Podcasts about Guernica

today's show marks the 21st anniversary of what came to be known as “Malice At The Palace”, the (in)direct inspiration for Wizznuttz' amazing reinterpretation of Picasso's “Guernica”, aka “Aubernica”. For all the seismic changes the incident brought about in spheres of professional sports and crowd control, it is deeply regrettable “Aubernica” does not occupy space in a public gallery (aside from, well, this post), but we live in different times.  If I want to watch the clip of Jermaine O'Neal hitting some random schmoe into the next stratosphere, I cannot do so without getting a sponsored ad for a megachurch.   I'd have loved to really dive into all of this on this week's program but a) EVR only gives me two hours, and b) I didn't check the calendar until after taping.  SO SORRY. 

“Españoles, Franco ha muerto”: el 20 de noviembre de 1975, el entonces presidente del Gobierno, Carlos Arias Navarro, anunciaba en la televisión la muerte del dictador español Francisco Franco. España inició entonces un difícil camino para recuperar la democracia, un camino que para parte de la población aún está incompleto. Reportaje desde Madrid. La plaza de la Puerta del Sol es la más céntrica de Madrid, también de España, porque allí se sitúa el kilómetro cero de todas las carreteras del país. Justo en la entrada de la Real Casa de Correos, el edificio que sobresale con su reloj en este bullicioso enclave comercial y turístico. En frente de la Real Casa de Correos, siempre hay visitantes extranjeros con guías que narran en varios idiomas la historia del edificio construido en el siglo 18. Pero casi ninguno cuenta que hasta hace pocas décadas, el edificio era la sede de la Dirección General de Seguridad, donde se torturaba a opositores a la dictadura de Francisco Franco. “Amenazarte continuamente” Entre ellos estaban Rosa García Alcón y Julio Pacheco. “Los calabozos eran muy pequeños”, cuenta Rosa. “Yo me acuerdo de una celda muy oscura, una celda muy pequeña”, prosigue Julio, a lo que Rosa añade: “Nos daban una manta que estaba asquerosísima. Por cierto, la manta era una cosa espantosa”.   Aquello ocurrió en el verano de 1975, hace 50 años, cuando Julio y Rosa eran unos jovencísimos estudiantes y fueron detenidos por su implicación en una organización universitaria que luchaba por la democracia. “Amenazas constantes, torturas…”, recuerda Julio. “Pues eso, amenazarte continuamente. O te vamos a tirar por la ventana, o te vamos a tirar por las escaleras. Yo decía bueno, pues tiradme porque así se acaba esto. O sea que al final acabas deseando morirte. Primero acabas deseando perder el conocimiento, pero no lo pierdes. Y luego dices bueno, pues mira, así se termina esta tortura”, detalla Rosa. Uno de los pocos que en la Puerta del Sol recuerda que allí se torturaba a gente durante la dictadura es el periodista y sociólogo Emilio Silva, que recorre el centro de Madrid con un grupo de jóvenes, la mayoría estadounidenses de la Universidad de Nueva York. Rescatar la memoria Frente a la Real Casa de Correos, les explica en inglés que en España existe la tradición de recibir el nuevo año comiendo uvas frente al televisor, al compás que marcan las campanas del reloj del edificio de la Puerta del Sol. Durante unos años esa fiesta se producía mientras en los sótanos había gente golpeada y privada de libertad, algo que ha marcado a Emilio Silva: “Debajo de ese reloj donde estábamos todos emocionados mirando, pidiéndole deseos al Año Nuevo, y había gente torturada unos metros más abajo. Esa imagen de esa España que esconde, que está aquí celebrando un año nuevo, pero a la vez era un año viejo, ¿no? Porque era un año con dictadura, con represión”, dice. Silva preside la Asociación para la Recuperación de la Memoria Histórica (ARMH), una organización que en los últimos 25 años ha logrado rescatar los cuerpos de 1.700 hombres y mujeres asesinados por la dictadura de Franco y enterrados en fosas comunes donde pasaron décadas en el olvido, entre ellos su abuelo, Emilio Silva Fava. “Mi abuelo era un hombre de El Bierzo, una comarca en el noreste de España. Había sido emigrante en Argentina y Estados Unidos, y cuando se proclamó la República empezó a militar en un partido que se llamaba Izquierda Republicana. Hoy pensaríamos que era un partido moderado. Era un hombre bastante culto que alguna vez se enfrentó en un periódico local a un aristócrata, de allí que escribía artículos burlándose de las personas que pedían la igualdad”, cuenta. Cuando ocurrió “el golpe de Estado, su pueblo cayó muy rápido en manos de los golpistas. Le empezaron a sacar dinero y un día lo detuvieron en el ayuntamiento y a la mañana siguiente ya no estaba allí. Lo asesinaron con otras 13 personas a 33 kilómetros, y estuvo 64 años desaparecido en una fosa común, hasta que yo en el año 2000 di con ese lugar y conseguí que se exhumara la fosa, que él fuera identificado genéticamente y que se enterraran sus restos con los de mi abuela, que había muerto tres años antes de la exhumación”. “Creo que hay mucho olvido” Las rutas guiadas que ofrece Emilio Silva a estudiantes descubren rincones de Madrid en los que sobrevive simbología de la dictadura, y señalan también lugares en los que el ejército de Franco, con el apoyo de la aviación alemana de Adolf Hitler, bombardeaba a la población civil durante la guerra que lo llevó a convertirse en caudillo de España. “Era muy interesante porque para mí, antes de llegar a España, ni sabía quién era Franco, nunca escuché su nombre. Pero yo creo que se debe a mi ignorancia”, cuenta un joven extranjero. Junto a los estadounidenses hay una joven española, Ainara, que estudia periodismo en una universidad pública madrileña en la que echa en falta este tipo de ejercicios de memoria democrática: “Yo creo que hay mucho silencio, mucho olvido. No se quiere hablar de la realidad. Y yo, por ejemplo, en toda mi formación académica he tenido obviamente la formación de lo que fue la dictadura, pero desde muy por encima y siendo más un contexto histórico, sin explicarte bien en profundidad lo que sucedió”, lamenta. Ainara cree que ese silencio y olvido sobre la historia reciente de España contribuye al auge de los postulados ultraderechistas en jóvenes de su generación: “Yo creo que todos los ideales de la