Ich dzieła znamy z muzeów, szkół i podręczników, a nazwiska stanowią fundament kanonu kultury. Obaj pochodzili z Hiszpanii. Zmienili oblicze sztuki nowoczesnej, choć reprezentowali zupełnie odmienne kierunki.  „Pierwsza komunia”, „Portret Gertrudy Stein”, „Panny z Awinionu”, „Portret Ambroise'a Vollarda” i „Guernica” – te obrazy ojca kubizmu odnaleźliśmy w Muzeum Picassa w Barcelonie, Metropolitan Museum of Art i Museum of Modern Art w Nowym Jorku oraz w Muzeum Narodowym Centrum Sztuki Królowej Zofii w Madrycie. W tym ostatnim muzeum widzieliśmy słynny obraz Dalego „Trwałość pamięci” (lub „Uporczywość pamięci”), a inne dzieło prowokatora surrealizmu, zatytułowane „Pojawienie się twarzy i patery z owocami na plaży”, odnaleźliśmy w Wadsworth Atheneum w Hartford w USA. Na koniec odwiedziliśmy Teatr-Muzeum Dalego w hiszpańskim mieście Figueres. Gościem Jerzego Jopa był dr hab. Piotr Rosiński, profesor UJK w Kielcach, historyk sztuki.

Voilà qui peut sembler étonnant. Pablo Picasso a vécu l'essentiel de sa vie en France. Il s'installe définitivement à Paris au début du XXe siècle, y réalise une grande partie de son œuvre et meurt dans le sud de la France en 1973. Pourtant, il n'a jamais obtenu la nationalité française.Et le plus surprenant, c'est qu'il l'a bel et bien demandée.Picasso naît en Espagne, à Malaga, en 1881. Il arrive pour la première fois à Paris en 1900. Mais très rapidement, la police française commence à s'intéresser à lui.Pourquoi ? Parce que le jeune peintre fréquente des Espagnols proches des milieux anarchistes. À cette époque, l'anarchisme inquiète énormément les autorités françaises, notamment après plusieurs attentats commis en Europe.Dès 1901, Picasso fait donc l'objet d'un rapport de police. On le soupçonne lui-même d'être anarchiste, alors qu'aucune preuve sérieuse ne permet de l'établir.Et ce vieux dossier va avoir des conséquences près de quarante ans plus tard.En 1936 éclate la guerre civile espagnole. Picasso prend clairement position contre le général Franco et soutient les républicains. L'année suivante, il peint d'ailleurs l'une de ses œuvres les plus célèbres : Guernica, en réaction au bombardement de cette ville espagnole.Puis, en 1940, alors que la Seconde Guerre mondiale vient de commencer, Picasso décide de demander officiellement la nationalité française.À ce moment-là, il est pourtant déjà mondialement connu. Mais cela ne suffit pas.Les autorités ressortent son ancien dossier de police. Elles rappellent ses supposées sympathies anarchistes et son soutien aux républicains espagnols. Un rapport des Renseignements généraux le présente comme politiquement suspect.Résultat : sa demande de naturalisation n'aboutit pas.Après la guerre, la situation change complètement. Picasso devient l'un des artistes les plus célèbres au monde. Il adhère au Parti communiste français et continue à vivre en France.Il aurait alors probablement pu tenter une nouvelle demande de naturalisation.Mais il ne le fera jamais.Le refus de 1940 semble avoir laissé des traces. Et Picasso, désormais installé et reconnu internationalement, n'avait plus vraiment besoin de devenir français.Il restera donc espagnol jusqu'à sa mort en 1973.Une situation assez paradoxale : l'un des artistes les plus célèbres de l'histoire culturelle française a passé plus de soixante-dix ans en France… sans jamais en avoir la nationalité.

En este episodio continuamos el relato por uno de los momentos más dramáticos y universales del siglo XX: la Guerra Civil Española. Empezamos por la llegada de las Brigadas Internacionales,mientras las potencias del Eje transformaban el territorio peninsular en el laboratorio bélico de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Caminamos de la mano de escritores como Federico García Lorca, Miguel Hernández y Antonio Machado, cuya palabra y destino encarnaron la tragedia del conflicto que partió España. Finalmente, analizamos el inmenso éxodo republicano —con México como faro de hospitalidad bajo el liderazgo de Lázaro Cárdenas—, las cuatro décadas de dictadura franquista, la efervescencia cultural del destape y el reto pendiente de una memoria histórica que, noventa años después, reclama el diálogo y la palabra para sanar. Notas del episodio Las Brigadas Internacionales y el Quinto Regimiento: La movilización solidaria de miles de voluntarios, intelectuales y artistas de diversas latitudes que viajaron a España para respaldar el proyecto republicano frente al golpe militar. Federico García Lorca y el eco de los poetas: El impacto del asesinato de García Lorca en Granada y la resonancia universal de obras como las de César Vallejo (España, aparta de mí este cáliz), Pablo Neruda (España en el corazón), Rafael Alberti y Antonio Machado. Guernica y el laboratorio de la Segunda Guerra Mundial: La devastación de la población civil mediante los bombardeos aéreos de la Legión Cóndor nazi y la aviación fascista italiana, inmortalizada en el lienzo de Pablo Picasso. El exilio republicano y la acogida en México: La política solidaria del presidente Lázaro Cárdenas, la travesía de los Niños de Morelia y el impulso formativo, artístico y cinematográfico que aportaron figuras como Luis Buñuel, Remedios Varo y cientos de académicos al continente. La filmografía de la memoria: Desde el clásico documental Morir en Madrid de Frédéric Rossif, pasando por Las bicicletas son para el verano, La lengua de las mariposas y El laberinto del fauno, hasta Madres paralelas de Pedro Almodóvar. Del franquismo a la transición y las autonomías: Las cuatro décadas de autarquía, represión y censura moral, seguidas de la explosión cultural de La Movida y el reconocimiento de las identidades de Cataluña, el País Vasco y Galicia tras 1975.

