A new exhibition in western Germany is hoping to expand the public's perception of Africa via art and cultural history. “The True Size of Africa” is at the Völklingen Ironworks and features works by artists from across the continent. Photographic portraits, paintings, video installations, and sculpture—26 works that organizers say explore Africa, addressing its cultural history, intellectual traditions, and challenging stereotypes. “We underestimate the whole role in history and the own history Africa had before colonialism. All this is part of this show, and this is what we aim to show: how big the influence was from African people because they were forced to leave Africa,” explains Dr. Ralf Beil, the curator of the exhibition. Artists on show here come from countries across the continent, including Nigeria, Ghana, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Senegal, Namibia, South Africa, Ivory Coast, and Kenya. One particularly striking work by artist Roméo Mivekannin is made up of a large number of hanging portraits, including famous faces like that of former U.S. President Barack Obama and current Vice President Kamala Harris. Also on display are works by artists with African roots, including Cubans and the British. “The true size of Africa is not only basically the continent, the geographical continent of Africa, but also outside, expanding to other places in the world—Las Americas, the Caribbean, Europe. So for me, it's like a big family all over the world,” says Susana Pilar Delahante Matienzo, an artist from Cuba, now living in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Kongo Astronauts is a collective from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Their video installation uses the image of astronauts to take aim at the current situation in their country. “The world needs to be sincere about knowing that. And as an artist, in my way, I tried to convey that message via the astronauts,” says artist Pisko Crâne. Organizers say they hope the show will finally put an end to what they describe as “the underestimation” of the African continent. This article was provided by The Associated Press.
Hey there, music lovers. Welcome to Why Music Matters, a podcast where we examine the power and influence that music can wield in our lives. I'm your host, Jeff Miers. More than a decade back, I hopped on the bus as an embedded reporter, covering a Northeast jaunt for then up-and-coming indie band Aqueous. I'd never met any of the band members, or their manager, Josh Holtzman, previous to that road trip. By the end of that mini-tour, I knew that I'd laid the ground work for some friendships that, time has proven, were built to last. Today, Josh Holtzman and his business partner Grace Vesneske are the driving force behind premier music venue Buffalo Iron Works and independent production company Twenty6 Productions. Long before pundits were tossing around terms like “the Buffalo Renaissance,” Holtzman and Vesneske were working tirelessly to help resurrect the long-abandoned Cobblestone District of downtown Buffalo through their inventive and forward-looking booking at Iron Works. Their fighting spirit and never-say-die attitude helped them guide their businesses through the pandemic with their integrity intact. That same spirit has the pair excited about what the future holds, and what form their continuing contributions to Buffalo music and culture might take. Welcome to Why Music Matters, Josh Holtzman and Grace Vesneske.

Season four of SUPERMAN & LOIS picks up right where last season left off: with Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) and Luthor's monster locked in a ferocious, moon-wrecking battle, as Clark (Tyler Hoechlin) fights for his life against the seemingly unstoppable creature. Back on the ground, General Lane (guest star Dylan Walsh) struggles to stay alive after being kidnapped by Luthor's henchmen, while Lois (Elizabeth Tulloch), Jordan (Alex Garfin), and Jonathan (Michael Bishop) race against time to rescue him. But standing in their way is Lex Luthor (Michael Cudlitz) himself, who has permanently moved to Smallville as the next step in his malicious plan to destroy Lois Lane. Meanwhile, Lana Lang (guest star Emanuelle Chriqui) uses her position as Mayor to fight back against Luthor's schemes, a move which puts her in the sights of the most dangerous man in the world and threatens everything she holds dear. This includes her relationship with John Henry Irons (guest star Wolé Parks), who must put his Ironworks plans on hold and rejoin the DOD, now that General Lane is missing. But they aren't the only duo in trouble, as Chrissy Beppo (guest star Sofia Hasmik) and Kyle Cushing (guest star Eric Valdez) face an uphill battle of their own, with countless roadblocks that threaten to ruin their future together. Amid all the chaos, Sarah Cortez (guest star Inde Navarette) and Natalie Irons (guest star Tayler Buck) also join the fight against Luthor, while both facing impossible decisions about their paths in life. And as Clark's battle with the terrifying monster continues, Lois, her boys, and the world must face an unthinkable possibility: what if Superman never returns?