ultraderecha están calando un montón en nuestras edades, y yo cada vez noto más auge”. Actualmente en España, el 20% de la población siente nostalgia por los viejos himnos del pasado. También los jóvenes: uno de cada cinco de los nacidos en democracia, una generación que no vivió la dictadura, valora positivamente los casi 40 años del régimen de Francisco Franco. Represión “implacable” en la guerra y posguerra “Franco ha sido una figura fundamental en la historia de España porque dirigió la dictadura más larga, más sanguinaria y más terrible en todos los aspectos que nos podamos imaginar en España”, analiza Ainhoa Campos, doctora en Historia, especializada en la Guerra Civil española y en el franquismo. “Franco formaba parte de un grupo de generales que dieron un golpe de Estado en julio de 1936 para acabar con el régimen de la República (un régimen democrático que se había instaurado en 1931) y tuvo la habilidad y la suerte de conseguir colocarse como el único que podía acceder al poder absoluto de ese grupo de generales”, explica. Franco ganó la guerra con la ayuda de las tropas italianas de Mussolini y de la aviación nazi, responsable de matanzas de población civil y desarmada, como la que el pintor Pablo Picasso retrató en su obra Guernica. No fue suficiente para Franco, que después de la guerra siguió ejecutando durante años a decenas de miles de españoles. “La represión después de la guerra, la que protagonizó la dictadura de Franco, fue absolutamente implacable con el enemigo. Él quería aplastar cualquier intento de ponerle coto a su poder o de poner en cuestión el régimen que él había construido. Entonces, ya durante la guerra, todos aquellos que hubieran estado relacionados con la República, con algunos de los elementos más característicos de la República, como la educación, por ejemplo, los maestros, fueron implacablemente perseguidos, detenidos, forzados al exilio interior o asesinados, ejecutados”, prosigue Campos. “Las cifras son desoladoras. Casi medio millón de personas tuvieron que irse al exilio. También se calcula que casi medio millón de personas fueron encarceladas al final de la guerra, y se calcula que entre 140 y 150.000 personas fueron ejecutadas en esta represión que tuvo lugar en la posguerra”, recalca. La muerte de Franco, “una gran alegría” La España franquista no participó en la Segunda Guerra Mundial y quedó aislada internacionalmente tras la derrota de la Alemania de Hitler y la Italia de Mussolini, que le ayudaron a acabar con la democracia en España. Aunque años después, en el contexto de la Guerra Fría, el dictador español se convirtió en un aliado estratégico de Estados Unidos frente a la Unión Soviética. Con el apoyo de la gran potencia, Franco pudo prolongar su régimen hasta el mismo día de su muerte, el 20 de noviembre de 1975. “Yo me enteré por una gran algarabía que hubo en el patio de los presos sociales, a los presos comunes los hacían formar para el recuento en un patio que estaba aledaño a nuestras celdas. Y entonces al cerrar la formación, hubo un griterío y en ese momento supimos que Franco había muerto. Como te puedes suponer, fue una gran alegría para para todos”, recuerda Pablo Mayoral. Mayoral estaba en la cárcel ese día porque el dictador murió matando. Dos meses antes, autorizó el fusilamiento de cinco militantes antifranquistas de organizaciones que habían emprendido la lucha armada contra el régimen. Dos pertenecían a ETA, organización separatista vasca, y tres al Frente Revolucionario Antifascista y Patriota (FRAP), en el que participaba Mayoral, que fue juzgado en un consejo de guerra en septiembre de 1975, junto a sus compañeros. “Cuando el abogado te dice que te piden la pena de muerte, se te viene el mundo encima, aunque estás preparado y sabes que puede pasar”, cuenta. Pablo Mayoral esquivó la pena de muerte y fue condenado a 30 años de prisión, no así tres de sus compañeros del FRAP. Paca Sauquillo es una de las abogadas que intentaron salvar la vida de los procesados: “Sabíamos que les podían pedir pena de muerte y yo, contra la pena de muerte, podían acusarme de terrorista o acusarme de lo que quisieran o meterme en la cárcel. Pero había que luchar contra la pena de muerte”, explica. Sauquillo consiguió evitar el fusilamiento de una de las procesadas por estar embarazada, en un juicio militar repleto de irregularidades: “No nos dejaron hacer nada porque desde que los cogieron hasta que les ejecutaron, no pasó ni un mes, y no pudimos ni estudiar el sumario ni verlo porque no pudimos aportar pruebas. Fue increíble”, afirma. Una ley de amnistía dolorosa Pablo Mayoral no pudo salir de prisión hasta finales de 1977, cuando España avanzaba hacia la democracia y se promulgó una ley de amnistía que borraba todos los delitos de los presos antifranquistas, pero también los crímenes de la dictadura. Para algunos fue un necesario gesto de reconciliación, para otros un pacto de silencio que consagraba la impunidad, equiparando a víctimas y victimarios. Para Emilio Silva, presidente de la ARMH, “el verdadero problema ya no es solo la impunidad jurídica. No es que no podamos ver un juicio a estos crímenes, sino que el hábito de la impunidad se ha convertido en una cultura política, y está por muchos sitios corrompiendo nuestra democracia y debilitándola. Y eso es muy grave, porque si uno ha amnistiado los mayores crímenes que se pueden cometer contra miles de seres humanos, pues hay muchas cosas que están por debajo de eso y que han vivido también alejadas de los juzgados”. En 2023, Julio Pacheco se convirtió en el primer español que pudo contar en un juzgado de su país las torturas a las que lo sometieron los policías franquistas: “Fue una alegría enorme. Fue la primera vez que unos querellantes o unos torturados -no nos gusta decir víctimas- del franquismo pudimos declarar ante una sede judicial: ‘Yo fui torturado por esta persona, ahí está'”, dice. La querella por torturas que presentó Julio Pacheco aprovechó una rendija abierta por la Ley de Memoria Democrática de 2022, que permite investigar delitos contra los derechos humanos cometidos durante la dictadura franquista, al menos en teoría, porque un año después la Justicia archivó la causa. Julio Pacheco ha recurrido y no pierde la esperanza de conseguir romper el muro de la impunidad.

