Today, Ceri is joined by Dr Livia Alexander a Brooklyn based curator, writer and professor of Visual Studies at Montclair State University whose curatorial work bridges continents, disciplines and philosophies. Her work lives at the intersection of contemporary art, film and expanded media with a focus on artists and practices from Southwest Asia and North Africa. She is co-founder of Arte East and has contributed to and supported curatorial programmes for the Museum of Modern Art, Tate Modern, the Brooklyn Museum and the digital screen programme at Moynihan train station in New York. Livia reminds us that visionary work often happens out of sight, slow, durational and deeply relational.  This episode is a master class in curating as care infrastructure and expansive thinking. KEY TAKEAWAYS Livia´s use of diverse mediums and explorative, nuanced approach uncovers the quietly radical and overlooked perspectives. By prioritizing  thoughtful exploration over spectacle, Livia enables us to engage more meaningfully with the world and its challenges. Be true to your values but know when to let go. Have humility, recognise that your perspective is just one of many, and be open to other possibilities. Explore interactive media and gaming, they have great potential and allow audiences to interact with stories in new ways. BEST MOMENTS “We need to create those spaces to have conversations between unusual suspects - between the banker and the artist.” “Creativity isn't just about output. It's about asking better questions, slower ones, ones that resist spectacle and lean into complexity.” “Livia´s work makes space for friction, for paradox, for multiplicity. She invites us to listen across disciplines, across cultures, across power structures, without rushing to resolution.” RESOURCES https://www.livalex.net @liviajalexander PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

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.

The uncanny is an unsettling experience, bringing to light that which has been hidden underneath the surface. Artist Lorraine O'Grady is an agent of this unsettling effect. Throughout her prolific career, Lorraine O'Grady has used her art to challenge boundaries imposed upon Black Artists and to problematize binary thinking. In this week's episode of Tomorrow is the Problem, Host Dr. Donna Honarpisheh sits down with Dr. Stephanie Sparling Williams, the Andrew W. Mellon Curator of American Art at the Brooklyn Museum, and Harry Burke, an art critic and PhD candidate at Yale University, to discuss Lorraine O'Grady's work.Audio excerpts of Lorraine O'Grady from the 2018 Soul of A Nation symposium, an event hosted by the Tate Modern and Crystal Bridges MuseumTomorrow is the Problem is brought to you by the Knight Foundation Art + Research Center and is produced in partnership with FRQNCY Media.

For our 48th episode, we shared time with the brilliant Emily Manwaring—an artist from and living in New York City whose tender, evocative, & multidimensional works on canvas have been shown at galleries and institutions such as Canada, New Image Art, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Venice Biennale. We first came into contact with Emily when we licensed one of her paintings to illustrate our 2023 book about nameplate jewelry and have remained drawn both to her prolific creativity and generous spirit. We spoke about what led her to start making images, the need to stay grounded and purposeful while navigating the fickle pressures of the art industry, and how the poetry of NYC life and heritage emerges in her work. Our intro (“Love is Love”) and outro (“My Ace”) are courtesy of KING VISION ULTRA, 2025.

Jesus Tells Us Do Not Be Afraid: Discipleship in a Challenging World Today's reading is from the Gospel of Matthew, which explores Jesus' call to discipleship, . . . . . . emphasizing that to follow Christ means not only learning from Him but being formed into His likeness. The Homily begins by reflecting on the ritual of kissing the Gospel . . . whether its message is comforting or challenging . . . underscoring that all of God's Word is sacred and to be cherished. The Homily then unpacks Jesus' teaching that a disciple must not expect an easier path than the Master's, preparing listeners for the resistance they may face when living according to Christ's truth in a world that often rejects it. The Homily urges believers not to fear opposition but to value the Gospel deeply and live it fully, recognizing that the Christian journey, though difficult, leads to eternal life. Jesus' presence in the Eucharist is highlighted as a constant source of strength, reminding us that we are never alone. The Homily concludes by encouraging trust in God's guidance, assurance in His care, and boldness in living out the Gospel despite life's trials. Listen more to this meditation Media.