Journalist Kimon de Greef joins Chris Clarke to discuss his new book, The Ego Trip: Psychedelic Toads, a Trail of Deaths, and the Guru Who Peddled Transcendence. The Sonoran Desert toad (Incilius alvarius) spends most of the year underground, emerging to breed during summer rainstorms. It is also the only animal known to produce 5-MeO-DMT, an extraordinarily powerful psychedelic compound, in its defensive secretions. That biological curiosity has made the toad the center of a global psychedelic industry. Chris and Kimon discuss how Sonoran toad secretions changed from a little-known psychedelic tool into an international spiritual commodity; how outsiders profit from romanticized ideas about Indigenous tradition; and what the resulting trade means for the toads, the people hired to collect them, and communities living amid poverty and cartel violence. They also examine parallels with the commercial appropriation and poaching of white sage, and consider an uncomfortable contradiction: people seeking healing, transcendence and communion with nature may be supporting a supply chain built on wildlife exploitation, misinformation and harm. Content Note This episode contains discussion of drug use, addiction, death, animal mistreatment and abusive psychedelic practices. It is not intended as medical advice or encouragement to use 5-MeO-DMT or any other controlled substance. About Kimon de Greef Kimon de Greef is a South African journalist whose work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Guardian, National Geographic, Guernica and other publications. He has a master’s degree in conservation biology from the University of Cape Town and a master’s degree in journalism from New York University.

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art.Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.Austin ArtWorks Festival brings visual art, music, books and film downtown Gretchen Ramlo has been involved with the Austin ArtWorks Festival since the beginning, but lately she has stepped back and is looking forward simply to attending this year. The free annual festival takes place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 28, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 29. The festival includes more than 80 juried artists working in a variety of artistic media as well as a stage with live music. This year's author's tent includes authors writing romance, crime and thrillers, and Austin history. The festival kicks off Friday at 4 p.m. with a talk by mystery writer William Kent Krueger. Ramlo says she is looking forward to that event as well as a film screening of the documentary “The Life & Art of Eric Anfinson.” Artists respond to Operation Metro Surge in Northeast Minneapolis exhibition Tricia Heuring is artistic director of Public Functionary in Northeast Minneapolis. She's excited about a group show taking place in her neighborhood at a nontraditional space: findfurnish on Central Avenue. Titled “The Radical Act of Having Each Other's Back,” the exhibit features the work of 26 artists created during and since U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcements' Operation Metro Surge. There is an opening reception Thursday, Aug. 27 from 6 to 9 p.m., and the exhibition remains on view through Sept. 20. At the center of the exhibit, four graffiti writers have created their own black-and-white version of Picasso's painting “Guernica,” his response to the Nazi bombing of Guernica, Spain, during the Spanish Civil War. Heuring says this version, and the show, allows artists to reclaim the narrative following the height of ICE enforcement activity during Operation Metro Surge. Visitors can add magnetic pieces to the Guernica mural as a way of interacting with the story it is telling. “I really hope this is the first of many, many shows by artists processing what's been happening in our cities and and in our country. And I really hope that it inspires more artists to start opening up about the narratives that they want to share, so that we can continue just resisting and talking about the things that are happening.” Dede Decker transforms latch hook into contemporary fine art Jes Reyes is an artist and arts administrator in St. Paul. She wants people to know about Dede Decker's latch hook exhibit at Fresh Eye Gallery in Minneapolis, which runs through Sept. 27. Reyes says: “I'm drawn to artists who embrace intuitive making, blur the boundaries between craft and fine art and create work that is both joyful and deeply personal. As a fiber artist myself, I feel a particular connection to Dede's practice. I'm fascinated by the way she transforms latch hook — a medium many people associate with craft kits — into contemporary fine art through her own original designs. Dede's work also resonates with my own belief that fiber belongs firmly within contemporary art.” (Correction Aug., 27, 2026): A previous version of this story contained a misspelling of Jes Reyes. It has been corrected.