On this edition of Madison BookBeat, host Sara Batkie chats with author Emily Mitchell about her new short story collection, The Church of Divine Electricity, now available from University of Wisconsin Press. Delightfully blending literary fiction with speculative genres, the stories in The Church of Divine Electricity somehow manage to feel as though they could take place today. In Emily Mitchell's created worlds, as in our own, technology bewitches, especially with its ability to heighten both connections and isolation. Whether being held by a giant and comforting machine, allowing micro-drones to record one's every moment for a year to win prize money, or choosing self-mutilation in exchange for a bionic hand, these characters navigate technological and social change. The familiar can turn unrecognizable and disorienting—sometimes in a flash, sometimes gradually. Lyrical, haunting, and often funny, these stories ask us to consider what—and who—gets left out of a seemingly utopian future of technological advancements. Finely observed, thoughtful, and vivid, Mitchell's stories get under your skin. It's not that the best-laid plans could lead us astray—it's that they may already have.  Emily Mitchell, associate professor of English at the University of Maryland, is the author of a collection of short stories, Viral, and a novel, The Last Summer of the World. Her fiction has appeared in Harper's, Ploughshares, The Sun, and elsewhere; her nonfiction has been published in the New York Times, the New Statesman, and Guernica. She serves as fiction editor for the New England Review. Author photo by J.M. Tyree.

Por aquí ya nos estamos preparando para el frío, porque hace un año empezó justo en noviembre, aunque más bien en la segunda mitad del mes. Pero bueno, si la temperatura es parecida a la que tuvimos entonces, no está mal. Hizo mucho frío comparado con Madrid, pero nada del otro mundo. Con ropa de abrigo se arregla todo. Así que, me conformo con que este año sea más o menos igual. En cuanto a la noticia de hoy, está relacionada con lo que sucedió hace poco en el Museo del Louvre de París. No sé si lo habrás visto en las noticias. Si no es así, te lo cuento. Bueno, en realidad, te lo iba a contar igualmente. Para eso estoy aquí. Bueno, el caso es que el domingo 19 de octubre, a plena luz del día y mientras el museo del Louvre estaba abierto al público, cuatro ladrones disfrazados de obreros accedieron al interior de una sala del museo utilizando un montacargas. Un montacargas es un ascensor que se utiliza para subir y bajar cosas pesadas, de mucho peso. Pues bien, en apenas siete minutos, los ladrones se llevaron ocho joyas de la Corona francesa, entre ellas una diadema de perlas que perteneció a la emperatriz Eugenia y un conjunto de collar y pendientes de zafiros de la reina María Amelia. Y luego, durante la huida, dejaron caer una corona que resultó dañada. El valor estimado del botín supera los 88 millones de euros. Por si no lo sabes, en este contexto, el botín es la cantidad de dinero robada. Por ejemplo, los ladrones que robaron el banco se llevaron un botín de 1 millón de euros. Volviendo a la noticia del Louvre, la policía francesa ha detenido ya a varios sospechosos. Sin embargo, las joyas aún no han sido recuperadas. Bueno, eso es lo que pasó en París, pero yo siempre suelo hablarte de algo ocurrido en España. Y, como te decía antes, guarda cierta relación con el robo de las joyas francesas, aunque no es igual, ni mucho menos. Te hablo de la desaparición de un cuadro del pintor Pablo Picasso. Y antes de escuchar la noticia, como hago siempre, voy a darte algo de contexto. Y en este caso tengo que hablarte del autor de la obra desaparecida. Pablo Picasso nació en Málaga en 1881, y fue uno de los creadores del cubismo, un estilo que revolucionó el arte en el siglo XX. Además de pintar, también trabajó en escultura, cerámica, grabado y diseño teatral. Vivió gran parte de su vida en Francia y dejó un legado inmenso, con obras muy famosas como el Guernica o Las señoritas de Avignon. La obra de la que hablaremos hoy se titula Naturaleza muerta con guitarra, pintada en 1919. Es una composición de objetos cotidianos, como una guitarra y una botella, representados con formas geométricas y colores planos, típica del estilo cubista. Aunque no es una de sus piezas más conocidas, tiene un gran valor artístico y económico. Por cierto, si alguna vez vienes a España y quieres ver obras de Picasso, puedes visitar el Museo Reina Sofía en Madrid, donde se encuentra el famoso Guernica; el Museo Picasso Málaga, en su ciudad natal, que alberga una colección variada de pinturas, cerámicas y dibujos; el Museo Picasso Barcelona, con más de 4.000 obras, especialmente de su etapa juvenil; y el Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, también en Madrid, que expone algunas de sus obras dentro de su colección de arte moderno. Y dicho todo esto, ya estamos preparados para escuchar la noticia de Radio Nacional de España. Como te explicaba antes, trata sobre la desaparición del cuadro de Picasso Naturaleza muerta con guitarra. Escucha con atención y te sigo contando cosas. “Estamos ahora en Granada, donde debería estar expuesto un Picasso desaparecido, ‘Naturaleza muerta con guitarra', pintado en 1919, salió de Madrid para ser prestado. La Policía Nacional investiga el extravío o robo, María Martín. Sí, era una de las obras que iban a exhibirse en la muestra ‘Bodegón' de la Fundación Caja Granada, pero nunca llegó. En estos momentos, la Policía Nacional trata de averiguar dónde desapareció este pequeño cuadro de Pablo Picasso datado en 1919 y asegurado en 600.000 euros. Se sabe que el cuadro ‘Naturaleza muerta con guitarra' salió del inmueble del propietario en Madrid, después la pieza se trasladó al almacén de la empresa, que contaba con medidas de seguridad, y días después trasladaron esta y otras obras de arte en un furgón hasta Deifontes, donde los conductores hicieron noche. Se desconoce en qué punto desapareció. Lo que sí se sabe es que no llegó a Granada. La investigación sigue abierta y, por el momento, no hay detenciones.” Un caso extraño, ¿verdad? Bueno, pues luego te cuento qué pasó en realidad, porque entre el día que escuché la noticia y el día de la grabación de este episodio, ya se ha resuelto esa desaparición. Pero antes vamos con las palabras que pueden resultar más complicadas. Expuesto: Que está visible o mostrado al público, especialmente en una exposición o museo. Ejemplos: El cuadro estuvo expuesto en el Museo del Prado durante tres meses. Los documentos confidenciales no deben estar expuestos en lugares públicos. Extravío: Pérdida de algo, especialmente cuando no se sabe dónde está. Ejemplos: El extravío del paquete ocurrió durante el transporte. Se denunció el extravío de una obra de arte muy valiosa. Exhibir: Mostrar algo públicamente para que otros lo vean, especialmente en una exposición. Ejemplos: Van a exhibir esculturas de artistas jóvenes en la galería. El museo exhibe una colección de arte moderno. Muestra: Exposición o presentación de obras, productos o elementos para que sean vistos por el público. Ejemplos: La muestra de fotografía estará abierta hasta el domingo. En la muestra se incluyen obras de Picasso y Dalí. Datado: Que tiene una fecha asignada, especialmente en documentos u obras de arte. Ejemplos: El manuscrito está datado en el siglo XV. El cuadro está datado en 1919, poco después de la Primera Guerra Mundial. Asegurado: Que tiene un seguro que cubre su valor en caso de pérdida o daño. Ejemplos: El coche está asegurado contra robos y accidentes. La obra de arte estaba asegurada en 600.000 euros. Inmueble: Edificio o propiedad que no se puede mover, como una casa o un local. Ejemplos: El cuadro fue retirado del inmueble del propietario en Madrid. Compraron un inmueble en el centro de la ciudad para abrir una tienda. Furgón: Vehículo cerrado y grande usado para transportar mercancías o equipaje. Ejemplos: Las obras fueron trasladadas en un furgón con medidas de seguridad. El furgón llegó a la galería con varias cajas de arte. Hacer noche: Pasar la noche en un lugar durante un viaje. Ejemplos: Los conductores hicieron noche a mitad de camino antes de seguir a Granada. Vamos a hacer noche en Zaragoza y continuar el viaje mañana. Muy bien. Pues ahora tienes que entender todo lo que vamos a escuchar por segunda vez. “Estamos ahora en Granada, donde debería estar expuesto un Picasso desaparecido, ‘Naturaleza muerta con guitarra', pintado en 1919, salió de Madrid para ser prestado. La Policía Nacional investiga el extravío o robo, María Martín. Sí, era una de las obras que iban a exhibirse en la muestra ‘Bodegón' de la Fundación Caja Granada, pero nunca llegó. En estos momentos, la Policía Nacional trata de averiguar dónde desapareció este pequeño cuadro de Pablo Picasso datado en 1919 y asegurado en 600.000 euros. Se sabe que el cuadro ‘Naturaleza muerta con guitarra' salió del inmueble del propietario en Madrid, después la pieza se trasladó al almacén de la empresa, que contaba con medidas de seguridad, y días después trasladaron esta y otras obras de arte en un furgón hasta Deifontes, donde los conductores hicieron noche. Se desconoce en qué punto desapareció. Lo que sí se sabe es que no llegó a Granada. La investigación sigue abierta y, por el momento, no hay detenciones.” Te adelanto que la desaparición se ha resuelto y no han arrestado a nadie. Por lo tanto, ¿qué habrá pasado? Bueno, luego te lo cuento. Así mantengo el suspense, el misterio. Ahora voy a contarte la noticia con otras palabras. En la información nos dicen que en Granada debía presentarse una pintura de Pablo Picasso, pero que nunca llegó al lugar previsto. La obra, titulada Naturaleza muerta con guitarra y realizada en 1919, fue enviada desde Madrid como parte de un préstamo para una exposición artística. La Policía Nacional está intentando esclarecer si se trata de una pérdida accidental o de un posible robo. El cuadro iba a formar parte de una muestra organizada por la Fundación Caja Granada, pero no se encuentra en el sitio donde debía exhibirse. En la noticia nos cuentan que la pieza salió de la vivienda del propietario en Madrid, y que fue trasladada a las instalaciones de una empresa especializada en transporte de arte, una empresa que contaba con sistemas de seguridad, claro. Días después, se cargó el cuadro junto a otras obras en un vehículo cerrado y se dirigieron a una localidad que se llama Deifontes, donde los conductores pasaron la noche. El día que apareció la noticia no se había determinado en qué momento exacto se produjo la desaparición. Lo único confirmado es que nunca llegó a Granada. Seguro que estás dándole vueltas a la cabeza pensando en qué pasó realmente. Pues no te preocupes que te lo cuento en un minuto, justo después de volver a escuchar la noticia. “Estamos ahora en Granada, donde debería estar expuesto un Picasso desaparecido, ‘Naturaleza muerta con guitarra', pintado en 1919, salió de Madrid para ser prestado. La Policía Nacional investiga el extravío o robo, María Martín. Sí, era una de las obras que iban a exhibirse en la muestra ‘Bodegón' de la Fundación Caja Granada, pero nunca llegó.