Beth Lipman is an American artist whose sculptural practice generates from the Still Life genre, symbolically representing the splendor and excess of the Anthropocene and the stratigraphic layer humanity will leave on earth. Assemblages of inanimate objects and domestic interiors, inspired by private spaces and public collections, propose portraits of individuals, institutions, and societies.  Through works in glass, wood, metal, photography, and video, Lipman presents a meditation on our relationship to Deep Time, a monumental time scale based on geologic events that minimizes human lives. Each installation is a reimagining of history, created by placing cycles often separated by millenia in proximity, from the ancient botanical to the cultural. The incorporation of prehistoric flora alludes to the impermanence of the present and the persistence of life. The ephemera of the Anthropocene becomes a symbol of fragility as the human species is placed on a continuum where time eradicates hierarchy. Lipman has exhibited her work internationally at such institutions as the Ringling Museum of Art (FL), ICA/MECA (ME), RISD Museum (RI), Milwaukee Art Museum (WI), Gustavsbergs Konsthall(Sweden) and the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum (DC). Her work has been acquired by numerous museums including the North Carolina Museum of Art, Brooklyn Museum of Art (NY), Kemper Museum for Contemporary Art (MO), Smithsonian American Art Museum (DC), Jewish Museum (NY), Norton Museum of Art, (FL), and the Corning Museum of Glass (NY).  Lipman has received numerous awards including a USA Berman Bloch Fellowship, Pollock Krasner Grant, Virginia Groot Foundation Grant, and a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Grant. She has been an Artist in Residence at the Alturas Foundation, the John Michael Kohler Arts Center's Arts/Industry Program, and the Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship. Recent works include Living History, a large-scale site-specific commission for the Wichita Art Museum (KS) that investigates the nature of time and place and Belonging(s), a sculptural response to the life of Abigail Levy Franks for the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art (AR). Lipman's work is on view now in three independent installations including: Hive Mind at Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa; ReGift at the Toledo Museum of Art (TMA), Toledo, Ohio; and the permanent installation One's-Self I Sing at theMuskegon Museum of Art (MMA), Muskegon, Michigan. To celebrate the official unveiling of One's-Self I Sing, the MMA is hosting an Artist Talk and Unveiling Reception this Thursday, July 17 at 7 p.m. The event is open to the public and free to attend. Find out more at www.muskegonartmuseum.org Suspended in the museum's central atrium, the sculpture explores the interconnectedness of time, culture, and nature through materials such as glass, wood, metal and gypsum. Measuring approximately 240 x 120 x 60 inches, One's-Self I Sing functions as an “exploded” still life – an expansive, suspended constellation of objects that invites viewers to reflect on humanity's place within Deep Time and the Anthropocene. Says Lipman: “The marriage of transparent and opaque forms alludes to what is seen and known juxtaposed with what is concealed and lost over time.” The sculpture spans both floors of the museum, encouraging viewers to encounter it from multiple vantage points. Braided suspension cables carry the piece vertically through space, suggesting both ascent and descent, growth and entropy. Lipman incorporates subtle visual references to the Muskegon Museum of Art's permanent collection, binding the sculpture to the museum's history while extending its meaning outward across time. “One's Self I Sing is a showstopping first impression when visitors walk into the museum,” says Kirk Hallman, Executive Director of the Muskegon Museum of Art. “It's a powerful and visually stunning complement to the museum's new Bennett Schmidt Pavilion and a bold reflection of the MMA's ongoing commitment to celebrating women artists.” Enjoy this conversation with Lipman about current installations, artistic motivations and the behind the scenes challenges of creating site-specific work that communicates to viewers.

If I Can Just Touch Him: Resting in the Presence of God Today's Homily reflects on two Scripture passages . . . . . . a vision of Jacob at Bethel and the Gospel story of the raising of the official's daughter and the healing of the woman with the hemorrhage. The Homily begins by exploring the nature of a shrine, emphasizing Jacob's recognition of God's presence and the spiritual importance of resting in a holy place. Jacob's dream of a ladder connecting heaven and earth becomes a symbol of God's grace descending and the soul ascending. In the Catholic tradition, this ladder is often identified with Mary, who brought Christ into the world and continues to be a spiritual bridge between heaven and earth. The Homily then turns to the Gospel, highlighting the deep faith of the Jewish official who believes Jesus can restore his dead daughter, and the desperate yet confident faith of the woman who believes that even touching Jesus' garment can heal her. Their stories emphasize the transformative power of physical contact with the Lord. This culminates in the sacrament of the Eucharist, where the faithful come forward to be physically touched by Christ, receiving healing and grace. All the faithful are urged to rest and make a true thanksgiving after communion, allowing the grace of Christ's touch to fully penetrate their lives. How? Listen more to this Meditation Media. Listen to: If I Can Just Touch Him: Resting in the Presence of God -------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote From The Homily . . . the Lord gives us his blessing. The Lord gives us his goodness, but we never fully receive it. We see it as it comes to us, but so much of life calls us away so quickly. We end up laying it aside or only receiving it partially. Jacob in this reading shows us something different because he rests in this place. -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Woman with an Issue of Blood: French Painter: James Tissot: 1886 This painting resides at The Brooklyn Museum. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Gospel Reading: Matthew 9: 18-26 First Reading: Genesis 28: 10-22