Azda sa môže zdať, že pre nás bola príliš vzdialená a preto aj stále neznáma a neprehľadná. Už tradične sme si o nej zvykli premýšľať len ako o krvavej predohre k druhej svetovej vojne a týmto konštatovaním sme odbili i snahu o jej poctivé pochopenie. Španielska občianska vojna bola skutočne predobrazom toho, čo malo už zakrátko nasledovať v celej Európe, či po celom svete. Španielske mestá sa rúcali pod náporom leteckých bombardovacích kampaní, čoho mrazivým príkladom a znepokojivou víziou blízkej budúcnosti sa stalo baskické mesto Guernica. Vojenské operácie sprevádzali obrovské násilnosti a čistky na civilnom obyvateľstve, či tzv. vysporadúvanie sa s ideologickým či triednym nepriateľom. A rovnako i výsledok tejto vojny predznamenával nástup a mimoriadne agresívnu povahu fašizmu. Od začiatku tohto konfliktu uplynulo práve 90 rokov. Začal sa 17. júla 1936, paradoxne nie na Pyrenejskom polostrove, ale v španielskom Maroku, kde sa vzbúrila skupina vojenských veliteľov na čele s Franciscom Francom – neskorším generalissimom povstania proti republikánskej vláde a napokon i vodcom – teda caudillom – nového fašistického Španielska. Táto vojna pritom nezostala izolovanou zónou pekla, na ktoré sa spoza hraníc prizeral zvyšok Európy. Či už vojenskou pomocou alebo i priamou vojenskou účasťou sa doň zapojilo nacistické Nemecko, fašistické Taliansko na jednej strane, i stalinský Sovietsky zväz na strane druhej. A občiansku vojnu v Španielsku na vlastnej koži prežili aj zhruba dve tisícky občanov vtedajšieho Československa, ktorí sa rozhodli pomôcť zachrániť republiku svojou účasťou v tzv. interbrigádach. Aké príčiny stály za konfliktom, ktorý sa natiahol na tri dlhé roky? A čo znamenala táto vojna pre Španielsko i pre celú Európu?

A designer with 20+ years of experience sits in front of twelve competent, AI-generated screens... and can't evaluate a single one. Not because they're bad. Because something is missing. And the same thing happened to me.In this episode, I investigate this case like a detective story: What was taken from us? Who took it? The answer turned out to be the most hopeful thing I've learned about design in years, disguised as a crisis. Because the comps were never the design. The comps are the artifact. The design is the model in your head, and no tool can generate it.In this episode:The mystery: why the most trained design judgment goes offline in front of good AI output (and why "AI output is slop" is the wrong explanation)The three suspects: the AI, the speed, and the surprising real culpritWhy "the back-and-forth builds the model": the experiment that proves your value was never in the pixelsThe cold case behind it all: how we spent 20 years selling the first three rounds, and why that gap just closed foreverThe stakes ladder: what happens when a designer, a team, or a whole organization over-trusts AI outputTaste redefined: deciding, not decorating, and why having no opinion defaults to the averageThe open question: if artifacts are cheap, is the "living transcript" the design deliverable of the future?Your homework: five questions before pixelsResources mentioned:Christopher Noessel "Design Was Never the Comps: What I learned when Claude Design dumped a dozen screens on me"https://christophernoessel.medium.com/design-was-never-the-comps-what-i-learned-when-claude-design-dumped-a-dozen-screens-on-me-73893af464aeChristopher Noessel "RationaleBot: Why design's near-future deliverable is a living transcript"https://christophernoessel.medium.com/rationalebot-why-designs-near-future-deliverable-is-a-living-transcript-c70613215359Christopher Noessel — "Get Claude Design to present like a consultant" (follow-up with the practical prompt)https://christophernoessel.medium.com/get-claude-design-to-present-like-a-consultant-6bf22261717fRoger Wong "A Sunday Afternoon with Claude Design" (the squiggly line, Picasso's nine Guernica studies)https://rogerwong.me/2026/04/sunday-afternoon-claude-designAnthony Wood (House of gAi) "Claude Design Came for the First Three Rounds.

Today on the program, a trip into the archive and a return to Episode 693, my conversation with Candace Jane Opper, author of the debut memoir Certain and Impossible Events (Kore Press). Air date: February 17, 2021. Candace Jane Opper is a writer, a mother, and an occasional visual artist. She grew up in the woods of Southern Connecticut, in a house that alarmingly resembles the one from The Amityville Horror, where she learned to embrace the value of unconventionality. She holds an MFA in Nonfiction Writing from Portland State University and spent her undergraduate years in Providence studying Film History—a discipline her college advisor fondly described as the second most pointless major next to Art History, which she promptly declared as her minor. Opper's essays have appeared or are forthcoming in Longreads, Guernica, Creative Nonfiction, LitHub, Narratively, Brevity, and Vestoj, among others. She is a Creative Nonfiction Foundation Fellowship recipient and a member on the advisory council for Write Pittsburgh, a program collective that empowers writers to amplify their voices and strengthen their communities. Certain and Impossible Events is her first book. *** ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Otherppl with Brad Listi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is a weekly podcast featuring in-depth interviews with today's leading writers.