Se desconoce en qué punto desapareció. Lo que sí se sabe es que no llegó a Granada. La investigación sigue abierta y, por el momento, no hay detenciones.” Venga, te lo cuento ya. En realidad, el cuadro de Picasso no desapareció y tampoco fue un robo, sino simplemente un olvido. La obra no llegó a ser cargada en el camión de transporte. De hecho, el cuadro se quedó dentro del edificio del propietario, porque los encargados de recogerlo lo olvidaron allí. Subieron al camión otras obras, pero no esa. Y el asunto se resolvió porque una vecina entró al edificio, vio un paquete en el suelo y se lo subió a su casa pensando que era de Amazon. Así de sencillo. Qué cosas pasan, ¿verdad? En este caso, el cuadro de Picasso no se perdió. Pero a lo largo de la historia, muchas obras de arte han sido robadas o han desaparecido misteriosamente. Uno de los robos más famosos fue el de La Gioconda, también conocida como La Mona Lisa, de Leonardo da Vinci. En 1911, un empleado del Museo del Louvre se llevó la pintura escondida bajo su abrigo. El cuadro fue recuperado dos años después, pero durante la investigación incluso se llegó a interrogar a Picasso como sospechoso. Otro caso emblemático es el de El grito, del noruego Edvard Munch. Esta obra fue robada dos veces: la primera en 1994 y la segunda en 2004. Afortunadamente, en ambas ocasiones se pudo recuperar. También está el robo en el Museo Gardner de Boston, en 1990, donde desaparecieron once obras maestras de artistas como Rembrandt, Vermeer y Degas, valoradas en más de 100 millones de euros. Hasta hoy, muchas de esas piezas siguen sin aparecer. Incluso el propio Picasso ha sido víctima de robos auténticos. En 2010, su obra La paloma con guisantes verdes fue sustraída en París y aún no ha sido recuperada. Bueno, por suerte, la noticia de hoy ha terminado con final feliz, y espero que te haya servido para aprender cosas nuevas del español y del artista Pablo Picasso. Y antes de despedirme, vamos a repasar las palabras y expresiones que hemos visto hoy en detalle: Expuesto: Que está visible o mostrado al público, especialmente en una exposición o museo. Extravío: Pérdida de algo, especialmente cuando no se sabe dónde está. Exhibir: Mostrar algo públicamente para que otros lo vean, especialmente en una exposición. Muestra: Exposición o presentación de obras, productos o elementos para que sean vistos por el público. Datado: Que tiene una fecha asignada, especialmente en documentos u obras de arte. Asegurado: Que tiene un seguro que cubre su valor en caso de pérdida o daño. Inmueble: Edificio o propiedad que no se puede mover, como una casa o un local. Furgón: Vehículo cerrado y grande usado para transportar mercancías o equipaje. Hacer noche: Pasar la noche en un lugar durante un viaje. Si alguna vez haces noche en Madrid, recuerda que puedes ver algunas obras de Picasso en varios museos de la capital. No dejes pasar esa oportunidad. Por mi parte, es todo por hoy.

