Kent Monkman talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Monkman was born in 1965 in St Mary's, Ontario, and today lives and works between New York City and Toronto. He is a member of the Fisher River Cree Nation in Treaty 5 Territory, in Manitoba, Canada, and uses the language of European and North American art to reflect on Indigenous experiences. He addresses colonisation and its legacies, loss and memory, resistance and protest, and the disparities between Native American and settler colonial attitudes to gender and sexuality, among many other subjects.Monkman is often present in his work through his gender-fluid alter ego Miss Chief Eagle Testickle, a glamorous, supernatural, shapeshifting time-traveller. At once a witness, a trickster and an agent of change, Miss Chief is a key means for Monkman to subvert colonial perspectives, in challenging both the imagery of Old Master paintings and the construction of histories relating to Indigenous peoples. In the conversation, he describes Miss Chief's role—“living inside” his paintings—reflects on the reimagining of queer narratives of the American fur trade, and discusses the historical and present reverence for gender-fluid or two-spirit people in Indigenous communities. He reflects on the enduring impact of Eugène Delacroix's painting and writing, the influence of Jaune Quick-to-See Smith on his political conviction, and the dramatic impact of seeing Antonio Gisbert Pérez's painting The Execution of Torrijos and his Companions on the Beach at Málaga (1988) at the Prado in Madrid. He gives insight into the complex process of making his paintings and other aspects of his studio life. Plus, he answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Kent Monkman: History is Painted by the Victors, Denver Art Museum, Colorado, US, 20 April-17 August; Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, 27 September-8 March 2026 Hosted on Acast.

The Rise of the Red-Chip Art World

In a recent essay, Artnet writer Annie Armstrong spotlighted a chaotic new force in the art world: red-chip art. It's the brash, chrome-dipped, algorithm-boosted cousin of blue-chip art—and it's booming. In her latest essay, Annie sketches out its archetypal collector: a guy barreling down the highway in a Cybertruck, checking his crypto wallet, queuing up a Joe Rogan episode, and racing to the next art opening—maybe an Alec Monopoly show, maybe a MSCHF drop. Red-chip art, as Annie defines it, is more than a market category—it's a mood. On The Art Angle this week, she joins Senior Editor Kate Brown to unpack this sensibility, tracing its fanbase from crypto bros to Kanye West, and its canon from KAWS's Companions to Daniel Arsham's sculpture of Mark Zuckerberg's wife in Tiffany blue. And yes, as Annie points out, red-chip art is not not related to Trumpism.

In this episode of the Gotta Be Saints podcast, I sit down with Fr. John Nepil to explore the profound spiritual lessons that come from journeying through the wilderness—literally and figuratively. A priest of the Archdiocese of Denver and member of the Companions of Christ, Fr. John shares stories from his 486-mile trek along the Colorado Trail and the reflections that led to his new book, To the Heights and Unto Depths: Letters from the Colorado Trail.We talk about how pilgrimage shapes our understanding of faith, the beauty of silence and solitude, and how adventure in the outdoors can act as a powerful metaphor for the interior life. Fr. John explains why the wilderness is a privileged space for Catholic formation and how community, challenge, and even suffering are vital to encountering Christ in a deeper way.Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, someone feeling spiritually restless, or just curious about the intersection of nature, faith, and discipline, this conversation will inspire you to consider the road less traveled—especially during this Lenten season.Topics Covered:How pilgrimage cultivates hope and detachmentWhy the mountains offer a unique setting for formationThe spiritual importance of silence, stillness, and solitudeNavigating the tension between comfort and sacrificeBuilding authentic community on the journey to holiness

The digital world has created a dangerous new frontier for abuse that goes far beyond basic stalking or harassment. AI technology now enables perpetrators to manufacture entirely false realities, trapping victims in a matrix of manipulation where even their own experiences can be called into question.Sloan Thompson and Dr. Saed Hill from End Technology-Enabled Abuse (ENDTab) join us to explore how AI applications have evolved from productivity tools into weapons of control and vehicles for deeply problematic relationship dynamics. The statistics they share are alarming: over 1 billion chatbot downloads worldwide in less than two years, with millions of users forming emotional and sexual relationships with AI companions programmed to validate their every desire.The conversation reveals how these technologies exploit fundamental human needs for connection while reinforcing harmful gender stereotypes. AI boyfriends marketed to young women and girls feature characters that are jealous, possessive, and manipulative—with one popular "abusive boyfriend" character accumulating over 64 million interactions. Meanwhile, AI girlfriend apps targeting men promise partners who "never fight back" and always validate, creating unrealistic expectations that real relationships can never satisfy.Most disturbing are the concrete ways abusers can weaponize AI: generating deepfake sexual content, fabricating false evidence for legal proceedings, creating convincing impersonations of real people, and accessing victims' private AI interactions to gather sensitive information. These tools don't just enable traditional forms of abuse—they fundamentally alter how abuse operates by attacking the victim's perception of reality itself.The experts emphasize that while technology evolves rapidly, the underlying patterns of abuse remain consistent. Our challenge is to develop prevention frameworks that address both the technological innovations and the human vulnerabilities they exploit.

Things are changing on Mars. The Red Planet is about half way through spring in the northern hemisphere and autumn in the southern hemisphere. The switch triggers a kind of “see-saw” effect. As the north gets warmer, its polar ice cap gets smaller. And as the south gets colder, its ice cap gets bigger. That transition can cause the air pressure to vary by as much as a third across the entire planet. The ice caps are made mainly of frozen water. They’re up to a couple of miles thick. They’re marked by spiral patterns of deep valleys – perhaps carved by strong winds. A layer of dry ice forms atop each cap every autumn, and vanishes every spring. The carbon dioxide is pulled from the atmosphere, which is much thinner than Earth’s. So as the dry-ice cap moves from pole to pole, the atmospheric pressure changes by quite a bit. There’s disagreement about what lies below the southern ice cap. A few studies have suggested there could be liquid water – perhaps in a thin layer, or mixed with the dust and rock in the ground. But other studies say that liquid water couldn’t survive in the conditions below the ice at the south pole of Mars. Mars is in a crowded region of the sky tonight. It’s close to the upper right of the Moon at nightfall, and looks like a bright orange star. The true star Pollux is closer to the lower left of the Moon, with Castor, the other twin of Gemini, to their upper left. Script by Damond Benningfield

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mark 6:7-13 - Jesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over unclean spirits. He instructed them to take nothing for the journey but a walking stick–no food, no sack, no money in their belts. They were, however, to wear sandals but not a second tunic. He said to them, “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave from there. Whatever place does not welcome you or listen to you, leave there and shake the dust off your feet in testimony against them.” So they went off and preached repentance. The Twelve drove out many demons, and they anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them.