Den 26 april 1937 inleddes bombningen av den baskiska staden Guernica. Under några timmar föll en sammanlagd bomblast på omkring 22 ton över staden. Anfallet var beordrat från nationalistsidans högsta ledning och genomfördes med stöd av tyska Condorlegionen och italienskt flyg.För nationalisterna var bombningen en del av offensiven i Baskien, men den framstår också som ett slags brutal testbädd: här användes bland annat Junkers Ju 52 (tillsammans med andra flygplanstyper) i en planerad rädföljd som gav erfarenheter av bombkrigföring som senare skulle få eko i andra världskriget.I detta avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden försöker Martin Hårdstedt och Peter Bennesved förstå varför Guernica bombades – och vad anfallet skulle uppnå. Resultatet blev katastrofalt. Dödssiffran är fortfarande omstridd: uppskattningarna varierar kraftigt, från omkring 150 till över 1 600 döda, och siffrorna har använts i både propaganda och senare omvärderingar.Att osäkerheten kunnat leva kvar hänger också ihop med vad som följde. Bombningen fick omedelbar internationell uppmärksamhet, men i Francos Spanien kom händelsen att förnekas, förvanskas och tystas ned. Nationalisterna tog kontroll över staden bara några dagar senare, den 29 april 1937.Bombningen av Guernica kan ses ur flera perspektiv. Först och främst handlar det om det spanska inbördeskriget och slutstriden om Baskien våren 1937. Anfallet hade knappast varit möjligt utan det flygunderstöd som nationalisterna fick av Tyskland och Italien. Samtidigt stod västmakterna passiva, medan Sovjetunionen stödde republiksidan.En annan dimension är den baskiska nationella identiteten. Guernica var en historisk samlingsplats och ett kulturellt hjärta – en symbol för baskiska friheter. Att slå mot staden var därför också att försöka slå mot själva idén om en baskisk nation. Det visste Franco mycket väl.Bild: Ruinerna i Gernika (Guernica) efter bombningen den 26 april 1937 under spanska inbördeskriget, dokumenterade av tyska Bundesarchiv.

The Author Events Series presents M Lin | The Memory Museum: Stories In Conversation with 'Pemi Aguda Stretching from the present day to the near future, from China to America and beyond, M Lin's piercing and melodious debut captures the spirit of China's One-Child Generation as its characters navigate homes and cultures, hopes and contradictions, survival and resistance. These frank, tender, and playful stories offer profound insight into the ambivalence of migration, the perverse ways race and class can operate, and what it means to be Chinese today. The collection begins with ''Scenes from Childhood,'' in which a lonely, elderly woman in a dystopian reality remembers her grandfather's village. In ''Magic, or Something Less Assuring,'' a politically divided couple goes on a divorce honeymoon in Morocco. ''You Won't Read This in the News'' features four migrant workers during one night of petty theft and connection. In ''Tough Egg,'' a filmmaker thwarted by censorship untangles her fraught relationship to motherhood. Other stories portray a photographer reuniting with her first love in Beijing; the historic White Paper protests that ended the zero-COVID policy; and generations into the future, a newly instated Memory Museum where two sensory architects share their vision for a utopian world. With daring political and creative commitment, The Memory Museum brims with joy even as Lin exposes the knife's edge between powerlessness and agency, pain and intimacy, our memories and our futures. M Lin is a Chinese writer living in the US. Her stories have appeared in Ploughshares, Swamp Pink, Joyland, Epiphany, Fence, and Best Debut Short Stories 2023, and her nonfiction can be read in The New York Times, Guernica, The Rumpus, and elsewhere. 'Pemi Aguda is the author of One Leg on Earth, and Ghostroots, a finalist for the National Book Award, the LA Times First Fiction Prize and the PEN/Faulkner Award. She is from Lagos, Nigeria.

In this episode of The Archive Project, we feature a discussion on late writer Ursula K. Le Guin's legacy of pacifism and environmentalism. Our moderator is Theo Downes-Le Guin, Ursula's son and literary executor. Theo is in conversation with Oregon-based writers Juhea Kim, author of the novel Beasts of a Little Land, a finalist for the 2022 Dayton Literary Peace Prize, and Michelle Ruiz Keil, author most recently of the young adult novel Summer in the City of Roses, which was a finalist for the inaugural Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction. In her speech at the 2014 National Book Awards, accepting the Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, Ursula said: “Hard times are coming, when we’ll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now and can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine some real grounds for hope.” Juhea Kim and Michelle Ruiz Keil are two of those voices that we need now. In this conversation, Juhea and Michelle discuss how they came—and returned—to Le Guin's work, her influence on their writing, and how they are carrying her legacy forward, including the responsibility of the artist as a humanitarian. This conversation was recorded in front of a live audience at Literary Arts on July 15, 2022. “It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.” ― Ursula K. Le Guin Ursula K. Le Guin (1929-2018) was a celebrated author whose body of work includes 23 novels, 12 volumes of short stories, 11 volumes of poetry, 13 children's books, five essay collections, and four works of translation. The breadth and imagination of her work earned her six Nebula Awards, seven Hugo Awards, and SFWA's Grand Master, along with the PEN/Malamud and many other awards. In 2014 she was awarded the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, and in 2016 joined the short list of authors to be published in their lifetimes by the Library of America. Michelle Ruiz Keil is an author, playwright, and tarot reader with an eye for the enchanted and way with animals. She is the author of the critically acclaimed young adult novels All of Us With Wings and Summer In The City of Roses. Her writing for adults can be found most recently in Bitch, Cosmonauts Avenue, and the anthology Dispatches From Anarres: Tales in Tribute to Ursula K. Le Guin. She is a 2021 Tin House Scholar and the recipient of residencies from Hedgebrook, The Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, and the Bloedel Reserve. Born in San Francisco, Michelle has lived in Portland, Oregon for many years where she curates the fairytale reading series All Kinds of Fur and lives with her family in a cottage where the forest meets the city. Juhea Kim is a writer, artist, and advocate based in Portland, Oregon. Her bestselling debut novel Beasts of a Little Land was named a finalist for the 2022 Dayton Literary Peace Prize and a Best Book of 2021 by Harper’s Bazaar, Real Simple, Ms., and Portland Monthly. Her writing has been published in Granta, Slice, The Massachusetts Review, Zyzzyva, Guernica, Catapult, Times Literary Supplement, The Independent, Sierra Magazine, and elsewhere. She is the founder and editor ofPeaceful Dumpling, an online magazine at the intersection of sustainable lifestyle and ecological literature. She has received fellowship support from the Bread Loaf Environmental Writers' Conference, the Regional Arts & Culture Council, and Virginia G. Piper Center for Creative Writing at Arizona State University. She earned her BA in Art and Archaeology from Princeton University.