Feeling stuck in the unsettling space between who you were and who you're becoming? If you're navigating midlife transitions—whether it's empty nest, perimenopause, aging parents, or shifting identity—this episode of Pleasure in the Pause offers a transformative perspective on living consciously through change.Host Gabriela Espinosa sits down with Ann Tashi Slater to explore the Buddhist concept of "bardo"—the in-between state—as a powerful model for midlife transformation. If you've been resisting change, clinging to what was, or feeling overwhelmed by uncertainty, this conversation reveals how accepting impermanence can actually open the door to deeper peace, creativity, and joy. Discover practical daily practices for meeting life's transitions with awareness instead of resistance, and learn how to live fully awake in the great in-between of midlife.Are you ready to awaken your sensuality and feel more empowered in your body? Access the FREE Pleasure Upgrade Bundle at https://www.pleasureinthepause.com/gift.Ann Tashi Slater is the author of Traveling in Bardo: The Art of Living in an Impermanent World. She contributes to The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Paris Review, Oprah Daily, Guernica, Granta, and many others. Her speaking engagements include Princeton, Columbia, Oxford, the American University of Paris, and Asia Society. Highlights from our discussion include:Bardo as a midlife model: The Buddhist concept of bardo—the in-between state—perfectly describes midlife when we're no longer who we were but not yet who we're becoming.Acceptance unlocks action: True acceptance doesn't mean giving up—it allows meaningful action. We must acknowledge reality before we can move forward through any transition.Resistance causes suffering: It's not change itself that threatens us, but our resistance to it. Clinging to what was creates additional suffering on top of natural grief.Practice noticing transitions: Build comfort with impermanence by observing daily beginnings and endings—the start and end of each day, changing seasons, how you've evolved over time.This week, notice one beginning and one ending in your day. Then ask yourself: If things could be exactly as I wanted, what would my life look like? Remember—wanting to be happy isn't selfish, it's human.If you're seeking to reclaim your pleasure and vitality, join Gabriella at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.pleasureinthepause.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for this enlightening journey into the heart of female pleasure and empowerment.CONNECT WITH ANN TASHI SLATER:Traveling In BardoWebsiteCONNECT WITH GABRIELLA ESPINOSA:InstagramLinkedInWork with Gabriella! Go to https://www.gabriellaespinosa.com/ to book a call.Full episodes on YouTube.

This summary episode explores the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), the devastating conflict that served as a bloody rehearsal for World War II where competing political ideologies clashed with deadly consequences. Born from the collapse of Spain's military dictatorship and the struggle of the Second Spanish Republic against economic depression and social upheaval, the war erupted when General Francisco Franco launched a military coup from Spanish Morocco in July 1936. What followed was a brutal three-year conflict that split Spain between Franco's Nationalists—backed by fascist Italy and Nazi Germany—and the Republican Popular Front, a fractured coalition of republicans, communists, and anarchists supported by the Soviet Union and international volunteers in the famous International Brigades. The episode traces key battles from the siege of Madrid to the terror bombing of Guernica, while examining how internal divisions among the Republicans, particularly the violent May 1937 clashes between communists and anarchists in Barcelona, fatally weakened their cause. Ultimately, Franco's victory came at the cost of 350,000 lives and left Spain devastated, leading to decades of dictatorship while providing the major European powers with military experience and technology testing that would shape the coming world war—though each nation would learn selective lessons that suited their existing beliefs rather than the full reality of modern warfare.

"Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth." - Pablo Picasso said and then painted Guerica in response to the 1937 bombing of the Basque town of Guernica by Nazi and Fascist forces. “The artist's role is not to look away.” - Akira Kurosawa, Japanese filmmaker once said and then directed High and Low, a film about the moral dilemmas of a capitalist society and the consequences. “Art holds up the mirror to nature.” - William Shakespeare, Hamlet (Act 3, Scene 2) a sentiment similar to Aristotle, who once said "Art imitates life." The duty and role of an artist in society is not always to simply entertain.

A masterpiece doesn't have to be simple. Sometimes the most powerful stories emerge from complexity, cohesion, and staying power.That's the lesson of Picasso's Guernica, a chaotic painting that, when viewed as a whole, tells a timeless story. In this episode, we explore its marketing lessons with the help of our special guest Jerome Stewart, Chief Marketing Officer at Conviva.Together, we uncover what B2B marketers can learn from building campaigns with a unifying story, turning complexity into an advantage, and creating content designed to resonate long after launch.About our guest, Jerome StewartJerome Stewart is the Chief Marketing Officer at Conviva. He is a dynamic and people-driven marketing executive with a proven track record of building high-performing teams, elevating brand visibility, and driving revenue growth in early-stage and industry-leading technology companies. Jerome is an experienced global leader with six years of international business experience outside the USA, as well as an accomplished Amazon bestselling author.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Guernica:Campaigns need a unifying story. Guernica shows how fragmented, chaotic elements can form one powerful story. Jerome says, “Each one of those [individual pictures] stands out, but when you take a step back and you look at it in its entirety. Indeed, there is a cohesive story.” Marketing works the same way; every asset matters, but true impact comes when the pieces connect into a bigger, memorable narrative.Complexity can be an advantage. At first glance, Guernica looks disorganized and overwhelming. However, his chaotic canvas still communicates a clear message. Jerome points out, “Maybe some people look at a more modern artistic style… and you can say, ‘Hey, this just looks really messy.' But as I say, dig in a little bit deeper and you see there's a very rich story.” In marketing, don't be afraid of layered stories. Campaigns that invite discovery can spark deeper connection and longer attention.Strive for timeless content. Picasso's painting still sparks reflection nearly a century later. Jerome connects this to marketing: “We're trying to tell stories and we're trying to come up with stories that stand out and that maybe stand the test of time. That will resonate into the future.” Campaigns should be built with staying power, not just to make noise at launch but to linger and influence long after.Quote“A bar  to hold ourselves against is did we tell a story? Was it clear? And something else that Picasso did brilliantly well, he took something as complex as war, and he didn't simplify it in any way. He did something cohesive. [We have to]  challenge ourselves to do the best that we possibly can to tell those stories.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Jerome Stewart, Chief Marketing Officer at Conviva[01:34] Why Guernica?[06:57] Visiting Guernica and Its Impact[14:58] Role as CMO at Conviva[16:45] Understanding Guernica[28:08] B2B Marketing Takeaways from Guernica[35:31] Marketing Insights and Strategies[42:27] Advice for CMOs[44:53] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Jerome on LinkedInLearn more about ConvivaAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

