archives, searching for images of black women from 1793 to the present, for her exhibition Black Venus at the Fotografiska Gallery in New York. They join Samira to discuss issues of representation, tokenism and the female gaze in visual culture, past and present. BAFTA-winning writer and director Stefan Golaszewski talks to Samira about his upcoming BBC One Drama, Marriage, starring Sean Bean and Nicola Walker as a couple navigating the ups and downs of a 30-year relationship.

Jeanne DuVal was the beautiful muse of Charles Baudelaire and would inspire his glowing devotion. The Black Venus and Mistress of Mistresses as he called her is mostly unknown still to this day. Much of the details of her life are murky due to a fire that would destroy her vital documents. Jeanne was tall and beautiful and her striking looks got her a role on the stage. Performing at the Théâtre de la Porte Sainte Antoine, although she wasn't the best actor. A girl has to eat, so she became a prostitute for a short period. Nadar, the French photographer saw her on the stage and the two began an affair that lasted a year. It was through Nadar that Jeanne and Baudelaire would meet, but their love affair didn't start right away. One night in Montmartre Baudelaire came across Jeanne being harassed by a group of drunks and stepped in to save her. After that, the two began their 20-year tumultuous relationship. Baudelaire was already working on Fleur de Mal when the two began. Jeanne would inspire the flowery devotions of love and when things were bad would also inspire the hate-filled pieces. Fleur de Mal covered everything from the transformation of Paris, which he was highly against, lesbianism, eroticism, and love. Many people loved it but just as many hated it. Baudelaire and his printer were prosecuted for “attack on public morals”. Living all over Paris, including the Hotel Lauzun on the Ile de la Cite and he rented a place for Jeanne just down the island on Rue le Regrattier. When they went through rough patches it wouldn't last long. He would be at her apartment giving her money and spending time together much to his mother's chagrin. Baudelaire's close friend Edouard Manet painted a portrait of Jeanne after seeing her only once. The “Mistress of Baudelaire” 1862 captures Jeanne seated on a couch with her legs up and enveloped in a large white skirt. Her arm over the back of the couch and her feet are placed in a strange way due to her paralysis, which many may never notice as the skirt shields most of her. Shortly after Jeanne would die.

Inspiré de faits réels, le film de Yoon Jong-bin revient sur l’histoire d’un agent infiltré sud-coréen, « Black Venus », chargé d’enquêter sur le programme nucléaire de la Corée du Nord au début des années 1990. Raconté à la première personne, ce thriller type guerre froide joue subtilement la carte du suspens. Peut-il gagner la confiance du Parti ? Va-t-il se faire démasquer ? De la rencontre avec Kim Jong-il à l’amitié entre le héros et un général nord-coréen, The Spy Gone North arrive à tenir sur la longueur tout en représentant de manière très crue la douleur du peuple nord-coréen. Un film sur l’espoir d’une réunification entre les deux peuples, mais pas de leurs deux leaders.Animé par Thomas Rozec avec Stéphane Moïssakis.CRÉDITS Enregistré le 26 octobre 2018 à l’Antenne (Paris 11eme).

The Revenant: The James Brown Cut Silence! It's a bad idea for podcasts, but as the BFI are reminding us with their re-release of GW Pabst's pre-talkie classic "Pandora's Box", it's a good idea for movies. So how will this icon of silent cinema (and the decades-old inspiration for the hairstyles of people going to 1920s-themed costume parties), fare with modern film fans? Off the Shelf also has another classic from BFI as Aidan jogs along with their reissue of Tony Richardson's "The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner", which goes to to toe with Rob's coverage of Abdelletif Kechiche's forgotten film "Black Venus" - which is available from Arrow Academy. So it's a show full of archive rediscoveries, but the real comeback has been saved for the end ... Silent Cinema is a challenge but one that we will happily rise to. To help us laugh in the face of other podcasting challenges head over to our PATREON and send us some pennies. We would appreciate it and it is also the best way to support us and help us continue this podcasting lark long into the future.

THE WINTER GUEST is her latest book, the story of twin sisters fighting for survival in Nazi occupied Poland and the mysterious American pilot that lands on their doorstep. London born James MacManus was educated at Westminster School and graduated from St. Andrews University. He has worked for the Daily Express and the Guardian first as a reporter and then as a foreign correspondent. He moved to The Times where he serves as Managing Director of the Times Literary Supplement. He is the author of several novels including BLACK VENUS and OCEAN DEVIL made into a film starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers. His latest book SLEEP IN PEACE TONIGHT takes place in 1941 London, and brings to life the tale of Harry Hopkins, the adviser to Franklin D. Roosevelt dispatched to London on the eve of the Second World War and the history-making relationship he forms with Britain's Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
