In this episode of The Truth In This Art, the guest is Simone Phillips!About Simone Phillips: Award-winning content creator and event curator behind Charm City Table, Baltimore's popular food and beverage platform with more than ten million impressions per month. She's become a trusted voice in Baltimore's culinary scene, highlighting the people, places, and stories that shape the city's food culture. She also curates vertical videos for the Maryland Film Festival and works closely with Parkway Theater.In our conversation, Phillips walks through her journey from starting Charm City Table in 2017 as a hobby to journal her dining experiences. Growing up, she didn't eat out much—Golden Corral and IHOP at church functions, but never exploring Baltimore's dining scene. After graduating college and moving back to Baltimore, she started exploring Harbor East, Fells Point, the Inner Harbor, Canton, and fell in love with all the options. That curiosity became her whole life.She shares her humanitarian approach to content creation—thinking about the restaurant owners and their feelings as creatives, but also the people spending their money who see something and get excited about visiting. We get into what it takes to build a sustainable brand voice rather than chasing virality, why Baltimore remains her intentional focal point even as she partners with national brands in New York, Chicago, and California, and what she believes is missing from Baltimore's food scene to take it to the next level: elevated service as an art form.Be sure to follow Charm City Table on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.Photo courtesy of subject.

Baxmann, Matthias www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Alltag anders

Tags, Graffitis, Murals – coole Schriftzüge, bunte Wandgemälde: früher waren sie als Sachbeschädigung und Schmierereien auf S-Bahnwagen oder an Brücken verschrien – heute sind sie zur Kunst geworden, zur "Street Art". Der Grafitti-Künstler Milo hat diese Entwicklung miterlebt. Seit 25 Jahren ist er aktiv, hat im Raum Ulm zahlreiche Bilder gesprayt. Jetzt gibt er Workshops an Schulen.

In this episode of The Truth In This Art, the guest is Louis-Antoine Gilbert!About Louis-Antoine Gilbert: French-American painter and artist known for his acrylic on canvas works that create the illusion of depth, living in Washington, DC for nearly a decade, creating colorful acrylic cityscapes inspired by brutalist and modernist architecture, art deco design, and graphic novels by Moebius, François Schuiten, and Benoît Peeters. His cubist-influenced work draws from M.C. Escher and Wassily Kandinsky, and he's also a musician, beat maker, and painting instructor.In our conversation, Gilbert talks through growing up in Paris with parents who brought him to free museums and concerts, first wanting to be an artist at age four after seeing an orchestra, and starting with graffiti following older kids in the streets. He connects his journey from Parisian punk bands to DC's basement show scene and digs into how DC's greenery—particularly Rock Creek Park—has transformed his gray, Parisian-inspired compositions into more hopeful work with vegetation. As he puts it, discovering DC made him realize "both cities, both of them have brutalist and modern buildings in them."He recalls meeting artist Autumn Spears early in his DC years, shares stories from selling affordable original drawings at the Little DuPont flea market every six weeks, and discusses learning that French house music actually originated from Detroit. We get into the realities of teaching painting in summers, the influence of graphic novels from his dad's collection, and how nearly a decade in DC has made him rethink the art deco shapes he loved from Paris.Be sure to follow Louis-Antoine Gilbert on Instagram at @antoine_paints to keep up with his work and future projects.Photo courtesy of subject.All views expressed by Louis-Antoine Gilbert are his own and not those of the Law Library of Congress or the Library of Congress The Truth In This Art is supported by William G.