SHOW NOTES: Steven Spielberg created Jaws and Close Encounters. He used technology for the shark and the spaceship. But he used talent for the creation. Pablo Picasso famously relied on Ripolin, a quick-drying, glossy commercial house paint, instead of traditional artist oils. For tools, he used oversized, long-handled bristle brushes, and stiff palette knives for impasto textures. But the painting Guernica was the result of his talent. Bach created the Brandenburg concertos and the musical advancements that most helped him were the rise of flexible "well-temperament" tuning and the rapid development of the Italian concerto style. Together, these innovations allowed him to achieve his legendary harmonic complexity and contrapuntal mastery. But the talent was already there. Houdini created incredible illusions and escapes using hidden keys, sleight of hand, mirrors, and secret hatched. But the design and the implementation were due to his talent. Focus on your talent, not technology. A microphone can enhance volume but won't help you to naturally sing on key. Superb skis and advance waxes can help your skiing speed and control, but are no replacement for quick reflexes and physical stamina. Technology, whether AI or a remote control, can enhance your abilities and success, but they can't replace your judgment and native talent, unless you try to allow them to, which will only atrophy your unique abilities.

This was a terrific Wednesday crossword, with an exceedingly well timed  and executed theme, combined with some excellent cluing exsewhere, er, elsewhere.

Malinconia dei confini. Nord è l'ultimo romanzo dello scrittore francese Mathias Énard ed è il primo volume di una trilogia legata alle stagioni e ai punti cardinali. Il nuovo film di Pedro Almodóvar, Amarga Navidad, è una riflessione sull'autofinzione e sulla natura della creazione artistica. Alla fondazione Rovati di Milano una mostra curata dallo storico dell'arte e archeologo Salvatore Settis s'interroga sulla ricorrenza di un gesto che esprime dolore: dai sarcofagi romani a Guernica di Picasso.Yekatit 12 di Andrea Sestante è una graphic novel che racconta la resistenza etiope contro il colonialismo italiano fascista.

Visto lo visto, yo me pregunto qué tendría que pasar para que el PNV apoyara esa moción instrumental que devolviera la voz al pueblo. Me pregunto cuál es el límite, si es que existe, cuál sería ese lugar de no retorno que les hiciera decidir que ya está bien, hasta aquí hemos llegado, que un segundo más de complicidad sería intolerable. En realidad, lo que me estoy preguntado es hasta qué punto el PSOE puede seguir humillando al Partido Nacionalista Vasco delante de sus votantes y cuántas genuflexiones ante el PSOE son capaces de soportar los vascos.Cuando yo era joven el PNV al menos era serio, tenía un discurso…digamos de dignidad, de orgullo. No me imagino yo a Arzalluz o a Ardanza sometidos a unos fontaneros corruptos, como hace ahora Aitor Esteban.De Junts no espero nada porque nada se puede esperar de un partido golpista. ¿Pero el PNV? No les parece suficiente dos secretarios generales del PSOE en la cárcel, ni con el fiscal general convertido en delincuente.Pero es que, por lo que vemos, tampoco es suficiente con que el expresidente, negociador, canciller, presidente honorifico, joyero, minero, rescatista y líder espiritual Zapatero lidere una organización de tráfico de oro y petróleo y tenga una caja fuerte como de dictadorzuelo centroamericano, a costa de la desgracia y la tortura de un pueblo especialmente unido al vasco, como es el venezolano.Hemos visto de todo, Carlos. Pero te reconozco que nunca pensé ver al PNV recibiendo órdenes del amo. Si esto se alarga, en Ferraz acabarán llamando batzoki a la caseta del perro. Y en vez de llevarse el Guernica a Bilbao, lo mismo se conforman con ir ellos a Ferraz a ver las colecciones reales de Sonsoles. Y, ya a la vuelta, cambiar el retrato de Sabino Arana por uno de Julito Martínez.