"These spaces are sacred." The Brooklyn trio reflect on 12 years of throwing parties that celebrate New York's queer community of colour. New York nightlife has a truly unique ecosystem. And for the last 12 years, the art collective Papi Juice has been right at the center of it, hosting parties, workshops, artist residencies, performances and exhibitions that affirm and celebrate the lives of queer and trans people of colour. In this RA Exchange recorded during Pride Weekend in Brooklyn, reviews editor Kiana Mickles sits down with the Papi Juice trio—Mohammed, Adam and Oscar—to talk about intersectionality and how they've maintained their principles and political integrity by continuing to put their community first. The DJs and multimedia artists have been active in leading fundraisers for Black trans organisations and archiving queer nightlife in Brooklyn. They recently received an award from the City Council of New York for their contributions to culture and have partnered with institutions like The Brooklyn Museum, MoMA PS1, El Museo del Barrio, Creative Time, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art. In this interview, Mohammed, Adam and Oscar reflect on meeting for the first time, navigating New York's cabaret laws, creating a distinct visual identity, learning to work through internal conflict and differences in taste, and working towards a shared vision across many years.

While you may know the Brooklyn Museum for its wildly popular cutting-edge exhibitions, the borough's premier art institution can actually trace its origins back to a more rustic era -- and to the birth of the city of Brooklyn itself.On July 4, 1825, the growing village laid a cornerstone for its new Brooklyn Apprentices Library, an educational institution to support its young "clerks, journeymen and apprentices." This was a momentous occasion in the history of Brooklyn, a ceremony overseen by the Marquis de Lafayette and observed by a young boy named Walt Whitman.The library was part of a movement -- started a century before by Benjamin Franklin-- to make knowledge readily available within the young country.The Brooklyn Museum's celebratory new exhibition Breaking the Mold: Brooklyn Museum at 200 looks back at its storied origins and eventual growth, encompassing most of the young city's cultural institutions and soon expanding into a monumental new home next to the new Prospect Park, designed by McKim, Mead and White.Abigail Dansiger, the Director of Libraries and Archives, and Meghan Bill, the Coordinator of Provenance, join Greg on this week's show to explain the unusual origins of the Brooklyn Museum and the unique philosophies which inform its exhibitions.PLUS: A couple genuine mysteries lurk within the new exhibition, including a bottle-shaped niche within the cornerstone and an Egyptologist's unencrypted notebook.This episode was edited by Kieran Gannon 

Jesus Tells Us to Remain in My Love: The True Heart of Christian Life The Church tells us of the Council of Jerusalem, the first ecumenical council of the early Church, . . . . . . which addressed a critical theological question: Must Gentile converts follow the Mosaic Law to become Christians? The council affirmed that Christianity is not merely a continuation of Judaism, but something fundamentally new, centered not on the law of Moses but on the person and love of Jesus Christ. The Homily draws a distinction between living under the law and abiding in Christ's love, emphasizing that salvation and unity in the Church come through the love of Christ, not through legalistic adherence to the old covenant. The command to “remain in my love” (spoken by Jesus at the Last Supper) is central to Christian life . . . not just visiting or receiving His love occasionally, but abiding in it continually. The Homily also reflects on the Eucharist as the heart of the Church's life, where believers are not only receivers of Christ's love, but also are received by Christ. Remaining in His love means living out His command to “love one another as I have loved you.” This abiding love is the source of unity, strength, and mission for the Christian community in a world full of distractions and fear. Listen to: Jesus Tells Us to Remain in My Love: The True Heart of Christian Life ---------------------------------------------------- A Quote from the Homily Are we going to remain in the gift that we have been given? Or are we going to leave that gift and live under some lesser thing? The temptation to the lesser thing is real. It's constant. It never goes away. And so, the remaining the abiding, or as the colic says, the persevering becomes important. It is one thing to embrace the faith. It is another, to live the faith. It is one thing to experience the love of Christ. It is another to remain in that love. And so, we gather here where it is wonderful that we can reflect on this and why? Because that love abides present here in the tabernacle. That one who loves us with the self-same love. ---------------------------------------------------- The Lord's Prayer: French Painter: James Tissot: 1886-1896 This painting resides at The Brooklyn Museum. ---------------------------------------------------- Gospel Reading: John 15: 9-11 First Reading: Acts 15: 7-21