In this episode of The Truth In This Art, the guest is Zoë Poindexter!About Zoë Poindexter: Documentary filmmaker, producer, and director based in Washington, DC. She attended journalism graduate school at Georgetown University, where she continues to work as a documentary teacher's assistant, and specializes in nonfiction storytelling.In our conversation, Poindexter walks through her journey to A Revolution Called Love, a feature documentary inspired by Black Love Day—a holiday created in DC in the nineties by Mama Ayo Handy-Kendi. After living in DC for almost ten years without ever hearing about it, she called the founder and asked to attend. She showed up in purple—the colors of Black Love Day, which happens to be her favorite color—stayed for the entire seven-hour ceremony, and came back saying, "Yes, this needs to be made into a film." The documentary is structured around the holiday's five tenets: love for the creator, love for yourself, love for family, love for community, and love for the Black diaspora. We explore how she's weaving community voices throughout—filming interviews with Black Washingtonians defining what those tenets mean to them, with select responses used as voiceover narration in the feature.She shares her commitment to telling positive stories that aren't clichés—"We have way too many clichéd stories about Black people, Black communities. I often ask myself, why do we need this again? Who is this actually being made for?" She hopes the film sparks conversation around what we think love is—a deeper dialogue about intention, community, and making work that's truly for us. This conversation came about through a shared passion for storytelling—and the belief that the stories we tell should actually be made for us.Be sure to follow the project (@blacklovedocfilm on Instagram, Black Love Documentary Film on Facebook) and visit BlackLoveDocumentary.com to learn more and support the crowdfund.

Eine spannende Reise durch Kunstgeschichte, Stadtkultur und die Macht der Kunstwelt.