In the mid-1930s, with the shadow of one great war still looming and the threat of another growing darker, Britain faced a vexing national crisis: should it rearm? This episode delves into the complex political, economic, and social debates that defined this critical period.We explore the profound public anxiety shaped by the memory of World War I and the terrifying new prospect of aerial warfare, as seen in newsreels from Guernica and Nanjing. Drawing on Daniel Todman's Britain's War, we unpack the immense financial cost of building a deterrent force and the fierce political arguments it ignited. Why was borrowing for defense seen as acceptable while spending on social welfare was not?Join us as we examine the clash between Winston Churchill's thunderous calls for urgent, state-led industrial mobilization and the Baldwin-Chamberlain government's cautious approach, which feared destroying Britain's export economy for a war that might never happen. From the inter-service rivalries and industrial bottlenecks to the ingenious "shadow factory" scheme that would prove vital in the Battle of Britain, this is the story of a democracy grappling with the monumental challenge of preparing for a war it desperately wanted to avoid.Go Deeper: Visit our website at www.explaininghistory.org for articles and detailed explorations of the topics discussed.▸ Join the Conversation: Our community of history enthusiasts discusses episodes, shares ideas, and continues the conversation.

Depuis maintenant plus d'un an, Cuba connaît des problèmes d'électricité récurrents, avec des coupures qui durent parfois plus de 15 heures par jour. Ces derniers mois, des provinces entières n'ont plus eu de courant pendant des semaines, la faute à des infrastructures vieillissantes, pour ne pas dire totalement défaillantes. L'embargo américain, mis en place depuis 1962, y est pour beaucoup, mais pas seulement. Exaspérés, des Cubains descendent dans les rues régulièrement pour dénoncer cette situation. Pour l'historien cubain Manuel Cueta Morua, ancien fonctionnaire et opposant depuis des décennies, c'est un signe du délabrement du régime de La Havane. C'est ce qu'il a raconté à Romain Lemaresquier qui l'a joint dans la capitale cubaine qu'il n'a jamais quittée malgré plusieurs passages en prison.   Donald Trump bafoue l'indépendance de la justice Aux États-Unis, James Comey, l'ancien patron du FBI, a été mis en examen pour fausses déclarations et entrave à la justice. Cela faisait des mois que Donald Trump voulait sa tête car il avait enquêté sur des soupçons d'ingérence russe lors de sa campagne en 2016.  Le président américain n'a pas hésité à faire pression sur la justice pour parvenir à ses fins, relève la presse américaine. Ainsi, Donald Trump «a bafoué la longue tradition qui veut que le ministère de la Justice se tienne à l'écart de la Maison Blanche (...) et résiste aux pressions politiques», écrit le New York Times. Une tradition qui remonte à l'après-Watergate. La sacro-sainte indépendance de la justice est «une règle démocratique fondamentale», insiste le quotidien new-yorkais. «Ce pare-feu, aussi imparfait soit-il, a été établi pour préserver l'idéal démocratique d'un pays où la justice est impartiale et où personne n'est au-dessus des lois», renchérit le Washington Post. Cette première qui marque une «extension du pouvoir présidentiel», «fait craindre de nouvelles poursuites judiciaires arbitraires lancées par Donald Trump contre ses ennemis», s'inquiète le New York Times. D'autant que le président est en train de remodeler le ministère de la Justice en nommant des gens sans expérience qui placent leur loyauté envers lui au-dessus du respect de l'indépendance de la justice, explique le Washington Post. «Huit mois après le début de son second mandat, Donald Trump a tenu sa promesse de faire de la vengeance un élément central de sa présidence», se désole le journal.   «Haïti a droit à la paix !» Laurent Saint-Cyr, le président du CPT, a alerté sur la situation en Haïti, hier (25 septembre 2025) à la tribune des Nations unies. Il a comparé son pays à un «Guernica contemporain (...) à 4 heures de vol de New York». Un «discours passionné», selon le Miami Herald. «Dans un contexte de crises mondiales qui font rage, d'apathie et de changements dans les priorités de l'aide étrangère américaine», Laurent Saint-Cyr «a appelé le monde à l'aide», écrit encore le journal, alors que le mandat de la Mission multinationale de sécurité expire jeudi 2 octobre 2025. Cette allocution était «totalement creuse», «indigne» même, estime, pour sa part, Radio Télé Métronome. «Laurent Saint-Cyr n'a mentionné aucune réalisation, si ce n'est l'augmentation du budget consacré à la sécurité», développe le média. Mais à quoi cela a-t-il servi ? Puisque «les gangs ont étendu leur emprise sur de nouveaux territoires». «18 mois après son arrivée à la tête du pays, à la tribune des Nations unies, le CPT a confessé son échec», juge Radio Télé Métronome.   L'inflation fait rage en Haïti Les prix ont augmenté de 31% en un an, nous apprend Le Nouvelliste, avec des hausses de prix particulièrement importantes en ce qui concerne les loyers, le gaz, l'essence et la nourriture. Pour une majorité de foyers, près de la moitié du budget sert à se nourrir, explique le journal. Et pour acheter à manger, beaucoup d'Haïtiens dépendent de leurs proches qui vivent à l'étranger. D'octobre à juin, 3,3 milliards de dollars ont été transférés. Des devises qui servent avant tout à financer les importations et qui quittent, donc, le pays. Ce flux pourrait se tarir, fait remarquer Le Nouvelliste, compte tenu des menaces qui pèsent sur la diaspora installée aux États-Unis, comme par exemple, l'idée de Donald Trump de faire payer un visa aux diplômés. Autre inquiétude : «L'incertitude entourant la migration et les choix politiques aux États-Unis (...) pourraient conduire à un ralentissement outre-Atlantique», analyse le journal.   «Les enfants musiciens de Ste Suzanne» Dans ce documentaire, le réalisateur Arnold Antonin raconte l'histoire des orphelins de Sainte-Suzanne, petite commune du nord-est d'Haïti. Cette quarantaine d'enfants recueillis dans un premier temps à Port-au-Prince par Kai Didi, ont été forcés de quitter la capitale à cause des violences, et se sont installés à Sainte-Suzanne où ils ont monté un orchestre. Lila Olkinuora s'est entretenue avec Arnold Antonin.   Le journal de la 1ère Au lendemain d'une nouvelle fusillade mortelle en Martinique, les médiateurs sociaux plaident pour leur retour rapide sur le terrain.