When Prospect Park was first opened to the public in the late 1860s, the City of Brooklyn was proud to claim a landmark as beautiful and as peaceful as New York's Central Park. But the superstar landscape designers — Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux — weren't finished.This park came with two grand pleasure drives, wide boulevards that emanated from the north and south ends of the park. Eastern Parkway, the first parkway in the United States, is the home of the Brooklyn Museum and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, its leafy pedestrian malls running through the neighborhood of Crown Heights. But it's Ocean Parkway that is the most unusual today, an almost six-mile stretch which takes drivers, bikers, runners and (at one point) horse riders all the way to Coney Island, at a time when people were just beginning to appreciate the beach's calming and restorative values.Due to its wide, straight surface, Ocean Parkway even became an active speedway for fast horses. When bicycles became all the rage in the late 1880s, they also took to the parkway and avid cyclists eventually got their first bike lane in 1894 — the first in the United States.FEATURING: A tale of two cemeteries — one that was demolished to make way for one parkway, and another which apparently (given its ‘no vacancy' status) thrives next to another.  Get your tickets for the Bowery Boys Evening Cruise of New York Harbor by visiting Like Minds TravelVisit the website for more information about other Bowery Boys episodes

The Apostles' Witness: Our Questions, Christ's Answer This Homily reflects on the deep significance of the apostles' witness . . . . . . not merely as conveyors of Jesus' teachings, but as those who voiced the questions all hearts ask, receiving direct answers from Christ for the benefit of all future believers. It centers around a Gospel reading from the Last Supper where Jesus emphasizes his oneness with the Father, asserting that to know him is to truly know God. Praying “in Jesus' Name” Jesus prepares his apostles for their mission after his resurrection, entrusting them to act and speak in his name. The homily clarifies that praying “in Jesus' name” is not a formula for guaranteed results but a call to be united in faith, to pray in his spirit, and to live in alignment with his will. Only then does prayer truly become effective. The homily also encourages the faithful to embrace the apostolic mission: to be Christ's presence in the world through unity, witness, and authentic prayer.

Episode No. 705 features curators Dalila Scruggs and Catherine Morris, and artist Beatriz Cortez. With Mary Lee Corlett, Scruggs and Morris are the co-curators of "Elizabeth Catlett: A Black Revolutionary Artist" at the National Gallery of Art, Washington. The exhibition surveys Catlett's career across over 150 sculptures, prints, paintings, and drawings. The exhibition is on view through July 6. An exceptional exhibition catalogue, titled Elizabeth Catlett: A Black Revolutionary Artist and All That It Implies was published by the The University of Chicago Press, the NGA and the Brooklyn Museum, which originated the exhibition. It is available from Amazon and Bookshop for $56-60. Catlett was a feminist, activist, and radical who helped join the Black Left in the US to influences from the Mexican Revolution. Her work continued the practice of earlier US artists such as Thomas Cole, Frederic Church, and Carleton Watkins by using cultural production to advance ideas and ideologies. Cortez is featured in "Seeds: Containers of a World to Come" at the Kemper Art Museum, Washington University in St. Louis. The exhibition features work by ten artists whose research-driven practices are informed by inquiry into plant-human-land relations. "Seeds" was curated by Meredith Malone and Svea Braeunert, and remains on view through July 28. The exhibition brochure is available here. "Beatriz Cortez x rafa esparza: Earth and Cosmos" is at the Americas Society, New York through May 17. The show considers the idea of ancient objects traveling across space and time. Cortez's work explores simultaneity, life in different temporalities, and imaginaries of the future. She has been featured in solo exhibitions at Storm King Art Center, New Windsor, NY,; the Williams College Museum of Art; Clockshop, Los Angeles; and more.