In this episode of The Truth In This Art, the guest is Paloma Vianey!About Paloma Vianey: Interdisciplinary artist from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, now based in Washington, DC. She holds an MFA from Cornell University and has created large-scale public art installations along the US-Mexico border, with work exhibited at major museums and galleries internationally. She is primarily a painter and educator, teaching at the collegiate level.In our conversation, Vianey walks through her artistic journey from beginning to paint as a teenager when Juarez was labeled "the most dangerous city in the world," using art as catharsis during years of violence. She recounts completing a groundbreaking 72-foot-wide community-funded border bridge mural in 2018, depicting a girl blowing bubbles with each bubble representing emblematic images of Juarez including a tribute to femicide victims. We dig into her signature "Chamara" paintings—labor-intensive works where she hand-sews canvas jackets with industrial zippers over oil-painted urban landscapes of Juarez, creating what she calls "portraits of the city." One painting captured a pink house she'd see every time crossing the border—until one visit when she discovered it had been painted white. "That was a little heartbreaking for me," she shares, explaining how these works archive the changing memory of her hometown through a lens of resilience and hope.She shares insights on finding community in DC after moving six times in five years, her love for the U Street corridor (particularly Taqueria Xochi for authentic Mexican food), and how DC has been generous in giving her platforms to show her work. This conversation came about after I encountered Vianey's work at Umbrella Art Fair—a chance discovery that sparked a deeper dialogue about representation, resilience, and the power of challenging negative narratives through art.Be sure to follow Paloma Vianey (@palomavianey on Instagram) and visit palomavianey.com to keep up with her work and future projects. Her exhibition "Un Mismo Cielo Entre Washington y Juarez" is on display at the Mexican Cultural Institute in Washington, DC until July 25th.Photo courtesy of subject.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Unveiling the Mystery: Emese's Art Transforms Váci Utca Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-07-05-07-38-19-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Váci utca nyüzsgő forgatagában, a nyári napsütésben, a turisták kíváncsi tekintete figyelte az újonnan megjelent falfestményt.En: In the bustling hustle and bustle of Váci utca, under the summer sun, the curious eyes of tourists observed the newly appeared mural.Hu: A színes, vibráló műalkotás teljesen eltér a környező, történelmi épületektől, de mégis mintha valami mágiával kapcsolódna hozzájuk.En: The colorful, vibrant artwork was entirely different from the surrounding historical buildings, yet it seemed to connect to them with some kind of magic.Hu: Az emberek csoportokban álltak meg csodálattal nézve a különös festményt.En: People stopped in groups, admiring the unusual painting.Hu: Bence, egy fiatal művészeti hallgató, szinte minden nap végigsétált ezen a sugárúton.En: Bence, a young art student, walked down this boulevard almost every day.Hu: Ámulattal nézte az új mural részleteit, kíváncsi volt, ki lehet az alkotója.En: He gazed in awe at the details of the new mural, curious about who the creator might be.Hu: Annyira vonzotta a rejtélyes kép, hogy elhatározta, kideríti a művész kilétét.En: The mysterious image attracted him so much that he decided to uncover the identity of the artist.Hu: "Ez nem lehet más, csakis Emese munkája," mondta magában.En: "This can only be the work of Emese," he muttered to himself.Hu: Emese, a város titokzatos utcai művésze, akit senki sem látott még igazán.En: Emese, the city's mysterious street artist, whom no one had truly seen.Hu: Közben a közelben Réka, egy helyi idegenvezető, csoportjával haladt el az alkotás előtt.En: Meanwhile, nearby, Réka, a local tour guide, passed by the artwork with her group.Hu: "Ez csak falfirka," intette le az alkalmi csodálkozókat.En: "It's just graffiti," she dismissed the occasional admirers.Hu: Nem hitt a modern utcai művészet értékében.En: She did not believe in the value of modern street art.Hu: Szerinte csak megrontotta a város történelmi szépségét.En: In her opinion, it only tarnished the city's historical beauty.Hu: Bence és Réka nem sokkal később találkoztak össze.En: Not long after, Bence and Réka met.Hu: Bence próbálta meggyőzni Rékát, hogy a mural több mint egyszerű garázdaság.En: Bence tried to convince Réka that the mural was more than mere vandalism.Hu: Hosszasan beszélgettek a kultúráról és a művészetről.En: They had a long conversation about culture and art.Hu: Bence egyre mélyebbre ásta magát Budapest művészeti világába.En: Bence delved deeper and deeper into Budapest's art scene.Hu: Elemzett minden ecsetvonást, próbálva megfejteni Emese stílusát.En: He analyzed every brushstroke, trying to decipher Emese's style.Hu: Este szinte minden helyi művészeti összejövetelen jelen volt, remélve, hogy talál valami nyomot vagy egy említést Emese munkájáról.En: He attended almost every local art gathering in the evening, hoping to find some clue or mention of Emese's work.Hu: Egy éjjel, amikor város csendben pihent, Bence ismét az utcákat járta.En: One night, when the city was quietly resting, Bence roamed the streets again.Hu: Meglátta, hogy a távoli sarkon valaki épp egy újabb festményen dolgozott.En: He saw someone working on another painting in a distant corner.Hu: Emese volt az, kezében ecsettel, egy pillanatra megállt, majd folytatta alkotását.En: It was Emese, with a brush in hand, who paused for a moment, then continued her creation.Hu: "Emese!En: "Emese!"Hu: " szólította meg Bence.En: called Bence.Hu: A festő félrehajtott kapucnija alól egy titokzatos mosollyal fordult felé.En: The painter turned towards him with a mysterious smile from under her tilted hood.Hu: Hosszasan vitatkoztak az utcai művészet hatásáról a közösségre.En: They had a long debate about the impact of street art on the community.Hu: Emese elmondta, hogyan látja ő a világot a művészete által.En: Emese explained how she sees the world through her art.Hu: Bence engedett, hogy érvei meggyőzzék.En: Bence allowed her arguments to convince him.Hu: "Az önkifejezés nem mindig a múzeumokban történik," mondta Emese.En: "Self-expression doesn't always happen in museums," said Emese.Hu: Végül rájöttek, hogy ugyan jól különböznek nézeteik, mégis mindketten a művészet szeretetéből táplálkoznak.En: Eventually, they realized that despite their differing views, they both drew from a love of art.Hu: Másnap Bence Rékát hívta meg, hogy újra nézze meg a falfestményt, de most más szemmel.En: The next day, Bence invited Réka to look at the mural again, but with a different perspective.Hu: "Ez mégis több annál, mint aminek gondoltam," ismerte el Réka.En: "This is indeed more than I thought," Réka admitted.Hu: Azóta mindketten más szemmel nézték a város utcáin megjelenő művészi alkotásokat.En: Since then, both viewed the artistic creations appearing on the city streets with new eyes.Hu: Váci utca továbbra is helyet adott a múltnak és jövőnek, békésen megférve egymás mellett.En: Váci utca continued to accommodate both the past and the future, coexisting peacefully with each other.Hu: A nap végére Bence rájött, hogy a művészet nem csak papírra vetett képekben rejlik.En: By the end of the day, Bence realized that art does not only dwell in images on paper.Hu: Emese pedig talán sosem fedi fel teljesen kilétét, de munkája egy életre megváltoztatta Bence világképét és Rékát is nyitottabbá tette az újfajta művészi kifejezések irányába.En: Emese might never fully reveal her identity, but her work had changed Bence's worldview for a lifetime and made Réka more open to new forms of artistic expression.Hu: Váci utca nyara végül egy izgalmas új korszak kezdete lett a helyi művészeti világ számára.En: The summer in Váci utca ultimately became the beginning of an exciting new era for the local art world.