Government leaders, the ultra wealthy who need us to work more and more and more for less and less wages. And I think you can ask a similar question about memory. Who in this country benefits from our forgetting? There are systems that have everything to gain from our disembodiment, just as there are systems that have everything to gain from this willful amnesia." -Cole Arthur Riley Cole Arthur Riley You can find more of Cole Arthur Riley on Instagram @blackliturgies, on Facebook @blackliturgist, and at her website, colearthurriley.com.

This week we have a fun episode that examines point of view in memoir. We're talking about personal narrative that falls outside of first person, which means points of view that are second, third, and plural. We consider this style, which used to be far less common in memoir than it is now, with author Elizabeth Crane, whose memoir, This Story Will Change, implements all the points of view to great effect. We had fun with this one and we hope our writer-listeners will have fun experimenting with point of view, too. Don't miss Brooke's underrated Substack post on 5 Ways to Use “You” in Memoir. And especially don't miss this incredible list of publishers that are accepting unsolicited manuscripts for memoir. Thank you, Becker! Elizabeth Crane is the author of four collections of short stories,  two novels, and one memoir. Her work has been translated into several languages and has been featured in numerous publications including Other Voices, Nerve, Ecotone, Swink, Guernica, and many other outlets. She's a recipient of the Chicago Public Library 21st Century Award, and her work has been adapted for the stage by Chicago's Steppenwolf Theater company, and has also been adapted for film.

Cara rugosa, nariz de porra, pelo rizado y gesto adusto. Un rostro habitualmente serio, tanto en la comedia como en el drama, y cuyos personajes tienen siempre ese toque de cinismo y sarcasmo que él ha convertido en su marca de fábrica. Bill Murray cumple 75 años y nosotros lo celebramos dándole un repaso a su carrera. Charlamos con el director de fotografía José Luis Alcaine, ganador del Goya en 5 ocasiones, que tiene una curiosa teoría sobre el Guernica de Picasso. La enfermera Ratched, aquella que hacía la vida imposible al personaje de Jack Nicholson en la película “Alguien voló sobre el nido del cuco” es la protagonista de nuestra sección “Esos tipos a los que nos encanta odiar” y en el serial de Bourbon dedicado al cine de aventuras tenemos esta semana un clásico de los años 70: “El hombre que pudo reinar” de John Huston, con unos geniales Michael Caine y Sean Connery.

The Beauty and the Hell of It and Other Stories (Guernica, 2025) conjures up images of women who struggle through difficult transitions, unpleasant encounters, or ghastly boyfriends and husbands. One woman is a lesbian who sees the man who raped her a decade before, another suffers from bipolar disease, and a third is harassed by her professor. Some of them are grieving and others want vindication but few of them are living the lives they'd imagined. And then there's Liam, who is devastated by his young son's death, and who'd always loved the daughter of one of his father's wives. These are beautifully written, sensitive stories about a range of human reactions to the harsh realities of life and death. Lynda Williams is a freelance copyeditor and short fiction writer based in Calgary, Alberta. Her stories have appeared in Grain, The Humber Literary Review, and The New Quarterly, among others. Her literary influences include Raymond Carver, Pam Houston, and Lorrie Moore. Born and raised on a dairy farm in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Lynda arrived in Calgary after a 40-hour trip on a Greyhound bus, after which she took the best shower of her life. She has called Alberta home ever since. When she's not writing, Lynda can be found experimenting with gluten-free baking and bingeing New Girl on one of many streaming services. She has been married to her partner in crime for 12 years, and they share their home (and food) with the world's most adorable mini–Australian Shepherd, Cooper. She is a recipient of the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Emerging Artist Award. For more information about Lynda and her work, visit her website here Learn more about your ad choices.

We're still not done with Libra – or Libra is not done with us! In Episode 28, DDSWTNP pick up threads left hanging after our three-part treatment of DeLillo's JFK novel. While tackling a wide variety of subjects, this episode homes in on Anthony DeCurtis's 1988 interview with DeLillo for Rolling Stone (and later re-published in expanded form), “An Outsider in This Society.” We're led to discuss DeLillo's canny interview articulations in general, his method of writing by day and reading more history by night, and his reply to the suggestion that on the basis of Libra some readers regarded him as “a member of the paranoid left”: “I don't have a program.” Along the way we also draw in vivid evidence of how DeLillo subtly reworked the voice of Marguerite Oswald from testimony in the Warren Report, what fellow Oswald novelist Norman Mailer had to say about Libra, and all that is illuminated by an exchange of letters to the New York Times between DeLillo and one of the Warren Report investigators. We also try here to understand as fully as possible the nuances of DeLillo's ideas about historical fiction that emerge in the incredible DeCurtis interview: what DeLillo means when he says Libra is “a piece of work which is obviously fiction,” touts novels' ability to “redeem” readers' “despair,” and makes the powerful claim that “fiction rescues history from its confusions.” We quote enough that listeners will get plenty of insight even without having read the DeCurtis interview in full, and we look forward to applying many of the lessons about history learned here to future works like Underworld. “Some stories never end,” as DeLillo writes to begin “Assassination Aura,” and that's true of this episode's cover image, which uses a National Enquirer cover from March 2025 about new releases of JFK files. The interlude clip near the beginning is from Oswald's August 1963 interviews on WDSU-TV in New Orleans. Finally, as we note in the episode, thanks to Joel in Toronto for an Instagram comment (we're @delillopodcast) that inspired our return to the DeCurtis interview. Texts mentioned and discussed in this episode: Aristotle, Poetics.