Kathy puts the kibosh on our introductory weather ramblings, Slushies. Instead we're sharing what makes us grateful. Seems like, with our combined love of coffee, we're keeping the baristas in business. Aside from java, Tobi's thankful for poetry podcasts (not just ours), including Poem Talk from Penn Sound. Lisa's grateful for the public library that gives her free access to novels like The Copywriter by Daniel Poppick. Eric appreciates his students. And we reveal the secret behind why we're not on YouTube. Of course we're thankful to YOU for listening, Slushies, and to the writers who allow us to discuss their work, like today's featured poet, Sarah Brockhaus.   In the first poem, “Still Here,” Eric notes the honest intertwining of the writing and teaching life. And Tobi remarks how the flexible nature of the English language, with its ability to shift nouns into verbs, is on display in the poem. The poem's nimble leaps reminds Jason of Richard Siken's valuable advice to “focus less on the lyric leap and more on the lyric landing.” The second poem challenges us with its frequent use of enjambment and caesura, but the ratio of challenge to pleasure is high. We end with Jason's sage advice on how to structure a submission. Thanks, as always, for listening, Slushies!   At the table: Eric Baker, Tobi Kassim, Jason Schneiderman, Kathleen Volk Miller, Lisa Zerkle, Lillie Volpe (Sound Engineer)   Author Bio: Sarah Brockhaus is an MFA student at Louisiana State University. She is a co-editor of The Shore Poetry. Her work has been nominated for Best of the Net and the Pushcart Prize and her poems are published or forthcoming in Guernica, The National Poetry Review, American Literary Review, The Greensboro Review and elsewhere. Website: sarahbrockhaus.com Social Media:    Instagram: @sarahb._23   Blue Sky: scbrock.bsky.social   Still Here   I try to teach  my students to exist outside  themselves and they email about double    spacing and panic apologize for 12:01 submissions  and I want to see them and say we're real  people, all of us, we're real. Do you see? But I stare    at my wall for hours and it means nothing. I've been losing  things in dreams, each shape afterimages on my lids  and I can't see the space around enough    to place them. Perhaps there never was a hairbrush, a magnet in the shape  of Louisiana, a letter written springs ago. Fingers trace    the handwriting by heart like revision,  same stories and script but the wrong  heart. I'm translating farther and farther   from the origin. My nails grow too long. I imagine  myself bodiless, avoid reflections. I hold still  and myself.    There are eight taxidermied ducklings at the craft fair. So like life and so  still. I want to break    them from the cage, find a way  for their bodies  to hold again.   Phonagnosia   A wasp taps again against  the window. I imagine the hollow  clunk communicating other causes: an acorn    slouching from a branch into a pool. A man's  head, drunk, hitting the wall lullabically, my hand  slid into the space between skin and cinder   -block, how one might protect a baby's soft  skull from a corner. I try to tell the wasp I am not  home and everything from my body sounds    human. To sleep I make lists on the uselessness  of language: the phrase how are you? and how your doing well is a wall I trace my own name    on like tally marks, how the sea swallows  song and estranges it, how without air I am voice -less, how I haven't trained my ear to echo locate,    and can't even vibrate some signal through a        pane  of glass, can't replay what you said years ago in any voice    but the one inside me, that won't go, won't sound  like anyone I know.

Pablo Picasso's Guernica is probably the most well known painting of the 20th century, and has become a universal symbol of the horrors of war. But it has also been the subject of renewed controversy in recent weeks in Spain - over a yet another request by the Basque government for the painting to be displayed at least temporarily in Bilbao. The current request comes ahead of the 90th anniversary of the bombing that the painting evokes - when during the Civil War the Nazi Condor Legion unleashed a relentless aerial assault on the Basque town.The long-running debate over moving the painting to the Basque Country centres on competing claims, with Basque sovereignists arguing that it should be displayed in the same location as the events it commemorates, against Spanish government's insistence it remain at Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid for reasons of conservation and national heritage. Today on Sobremesa, we discuss the controversy and the relationship between the work's power and universality and the concrete, historical atrocity inflicted on Gernika the town. To do so Eoghan is joined by Brittany Kennnedy, Senior Professor of Practice at Tulane University's Department of Spanish and Portuguese. Brittany is the author of Between Distant Modernities: Performing Exceptionality in Francoist Spain and the Jim Crow South.Please remember if you like what we are producing, consider making a donation to our buy me a coffee page:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/thesobremey⁠

This book was a vivid portrayal of queer desire. It didn't have a happy ending, but it had a positive ending.Today we meet Lynette D'Amico and we're talking about the queer book that saved her life: Carol by Patricia Highsmith.Lynette D'Amico is an essayist and fiction writer whose work has appeared in The Gettysburg Review, The Ocean State Review and at Brevity, Slag Glass City, Short Reads, and Guernica. Her memoir in essays Men I Hate, won the Gournay Nonfiction Prize and was published by Mad Creek Books in 2026. She holds an MFA from the Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College. She makes her home in Rhode Island, but she has a prairie eye.Originally published as The Price of Salt, Carol is based on a true story plucked from Highsmith's own life. It tells the riveting drama of Therese Belivet, a stage designer trapped in a department-store day job, whose routine is forever shattered by a gorgeous epiphany--the appearance of Carol Aird, a customer who comes in to buy her daughter a Christmas toy. They fall in love and set out across the United States, ensnared by society's confines and the imminent disapproval of others, yet propelled by their infatuation.Patricia Highsmith was the author of more than twenty novels, including Strangers on a Train, The Price of Salt and The Talented Mr. Ripley, as well as numerous short stories.Connect with Lynettewebsite: lynettedamico.cominstagram: @sicilianblade2substack: substack.com/@lynettedamicoOur BookshopVisit our Bookshop for new releases, current bestsellers, banned books, critically acclaimed LGBTQ books, or peruse the books featured on our podcasts: bookshop.org/shop/thisqueerbookBuy your copy of Carol here: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9780393325997Buy your copy of Men I Hate: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9780814259696Become an Associate Producer!Become an Associate Producer of our podcast through a $20/month sponsorship on Patreon!