In this episode of The Truth In This Art, the guest is Miles Johnson!About Miles Johnson: Miles Johnson is a self-described "unclassically untrained oil painter" and mechanical engineer based in the DMV area. In over 4 years—starting with over a year on iPad before transitioning to oils 3 years ago—he has created numerous pieces. His late grandmother was a painter herself who created approximately 300 pieces and inspired his creative path. Miles first painted her portrait last summer for his solo show.Growing up, Miles would run cross-country to the Smithsonian, where Thomas Cole's four-part series "Voyage of Life" gave him a revelation: "I never thought that paintings were like almost manga panels." He also draws inspiration from Little Black Goat, incorporating anime-style faces into his work. Miles applies his engineering background with painting by creating bullet-point lists and maintaining over 200 pages of documentation in Google Docs. His research process studies figures like Fannie Lou Hamer—someone who was "born into sharecropping and ended up dying with a foundation that gave a million acres of land across Mississippi."Later we discussed Miles working on Common People Ain't Common, a 2025 undertaking. He made 100 pieces dedicated to celebrating the small moments in life and of the people he has observed.  His goal was to make this art affordable for the everyday people who supported him on his art journey. His aim is that these pieces will serve as a great investment for first-time collectors. His Instagram handle @MJonthewall pays homage to Michael Jackson's "Off the Wall" album.

Henry (B3 Beyond)Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know even more about return guest Henry. Previously known as "B3 Beyond", Henry previously appeared on the show back in December of 2024. Back then he was an anonymous graffiti / street artist. These days he has given up that life of crime, to become a more gallery focused artist. In this episode, we chat about his growing up in The U.K. and what made him switch his outlook and style from the street to the gallery. We cover some of the changes that made him lean in this new direction, and we also discuss some of that previous street art and where those pieces remain today. Now Henry's messaging seems to be focused on bringing attention to kidney disease; a condition that he is all too familiar with. Henry shares what his Kidney condition is, how long he has had it, and what it means for his everyday life. He also shares some startling information about who has it, how many suffer from it, and the staggering amount of folks who may not be aware that they have it. Then we discuss some of the finer points of his new art. He talks about some of the techniques he is working on and studying at university. Again, Henry resides in The U.K. just outside of London, but since we last spoke, he has made a trip across the pond, to The United States. I pepper him with questions about his trip, and where he went, and what he was doing here. Then he explains to me that while it was a refreshing change of scenery, it did inform some of the projects that he is working on. Some of Henry's current works have a decidedly political bent. As listeners of the show will know, we don't talk politics on Fascination Street; but we do deftly discuss his works and the reasons behind them. His art is beautiful, and you can see some of it on his Instagram page and his website. Both of which he shares in this episode. Make sure you check out his work, and if you are so inclined, grab a piece for yourself. I have a couple and they are major focal points on my studio wall.