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Welcome back to our fourth episode of a five-part miniseries exploring how a focus on local food builds relationships with people and the environment. If you haven't followed this miniseries, you may want to go back and listen from episode 26, Localizing the Regional Food System. In our last episode we explored some relationships that people have with their foodways and some of the impacts that are felt when these relationships are damaged. And we heard how some folks are restoring their communities' relationships with the land and with each other. If the community food web relationships are strong and vibrant, it may become possible to create a physical space that can be an active center to the web, providing enough general use attributes for the entire web to thrive. In this episode, we'll explore Vermont Farmers Food Center's plans to rejuvenate the historic buildings at 251 West Street in downtown Rutland, Vermont and build an urban food center on the site of the former Lincoln Iron Works. Buildings aren't usually what comes to mind when we envision a vibrant local food system. We may picture a densely cultivated field or perhaps a farmer chatting up customers at market, but like many background players, buildings- physical spaces to work, gather, warehouse, and create- play a vital role in our food system. In a globalized food system, buildings like this are often faraway and out-of-sight, increasing energy demands for transportation while decreasing accountability to the community of consumers. Likewise, our own towns and cities often have “out-of-sight” spaces that fall into decay after their initial era of usefulness has waned, sometimes even becoming dangerous liabilities for the community if left inactive for too long. 251 West Street in Rutland, Vermont is just this sort of site. The 2.9 acre industrial site hosted many forms of manufacturing over the past 170 years. Notably, the Lincoln Iron Works centered a thriving community that anchored families and adjacent businesses to Rutland, but like many manufacturing centers in the U.S. the gears eventually ground to a halt when the globalizing economy shifted this work elsewhere. Local historian, Jack Crowther, has researched this site's rise to prominence and subsequent fall into disuse. Adaptation and reuse of aging infrastructure provides a path forward that revitalizes neglected, once-thriving areas, and protects open spaces from unnecessary sprawl. Lyssa Papazian has been working for 30 years in historic preservation and is now based in Putney, Vermont. Vermont Farmers Food Center brought her in to assess the eligibility of the buildings at the 251 West St. site for listing on the national historic register. Lyssa says that historic preservation and adaptive reuse are starkly different. Preservation is important in some instances, but its use is narrowly appropriate. Today in Rutland, a local food movement is reigniting the community and the people that fill the historic architecture with purpose will adapt it to further use, ultimately keeping the spaces relevant. My grandfather Peter worked in the Lincoln Ironworks during its last great phase of output for the war effort. My great grandfather Pasquale worked in the Lincoln ironworks even before that in the 20's. During Pasquale's days at the Iron Works, the factory workers unionized and joined the American Steel Workers to push back against the power dynamics of that day's economy. Farmer and Vermont Food Center founder, Greg Cox, has shown similar determination that those fellas would have respected by having the audacity to revive an aging factory through a driven community effort, ultimately pushing back against the centralized power of today's global food system. In 2012, when area farmers and food producers needed more space, Greg saw the potential of 251 West Street. Farmer, author, and VFFC board member, Philip Ackerman-Leist, has learned that providing opportunity in the middle of the food system is a critical component to overall food system resiliency, and that a large former factory might be an ideal location for a community food web hub. In many ways 251 West Street is the ideal location. Unfortunately, sometimes our past catches up to us, and we are faced with confronting it. Before Vermont's farmers ever created organic food guidelines that pushed back against conventional chemical agriculture, that industrial chemical legacy was already entombed at 251 West Street from a long history of manufacturing and subsequent neglect. In 2021, as VFFC was furthering the reuse efforts of the site, an environmental assessment of the property revealed trichloroethylene or TCE contamination. TCE is a known carcinogen, and was likely left behind from industrial degreasers used in the mid 20th century. After the contamination was discovered VFFC shut down the old Iron Works building, now called Farmers Hall, on the 251 West Street site. This forced the winter farmers' market to relocate in the middle of the season and caused disruptions to the pandemic-era prepared meals program. The plan to adapt this piece of the city's industrial past to create new local food opportunities, seemed to be in jeopardy. The board and staff of Vermont Farmers Food Center had their work cut out for them. The folks at VFFC are addressing more challenges left over from an outdated globalized economy than they initially set out to, utilizing state money and grant money to do so. Lyle Jepsen, Executive Director at the Chamber and Economic Development for the Rutland Region is optimistic about the effect a food hub will bring to county wide redevelopment efforts. This time around the site's closure didn't stop all momentum and lead to further decay, this time there was a network built around the continual use of this space. Today's community food web was strong enough to overcome the weight of the site's history. On the next Root Words we'll hear how Vermont Farmers Food Center's remediation and adaptive renovation efforts are set to support the community food web and create a more circular, localized economy where we all thrive together. This episode was produced by Stephen Abatiell and Julia Anderson. Special thanks to Jack Crowther, Lyssa Papazian, Philip Ackerman-Leist, Greg Cox, Lyle Jepsen, and all of the people who have brought life to 251 West Street over the years.