Por trás de aclamadas personalidades há um lado obscuro que ninguém está olhando. Neste programa documental e cheio de mistérios, abordaremos a face oculta das principais personalidades e instituições. Nesta edição: Pablo Picasso. __________ Pablo Picasso é amplamente reconhecido como um dos maiores gênios da arte moderna e o pioneiro do cubismo. Suas obras, como Guernica e As Jovens de Avignon, redefiniram a estética e a expressão artística do século XX. No entanto, por trás das telas consagradas e dos leilões milionários, esconde-se uma trajetória marcada por narcisismo, crueldade e destruição psicológica de entes próximos. Este documentário investiga o lado sombrio do pintor espanhol, detalhando o impacto devastador que ele exerceu sobre sua família e relacionamentos.

En este episodio de Arte compacto merendamos con Manuel Segade y charlamos sobre qué significa dirigir hoy el Museo Reina Sofía –cargo que ocupa desde 2023– y cómo un museo de arte contemporáneo se relaciona con la sociedad, las nuevas generaciones y los debates de nuestro tiempo.Nos centramos en la nueva planta 4 de la colección —dedicada al periodo que va desde 1975, desde la Transición española hasta la actualidad— y los nuevos relatos que el Reina propone sobre memoria, género, afectos y sida, con artistas como Maruja Mallo, Ocaña, Nazario, Esther Ferrer, David Wojnarowicz, Espaliú, Pepe Miralles o Barceló.Hablamos del Guernica como principal icono del museo y de la manera en que está escalando posiciones de popularidad nuestra amada Ángeles Santos Torroella con Un mundo, de cómo se plantean las adquisiciones en ARCOmadrid y fuera de las ferias, del futuro del museo… y –muy importante– de por qué el Reina quizá sea, efectivamente, el auténtico Prado del Gay.

"The Chronology of Water story was an 11-page story written in tiny fragments. And the MFA program I was in, they told me, that's not a story. It's a poem or something. It's a list of fragments. I'm like, 'Fuck you!' My whole enterprise has been to trouble the edges," says Lidia Yuknavitch, bestselling author of several books, most recently a memoir titled Reading the Waves.Lidia Yuknavitch makes her thrilling return to the podcast, this a live recording of the show at Gratitude Brewing in Eugene in partnership with the revival of the Northwest Review. My understanding is that there's a significant literary prize, including creative nonfiction essays. You might want to try you filthy animals. The Northwest Review was the first place that ever published Lidia, a short, 11-page story called the Chronology of Water, so, maybe YOU could be the next Lidia Yuknavitch, though we know that's impossible so don't even try.She's the author of eight books of fiction, nonfiction, and the editor of an essay collection on menopause called The Big M. She's best known for her memoir, or anti-memoir called The Chronology of Water, the novels Thrust, Verge, and The Small Backs of Children. And her most recent nonlinear, fractured memoir is the brilliant Reading the Waves.She won the Oregon Book Award in 2016 and also stood on the TED stage and delivered a beautiful talk about misfits. Her work has appeared in Guernica, Ms., and Another Chicago Magazine. She founded the workshop series Corporeal Writing in Portland, Oregon. She is a very good swimmer.We talk about: Getting rid of the good/bad binary Writing in a group setting Inventing your own rituals The beautiful and the brutal living next to each other Taking your turn Troubling the edges Being good compost And how her market days are over and she's cool with thatYou'll want to pair this episode with 217, Lidia's first time as well as: Episode 447: Brooke Champagne Sits Back from the Suckitude Episode 498: Sasha Bonet on Not Holding Back, and Episode 123: Elena Passarello on Listening to the book, Polaroids, and Self-DoubtDig it, friend.Order The Front RunnerWelcome to Pitch ClubShow notes: brendanomeara.com

Alex unpacks a charged cultural dispute over Guernica by Pablo Picasso, as Madrid clashes with Basque leaders over whether the iconic anti-war painting should be moved from Museo Reina Sofía—raising deeper questions about who “owns” national symbols. He then breaks down Spain's push, led by Pedro Sánchez, to suspend the EU–Israel agreement and why much of Europe isn't backing it. Finally, Alex covers the shocking bullring incident in Seville where matador José Antonio Morante de la Puebla was seriously gored mid-performance, turning a comeback into a crisis.

I never thought I'd be glued to my screen this early on a crisp April morning in 2026, but here I am, coffee in hand, scrolling through the latest legal fireworks swirling around President Donald Trump. Just days ago, on April 1st, the Supreme Court chambers in Washington, D.C., echoed with oral arguments in Trump v. United States, a blockbuster case challenging Executive Order 14160. Rutgers Law School professors are calling it one of the most pivotal issues of the year, as it questions whether Trump's order redefining birthright citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment and the Immigration and Nationality Act holds water. Picture this: the justices grilling lawyers over who qualifies as a U.S. citizen by birth, with Trump's team arguing it bolsters national security while opponents cry foul on constitutional grounds. Rutgers Law highlights how this could reshape immigration law overnight, sending shockwaves through families across America.But that's not all keeping me up at night. Fast-forward to April 7th, and G37 Chambers' International Legal News roundup drops a bombshell from the White House. They're defending Trump amid Middle East tensions, stating outright that "the US President, Donald Trump was making the entire region safer." It's tied to broader foreign policy moves, like Syria's new Investment Arbitration Centre in Damascus, launched post-Assad to lure investors—moves Trump champions as stabilizing the chaos. Guernica 37's weekly updates from the International Criminal Court and European Court of Human Rights paint a picture of global legal chess, with Trump's administration pushing back hard.Shifting gears to the courts back home, the Southern District of New York is heating up with a wild twist on sanctions. The National Law Review reports that the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control issued then revoked a license for legal fees to defend former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores de Maduro. They're on the SDN List, facing narcotics and firearms charges after a dramatic U.S. Army rendition via Operation Southern Spear. Maduro's lawyers are firing back, claiming it guts their Sixth Amendment right to counsel and Fifth Amendment due process—echoes that make you wonder if similar sanction snags could ever loop in U.S. political heavyweights like Trump.Meanwhile, the Supreme Court's fall 2025 arguments in Fernandez v. United States and Rutherford v. United States linger like a storm cloud, potentially curbing judges' power on compassionate releases for prisoners. Rutgers Law notes this could trap countless inmates in "extraordinary and compelling" limbo, a reform battle Trump-era policies have fueled.As the sun rises here on April 15th, these threads weave a tapestry of power, borders, and justice that's anything but sleepy. From the Supreme Court's marble halls to Damascus streets, Trump's legal orbit keeps the world spinning.Thanks for tuning in, listeners.