In this episode of The Truth In This Art, the guest is Jacob Ming-Trent!About Jacob Ming-Trent: Acclaimed performer, playwright, and one of American Theater's people to watch. A celebrated artist bringing his solo play, How Shakespeare Saved My Life, to Washington, DC's Folger Theater, and later to The Public Theater in New York with Red Bull producing.In our conversation, Ming-Trent walks through his journey from a rough childhood in an abusive home to moving to New York at seventeen—having been homeless the previous year and recently dropped out of high school. He recalls the pivotal moment Shakespeare entered his life: at six years old, his father, an English major, mentioned the Bard alongside Amiri Baraka. Years later, he accidentally walked into the wrong classroom and was asked to read a Shakespeare speech. "It felt like home to me," he says. "The words were big enough to give context to my emotions that were inside."He digs into the origins of How Shakespeare Saved My Life, a play that poured out of him unexpectedly while working on a different project. The solo show follows a kid with a tough childhood who discovers Shakespeare and tries to use it to navigate his world—sometimes it works, sometimes it fails. "It's a raucous ride, it's outrageous, it's funny, it's sad, and in the end we experience some black joy," Ming-Trent shares. We discuss his decision to leave theater at 35 after feeling treated like "an affirmative action hire," his pivot to television in LA, and how a call from director Saheem Ali brought him back to the stage to lead Shakespeare in the Park in Merry Wives—which ultimately led to writing this play. He reflects on the influence of figures like Biggie, Tupac, James Baldwin, and Basquiat—all artists trying to save their lives through their work. He also talks about audience interaction, the differences between performing in Berkeley and DC, and why vulnerability and fear are necessary parts of telling personal stories.Be sure to follow Jacob Ming-Trent and catch How Shakespeare Saved My Life, running until July 5th at Folger Theater (201 East Capitol Street SE, Washington, DC). Tickets start at $20. The play is also published by Bloomsbury Publishing. After DC, the show heads to The Public Theater in New York. The Truth In This Art is supported by William G.