Easter III (May 4, 2025)The story seems like comfortable at first:  The disciples go fishing, they eat breakfast with Jesus and then Peter tells Jesus he loves him. (John 21:1-17)But once you start digging, you realize this is a story about the power of shame.  Peter is ashamed of his denial of Jesus and this manifests itself in all sorts of typical shame behaviorAvoidingCovering UpFocusing on self and past mistakesHow then can Peter move forward?  How can we move forward in our shame?It turns out that nice guy Jesus isn't going to cut it.  Instead, we need the son of the living God to redeem us from sin and shame.The painting is by Tissot.  It is on display at the Brooklyn Museum of Art

Judas and Mary (of Bethany): Two Hearts Before the Mystery of Christ The Readings and Homily reflect on the profound spiritual themes leading up to Holy Week, . . . . . . beginning with the “Suffering Servant” songs from the Book of Isaiah. It emphasizes the divine calling and mission of the servant, who acts with God's authority yet reveals God's power through humility and suffering . . . not through miracles or displays of strength. This foreshadowing prepares believers for the mystery of Good Friday, where Jesus . . . God in the flesh . . . embraces suffering to redeem the world. An Act of Love and Devotion The Homily then shifts to the Gospel scene in Bethany, where Mary (of Bethany) anoints Jesus with costly perfume. Her act is one of love, devotion, and prophetic insight into Jesus' coming Passion. Judas objects, claiming the perfume should've been sold to help the poor, but his motives are exposed as self-serving. The Homily warns that words can hide wicked intentions and calls out the tendency to misuse faith for personal gain—something Judas exemplifies. Contrasting Judas with Mary , the Homily encourages believers to adopt Mary's posture of heartfelt reverence and presence with Christ, especially during Holy Week and the Eucharist. The faithful are urged not to be distracted by lesser concerns when Christ is present but to attend to Him with gratitude, love, and worship. Listen to this Meditation Media.

What if, instead of fixating on what's left on your bucket list, you created an “anti-bucket list” of things you no longer need to do? This perspective-shifting idea comes from award-winning filmmaker Skye Bergman, who has gathered 3,000 years of collective wisdom from adults 75+ on how to live well.As milestone birthdays like 70 approach, many of us wonder if we'll have enough time to accomplish everything we desire. Bergman's documentary Lives Well-Lived and book Lives Well-Lived Generations challenge our youth-obsessed culture by showcasing vibrant, purposeful aging. Her research identifies four essential elements of a well-lived life: purpose, community, resilience, and positivity. Purpose evolves, especially after retirement, when professional identity shifts. The key is finding what truly brings joy—whether it's making mozzarella for your daughter's deli or volunteering to teach English. Bergman challenges ageist limitations with inspiring examples like her grandmother, who started working out at 80, and Ernestine Shepard, who became a champion bodybuilder in her 50s after losing loved ones to diabetes. These stories prove that age doesn't define what's possible.Bergman also highlights the power of intergenerational connections in combating isolation. Her monthly potluck dinners, bringing together women from ages 20 to 90, dissolve ageist divides and create a meaningful community.Ready to embrace aging on your own terms? It's time to create your anti-bucket list—letting go of what no longer serves you while embracing purpose, connection, and joy. Listen now to start redefining what's possible.Bio Sky Bergman is an accomplished, award-winning photographer. "Lives Well Lived" is Sky's directorial debut. The film is based upon her book "Lives Well-Lived Generations".Her fine art work is included in permanent collections at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Brooklyn Museum, the Seattle Art Museum, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, and the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (National Library of France) in Paris. Her book, The Naked & The Nude: Images from the Sculpture Series, includes an introduction by Hèléne Pinet, curator of photography at the Rodin Museum in Paris. She has shot book covers for Random House and Farrar, Straus & Giroux, Inc., and magazine spreads that appeared in Smithsonian, Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel, Reader's Digest, and Archaeology Odyssey.Sky Bergman is a Professor of Photography and Video at Cal Poly State University in San Luis Obispo, CA.Websitehttps://www.skybergmanproductions.com/InstagramLinked InFacebookWe hope you have enjoyed this episode.