In this episode of the Straight White American Jesus Sunday Interview, host Leah Payne speaks with award-winning journalist and historian Caleb Gayle about his acclaimed book Black Moses: A Saga of Ambition and the Fight for a Black State. Caleb Gayle is an award-winning journalist and professor at Northeastern University. He is the author of We Refuse to Forget: A True Story of Black Creeks, American Identity, and Power and a contributing writer at The New York Times Magazine. His work has also appeared in The Atlantic, TIME, The Guardian, Guernica, The New Republic, and The Boston Globe. Longlisted for the National Book Award for Nonfiction, named one of The Washington Post's Best Nonfiction Books of the Year, and selected as a New York Times Editors' Choice, Black Moses tells the remarkable story of Edward McCabe, a Black political leader who nearly succeeded in founding a Black-governed state in the Oklahoma Territory at the turn of the twentieth century. Together, Payne and Gayle explore McCabe's ambitious political vision, the racial politics of the American West, and the broader historical context of Reconstruction, westward expansion, and Indigenous displacement. The conversation also reflects on how forgotten stories like McCabe's challenge familiar narratives about American democracy, race, and political imagination. In this episode: The cinematic structure of Black Moses and how Gayle and his editor shaped the narrative Who Edward McCabe was and why his story has largely disappeared from mainstream American history McCabe's audacious plan to create a Black state in the Oklahoma Territory The Reconstruction-era search for Black self-determination and how McCabe's vision differed from projects in Liberia or Haiti The American West as a site of competing dreams—and conflicts—among Black settlers, white settlers, and Indigenous nations McCabe's political strategy: organizing, coalition building, and attracting Black migration to Oklahoma Why Oklahoma ultimately aligned itself with Jim Crow politics during statehood The unfinished project of American democracy and the importance of political imagination Black Moses: A Saga of Ambition and the Fight for a Black State by Caleb Gayle Can the Rodeo Save a Historic Black Town?

On today's show, host Esty Dinur is in conversation with writer Hooman Majd about the escalating Israel-US war on Iran and how these countries are expanding the war to Lebanon, the Gulf States, and beyond. Majd describes the constant barrage of bombs on Tehran, how Israel is displacing Lebanese people, and that the death toll is growing. This week, Iranian leaders marched in the streets of Tehran projecting unity and defiance as the war reaches two weeks.  Majd says there's no sign that Israel or the US are going to end the war, and there's no sign that Iran is going to surrender or negotiate a ceasefire. Despite Trump's claims that he would pick the next leader of Iran, Iranian leadership appointed Mojtaba Khamenei as the country's new Supreme Leader.  They also discuss the restrictions on foreign journalists in Iran, how the attacks on Iran come on the heels of Trump's assault on Venezuela, how fundamental religious figures are shaping the war, and the creation of a new refugee crisis in Lebanon and this crisis could spread to Iran if the US deploys ground troops. Hooman Majd is an Iranian-American writer, and the author of three books on Iran, including the New York Times bestseller The Ayatollah Begs to Differ. His new book, a memoir, is Minister Without Portfolio: Memoir of a Reluctant Exile. Majd has also written for The New Yorker, GQ, Newsweek, The New York Times, The New Republic, Time, Vanity Fair, The Financial Times, Foreign Policy, Foreign Affairs, Politico, and Interview Magazine, among others. He is a contributor to NBC News. He has published short fiction in literary journals such as Guernica and The American Scholar. He lives in New York City.

Todd Miller, a journalist and author specializing in the militarization of the U.S. border, argues that the current expansion of CBP and ICE is a bipartisan trend spanning decades, rather than a phenomenon exclusive to any single administration. He describes a growing “border industrial complex” where private companies profit from surveillance technologies like robotic dogs, AI towers, and biometric databases. These advanced tools and “extra-constitutional powers” are increasingly moving from the borderlands into the interior of the United States, impacting major cities and American citizens. He warns of a transitioning police state where digital walls and mass detention facilities are becoming normalized global standards.

The aerial bombardment that rained down on the Spanish city of Guernica in 1937 was one of the most shocking atrocities of the Spanish Civil War. Dan and David Brydan - historian of Modern Spain at King's College London - explain why this Basque town was targeted, how the attack unfolded and what it meant for civilians on the ground. They explore the political motives behind the raid as well as its enduring impact on Europe and trace how Guernica became a symbol of the horrors of modern warfare.Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.Sign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.