Ils peignent sur les murs de béton de nos villes, voire sur les transports publics. On les aime ou on les déteste. Autrefois appelés juste graffeurs, ils sont aujourd'hui de plus en plus considérés comme de vrais artistes, des artistes de rue. Certains sont devenus des stars, d'autres préfèrent l'anonymat. Les street artists sont à l'honneur dans une exposition à la Grande Halle de la Villette à Paris. Une forme de reconnaissance, peut-être aussi de récupération d'un mouvement culturel né dans la rue. De la rue au musée, comment le street art est-il devenu un art noble ? Un reportage d'Iris Hawker Dans le quartier du Sentier, dans le centre de Paris, deux street artists commentent leur dernière fresque. « C'est une façade qui appartient au bar l'Ivresse, explique Hugo, du tandem Tito/Mulk. Il y a une histoire un peu personnelle pour nous, parce qu'à l'époque où on avait encore peur de mettre de la peinture sur les murs, et qu'on faisait juste des collages, on avait fait ce mur. Et là on a été invités officiellement par une association d'art à Paris. » Mathieu, son acolyte grapheur, a décidé de prendre la ville pour toile. Il raconte la genèse du street art : « Au tout début, quand le tag est arrivé dans les années 1970 à New York, l'acte était politique parce qu'il était revendicatif, mais les thèmes abordés ne l'étaient pas. C'étaient que des gens qui marquaient leur nom. » Avec leur univers coloré, inspiré de la pop culture, ils ont décidé de porter des messages qu'ils qualifient eux-mêmes d'impertinents. « Dans la rue, on veut dire des choses. Effectivement, on fait partie des gens qui pensent que le street art et l'art en général doivent être politiques. Il l'est de toute façon parce que c'est une prise de parole en public », s'exclame Mathieu.  Ces dernières années, l'art de rue n'a cessé de gagner en reconnaissance, et même auprès d'un public inattendu, comme Monique, cette riveraine de 78 ans, qui se réjouit de pouvoir admirer l'art de la rue : « J'habite dans le quartier depuis 33 ans, j'aime beaucoup, ça fait partie de l'évolution de l'art. »  Et c'est justement cette évolution qui interroge. Comment préserver l'essence d'un art pensé pour être libre et gratuit, quand il s'institutionnalise et se commercialise ? L'exposition, Beyond the streets, présente en ce moment, à Paris, des œuvres de Shepard Fairey ou Invader. Pour son curateur, le grand collectionneur Roger Gastman, le fait que le street art s'académise n'est pas un problème, c'est le signe d'un rêve américain réalisé.  « Nous travaillons avec des artistes qui, pour la plupart, ont à la fois de grandes carrières dans les musées, mais aussi des projets institutionnels, explique Roger Gastman. Une grande partie de ce qu'ils font aujourd'hui en intérieur diffère de ce qu'ils faisaient autrefois illégalement dans la rue, mais ils ont su trouver le moyen de canaliser cette énergie et de la transposer dans leur peinture. »  Roger Gastman a vu beaucoup d'artistes graffeurs transformer leur travail et se propulser sur la scène urbaine internationale. Il considère que : « tout le monde grandit, et tant de personnes qui étaient autrefois considérées comme des vandales, des ratés ou des voyous sont aujourd'hui des directeurs artistiques, des chefs d'entreprise, des personnalités à part entière de la société ». Être légitime dans la rue, ou reconnu au musée ? La nouvelle génération ne veut plus choisir. Hugo et Mathieu, de Tito/Mulk, n'ont pas peur des paradoxes, ils travaillent avec les marques et dénoncent leurs travers, car selon eux : « Le but d'une publicité, c'est plutôt de ramollir le cerveau, pour pouvoir mieux faire passer son message. Nous, au contraire, on essaye plutôt de faire réfléchir les gens, de les emmener eux-mêmes à certaines conclusions. » Si certains trouvent leurs œuvres préférées dans les musées, d'autres les découvrent dans la rue. Pour Mathieu, « ce qu'on peut souhaiter au street art, c'est que les gens continuent à se promener dans la rue, à ouvrir les yeux et à s'émerveiller ».

Ils peignent sur les murs de béton de nos villes, voire sur les transports publics. On les aime ou on les déteste. Autrefois appelés juste graffeurs, ils sont aujourd'hui de plus en plus considérés comme de vrais artistes, des artistes de rue. Certains sont devenus des stars, d'autres préfèrent l'anonymat. Les street artists sont à l'honneur dans une exposition à la Grande Halle de la Villette à Paris. Une forme de reconnaissance, peut-être aussi de récupération d'un mouvement culturel né dans la rue. De la rue au musée, comment le street art est-il devenu un art noble ? Un reportage d'Iris Hawker Dans le quartier du Sentier, dans le centre de Paris, deux street artists commentent leur dernière fresque. « C'est une façade qui appartient au bar l'Ivresse, explique Hugo, du tandem Tito/Mulk. Il y a une histoire un peu personnelle pour nous, parce qu'à l'époque où on avait encore peur de mettre de la peinture sur les murs, et qu'on faisait juste des collages, on avait fait ce mur. Et là on a été invités officiellement par une association d'art à Paris. » Mathieu, son acolyte grapheur, a décidé de prendre la ville pour toile. Il raconte la genèse du street art : « Au tout début, quand le tag est arrivé dans les années 1970 à New York, l'acte était politique parce qu'il était revendicatif, mais les thèmes abordés ne l'étaient pas. C'étaient que des gens qui marquaient leur nom. » Avec leur univers coloré, inspiré de la pop culture, ils ont décidé de porter des messages qu'ils qualifient eux-mêmes d'impertinents. « Dans la rue, on veut dire des choses. Effectivement, on fait partie des gens qui pensent que le street art et l'art en général doivent être politiques. Il l'est de toute façon parce que c'est une prise de parole en public », s'exclame Mathieu.  Ces dernières années, l'art de rue n'a cessé de gagner en reconnaissance, et même auprès d'un public inattendu, comme Monique, cette riveraine de 78 ans, qui se réjouit de pouvoir admirer l'art de la rue : « J'habite dans le quartier depuis 33 ans, j'aime beaucoup, ça fait partie de l'évolution de l'art. »  Et c'est justement cette évolution qui interroge.