Robert Earl Sinclair is a Future Architect & Speculative World-Builder striving to make sense of our rapidly changing world and co-create bold futures. Born in "the hood" of Los Angeles and challenged with dyslexia, Robert became a successful international hip-hop recording artist in his teens and went on to graduate from the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts and NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Now, this multicultural, classically trained artist, actor and writer uses storytelling to activate the idea that if something is broken, we can fantasize about what it looks like unbroken, and that exercise, in and of itself, can help us to find our way to a solution. This is speculative world-building. In this pursuit, Robert's dyslexia has become an asset, because dyslexic people experience information as story and possess a much higher retention of facts which allows Robert, a voracious reader, to draw from a vast store of resources and disciplines. Dedicated to beauty, justice and inclusive imagination, Robert designs at the crossroads of art, culture and technology and has created original content and world-building workshops for: NYU, Google Creative Lab, Sundance Film Festival, The Guggenheim, the Rockefeller Foundation, Pop Culture Collaborative, The Doris Duke Foundation and For Freedoms, where he co-created For Freedoms News and its month-long residency at the Brooklyn Museum. Robert is an original member of the Guild of Future Architects' celebrated Futurist Writers Room, a diverse community of visionary artists, intellectuals, engineers and technologists. Working with Dot Connector Studio, Robert is working to shape alternative economic models of sustainability and thrivability for everyone. Most recently, Robert has  lectured at USC's School of Cinematic Arts and the ASU Center for Science and the Imagination. He is currently teaching Emergent Expressions at the Harvard Divinity School.Have a Swan Dive to share?

Consuelo Kanaga was one of the first women to be hired as a staff photojournalist for a major American newspaper. She used her camera to document social issues such as racial injustice, urban poverty, and labor rights, particularly in Black communities. However, the The Brooklyn Museum – which owns the most extensive collection of her photographs – argues her work is still overlooked. A new exhibition, “Consuelo Kanaga: Catch the Spirit,” sheds light on Kanaga's legacy. Co-curators Pauline Vermare and Drew Sawyer discuss the show, on view at the Brooklyn Museum through August 3.

This week, we're going all the way back to ancient Greece. We'll examine the story of Aspasia of Miletus, a woman who came to Athens around 450 BC and quickly became the talk of the town. Her name appears over and over again in writing from the time, Socrates wrote about her, Plato, Plutarch, Cicero the orator, Xenophon the historian, Athenaeus the writer, Aristophanes the comic playwright, Pericles the leader of the city-state of Athens. One woman's name was on all of their minds: Aspasia of Miletus. They loved her. They hated her. They called her a great mind, a teacher, a master of rhetoric. They called a prostitute, a cheap whore, a brothel madam. They gave her credit for writing great speeches passed on to men. They gave her credit for starting great wars, the ruin of Athens. But who was Aspasia really and why was everyone talking about her?

It seems absurd that more than a year ahead of the next Venice Biennale, one of the major pavilions in the Giardini might be empty for next year's event. But that is the dilemma facing Creative Australia, which is responsible for that country's Biennale presentation. Last month, it announced the team comprising the Lebanese-born Sydney-based artist Khaled Sabsabi and the curator Michael Dagostino as its selection for the 2026 event—and then, within days, rescinded the invitation. An almighty row has engulfed the Australian art world to the extent that the pavilion has been thrown into doubt. So what happened? The Art Newspaper's Australian correspondent, Elizabeth Fortescue, tells Ben Luke about the debacle. A controversial auction of AI art concluded this week on Christie's website. It prompted an open letter signed by thousands of artists and creative people asking Christie's to cancel the sale and accusing the auction house of incentivising the “mass theft of human artists' work”. We talk to Louis Jebb, The Art Newspaper's managing editor, who oversees our technology coverage, about the sale and the latest developments in art and AI. And this episode's Work of the Week is Tired (1946), a terracotta sculpture made by the American-Mexican artist Elizabeth Catlett. It is part of the touring exhibition Elizabeth Catlett: A Black Revolutionary Artist, which arrived this week at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, after premiering at the Brooklyn Museum in New York last year. We discuss the sculpture with Catherine Morris, a senior curator at the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum, who co-curated the exhibition, and Lynn Matheny, the National Gallery of Art's deputy head of interpretation and curator of special projects.Elizabeth Catlett: A Black Revolutionary Artist, National Gallery of Art, 9 March-6 July; Art Institute of Chicago, 30 August-4 January 2026.Subscription offer: enjoy 3 issues of The Art Newspaper for just £3/$3/€3—subscribe before 21 March to start your subscription with the April bumper issue including our Visitor Figures 2024 report and an EXPO Chicago special.