Sixteen and living in a small Michigan town, Gertie is harboring a secret heavy enough to fracture her closest friendship. She and Cindy have been bonded since birth by the fact their fathers are addicts, and their unsteady home lives are a little easier when they're together, sprawled on a trampoline with pilfered vodka and dreams of moving to New York.After an accident involving a bonfire and an aerosol canister sends Gertie to the hospital, she finds herself with nowhere to go but to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to live with her newly sober father. She sees it as a chance to escape the hometown drama she's caused, but drama finds her all the same: parties without curfews, boys without boundaries, a compromising photo, tragedy back home . . . and her father, once again teetering on the edge of oblivion. Terrified of the consequences of being honest with Cindy, her sole refuge is the fantasy novel she's writing, a portal to another world and the story of a young girl roaming a strange land, trusting her wits to survive.Years later, when ghosts of the past surface, Gertie decides to write again about that explosive summer from the stabler shores of adulthood. Powered by the fierce imagination of her youth, Gertie finally allows herself the grace to tell a version of her narrative that she always hoped would be true.Written with the feel and power of a ticking time bomb, Atomic Hearts is an unforgettable story of the ways we can be saved by friendship, love, and imagination.

Por ejemplo, el 26 de julio de 1992, fue trasladado el Guernica de Picasso al Museo Reina Sofía. El cuadro iba cuidadosamente envuelto en un plástico protector e hizo falta una grúa para meter este gran lienzo en un vehículo adaptado para no causar ningún daño a la obra...

HT2326 - The Problem with Liking Artwork What does it mean when we say we like someone's artwork? Its content agrees with our view of the world? That gets complicated because, for example, I like Picasso's Guernica, but I don't like war. Does it mean we admire their technique and craftsmanship? I have no doubt that Bartok was a talented composer, but I don't like listening to anything he wrote. Does it mean they've shown me a world I've never seen? Then why do I enjoy listening to the same music over and over again? Does liking artwork mean that it meets our expectations?

In his second appearance on Anthony Plog on Music, celebrated biographer and composer Jan Swafford returns for an expansive two-part conversation that dives deep into the very soul of classical music. In his previous interview from 2021, Jan discussed his monumental biographies of Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, and Ives. But his intellectual and creative output extends far beyond those volumes, and this new set of interviews explores more of his wide-ranging contributions to the world of music.In Part 1, the focus turns to Jan's book Language of the Spirit: An Introduction to Classical Music, a refreshingly vivid and often personal guide to the history of Western music. The discussion begins with a few select quotes that set the tone for Swafford's engaging style—an approach that never shies away from humor, insight, or imagination. Along the way, Tony and Jan take an unexpected detour into a blog post imagining a conversation between Mozart and Picasso's Guernica. As the conversation returns to the content of Language of the Spirit, the two explore key aspects of the Baroque period, including figured bass and the challenges of intonation. The episode concludes with a discussion of three of Jan's own compositions—They That Mourn, Late August, First Snow, and River—offering a glimpse into his creative voice as a composer.Part 2 picks up right where they left off, continuing the discussion of the Baroque with special attention to the genius of Bach and the dramatic flair of Händel. This naturally leads into a thoughtful debate on performance practice, particularly the tension between historically informed performances (HIP) and modern approaches. Jan brings his signature candor and wit to the conversation, questioning what authenticity really means and whether the HIP movement sometimes overreaches. The episode closes on a memorable note, as Jan describes the extraordinary experience of holding the original manuscripts of Mozart's Marriage of Figaro and Brahms's German Requiem in his hands. And in true Swafford fashion, he promises to return again—next time, to tackle the Classical era through to the present day.DoricoProfessional music notation and composition software from Steinberg.

“I'm hopeful for revolution. I'm optimistic. I want radical change. I think there's such a disinterest in education in America that it is sickening. I think we are repeating history. We are going through a cycle of fascism and greed, and I think we're going to see a lot of states collapse. As a result of that, I think people are going to be forced back to their primal needs and concerns, but I think they're going to be forced to think about what makes us human. How do we become more human? Because we've lost that. We've given it up to technology. How can we figure out what makes us a really powerful species again?”Irvin Weathersby Jr. is a Brooklyn-based writer and professor from New Orleans.

“One of the biggest symbols of America is Mount Rushmore. This monument, right? But I think most people fail to realize where it's located and why it's located there. Even more importantly, who did it? It's on a sacred Native American mountain, a place that was central to their creation stories. But then you think about who did it, and it was a Klansman. The guy who sculpted Mount Rushmore was a Klansman. People were like, "Wait, really?" Like, how is that a thing? But it seeps into our understanding and our embrace of white supremacy. This whole notion of us using Mount Rushmore as a metric of excellence is really sad. We are honoring slave owners and people who viciously killed natives, and those who pillage other lands in the name of capitalism. That's what America is, I guess.I think there's such a disinterest in education in America that it is sickening. We can't even agree on facts. It's up to states' rights to decide. Really? States can say that this is true in one state, but it's not true in another? Although these states are united, it's very bizarre. I'm hopeful for revolution. I'm optimistic. I want radical change. I think we are repeating history. We are going through a cycle of fascism and greed, and I think we're going to see a lot of states collapse.

“The more that you have that evolving relationship with the natural world, that's dynamic and alive to the moment you're in, and that's not afraid of the feelings of fear, hopelessness, grief, or pain that attend paying close attention to the world as it is evolving around you, the better we are able to be flexible in the relationship we need to form with fixing what we can and holding onto what we have. The more we rely on that black-and-white thinking of either being in grief or being out of it, where we have a loss and we have to move on, or we don't and we're fine. The more that happens, the more difficult it is to flow into what we really need in terms of emotional flexibility to get through the staggering changes that are starting to happen regarding climate issues.”Eiren Caffall is a writer and musician. Her work on loss, oceans, and extinction has appeared in Orion,Guernica, The LA Review of Books, Al Jazeera, and the anthology Elementals. She has received a 2023 Whiting Creative Nonfiction Grant, a Social Justice News Nexus fellowship, and a 3Arts Make a Wave grant.