Some of the best health strategies are the most simple and basic; unfortunately, it's the simplicity that makes them easy to quickly overlook and undervalue. ​​As much as I love reading the newest books and most up-to-date research to stay on the leading edge of wellness and longevity, I also believe that some of the most treasured information can be obtained from hidden gems from times of yore. Even some of the most prolific research on how light impacts our health originates from the 40s, 50s and 60s, thanks to John Ott (remember those solosodes, long-time listeners?!). Not to mention, some of the most reliable health and medical strategies were produced from our ancestors thousands of years ago via Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic Medicine, to name a couple. The best techniques and approaches inevitably stand the test of time.Enter Charles Atlas, "The World's Most Perfectly Developed Man," who was a veritable biohacker way back in the early 1900s — multiple generations before the term came into use. And don't worry, this episode isn't about bodybuilding or necessarily about perfecting our physique. Rather, Charles Atlas created a program in the 1920s - 1940s that consists of a dozen separate lessons where each lesson goes over various health and wellness strategies; ranging from the mental, to the physical, to diet, to the importance of "building magnetism" and much more. In today's episode, I want to go over those approaches that I felt would be interesting and relevant to you all.Charles Atlas (born Angelo Siciliano; October 30, 1892 – December 24, 1972) was an Italian-American bodybuilder, entrepreneur, and fitness pioneer. He is best known for his mail-order fitness program and for being dubbed “The World's Most Perfectly Developed Man.”  Atlas claimed he was inspired to change his body after seeing statues of Greek and Roman gods at the Brooklyn Museum.  His fitness philosophy emphasized health, strength, and self-confidence. Atlas is considered a pioneer in promoting fitness to the general public and is often credited with sparking the modern fitness culture. He was an advocate for a healthy diet and a clean lifestyle.

Brian celebrates his first rave review on The Blowers, and Judson details his experience of the “Solid Gold” exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum. The two then welcome to the podcast the inimitable JIMBO the Drag Clown, winner of RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars Season 8 and current star of Drag the Musical off-Broadway. JIMBO talks about his journey from behind-the-scenes artisan to realizing his dream of starring in a musical, his family life with his partner and two stepkids, his education as a clown and how it brought him to drag, the support of his mom, and how a sex-themed office party he attended as a child inspired his looks today. JIMBO also expresses the shock of his first time being called ‘Daddy,' his feelings around competing with Pamela Anderson for Madonna's attention, and recounts the story of how he came to be in possession of his prized Madonna memento. He then helps Judson and Brian respond to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who feels lost about how he fits into the gay dating ecosystem.

Read Online“Where was John's baptism from? Was it of heavenly or of human origin?” They discussed this among themselves and said, “If we say ‘Of heavenly origin,' he will say to us, ‘Then why did you not believe him?' But if we say, ‘Of human origin,' we fear the crowd, for they all regard John as a prophet.” So they said to Jesus in reply, “We do not know.” Matthew 21:25–27This is a perfect example of how not to live your life. But, sadly, this is too often an illustration of the way many in authority do live their lives. In this Gospel passage, we see the Pharisees acting as what we may term “religious politicians.” A religious politician is one whose religious convictions are decided in a backwards sort of way. Ideally, we will turn our eyes to Christ and all that He has revealed to us. This will produce the glorious gift of authentic faith, and from that rock foundation of faith, we act. But the Pharisees allowed their “convictions” to be based on what they perceived would produce the best outcome at the moment. They chose to say “We do not know” where John's baptism was from because they thought it was the answer that most safeguarded them from any criticism.As followers of Christ, we need to be ready and willing to suffer any and all ridicule that comes from living our convictions of faith in an open way. Faith will lead to charity, and charity will always be grounded in the truths of faith. But when we live and proclaim the truth, we will be criticized by some and will suffer as a result.This Gospel offers us all an invitation to reflect upon the difficult truths of our day and age and to decide whether or not we are willing to publicly profess the truth. Think, especially, about the many moral truths of our faith that seem to be continually under attack. Are you willing to speak your faith clearly, with charity and with conviction, even if it means criticism from the world? Reflect, today, upon the backwards approach taken by the Pharisees when they were confronted with a difficult question. Make the choice not to follow their example, choosing instead the unwavering convictions that you are called to embrace by your faith. What questions are being asked of you today? In which ways are you being tested by others? What is your approach to those tests? Do you speak more like a “religious politician?” Or do you speak with a clarity flowing from the rock foundation of your faith? My Lord of all truth, give me the grace I need to stand firm on all that You have revealed to me. Give me courage to remain firm in the convictions of faith that have been given to me by You. May I proclaim this faith to all whom I encounter so that I can be an instrument of Your love and mercy to the world. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.