I don't remember the year I met Saša Bogojev, but I know that he and I both were finding our way in the world of contemporary art through a small passageway that was emerging in a tunnel called Street Art. I think he and I both saw that there was a camaraderie, a friendship, a bond in that scene that was applicable to a greater contemporary art world, a language of access that could be used in describing a greater art lexicon and language. So here we are, nearly 15 years later, and Bogojev has gone from Juxtapoz contributing editor to become a leading writer, curator and organizer of a wave of emerging art that is both international and vital to the health of the overall art market. And, for the last half-decade, Bogojev, The Unibrow's regular contributor and an editor-at-large, has been a curator and creative artistic director of the CAN Art Fair in Ibiza (and this year, Madrid). This is what I wanted to talk to him about; how the future of the art fair as an entity and the position that CAN has taken over the course of 5 years. We also talk about the increased pressure on the art world, the expectations, the bigger audiences, the draws, the incredible talent we see internationally and the language that we use to historically place it in the world-at-large. We also talk about some of the subjects he loves to write about, how his passion for the arts shows up in his writing, and those little avenues you can find yourself walking down that end up in bigger conversations about arts and culture.

Split, Essex, Tübingen – Sara hat sich ihren Weg durch die Welt gewiggled. Zusammen mit Lokallegende-Addi geht's um das Leben zwischen Sprachen, Kulturen und Kreativität – und was das alles mit dem eigenen Kopf macht. Sara hat dazu ihre ganz eigenen Takes: ein Kurzfilm ganz ohne Worte, Street Art, Illustration. Überlebt so eine Kunstseele den Agenturalltag oder wird sie dadurch sogar beflügelt? Im Sitzen widmen sich die Artys dem Spagat zwischen persönlicher Kreativität und kommerziellem Kundenwunsch. Denn mit Sara ist endlich jemand im Studio der Addis Sprache spricht – Dänglisch.

¡NOS DAN COBA EN ESTA LLAMADA! Tras atiborrarnos de sobrasada alicantino-mallorquina, metemos primera, segunda y tercera (porque la cuarta le rasca al Supermirafiori) y ponemos rumbo al norte. Cruzamos a la provincia de Castellón, recorriendo unos 185 kilómetros por la AP-7 y la CV-20, adentrándonos en la comarca del Alto Mijares. Llegamos a un pueblo que ha reventado los esquemas de lo que significa ser barbaciado: Fanzara. Fanzara cuenta con apenas 273 habitantes. Su gentilicio es fanzarino o fanzarina. Hasta hace no mucho, este era el típico pueblo donde la edad media superaba la velocidad máxima de la carretera nacional. Un pueblo que languidecía, conocido si acaso por su agricultura y porque por allí pasa el río Mijares. Pero en 2014 pasó algo histórico. El ayuntamiento de entonces quería montar un vertedero de residuos tóxicos. Los vecinos, que son fanzarinos pero no tontos, dijeron que el vertedero se lo pusieran en el salón de su casa. Hubo una bronca tremenda, el pueblo se dividió, y el ambiente se cortaba con un cuchillo. Para curar las heridas y unir a la gente, a un grupo de vecinos se le ocurrió invitar a grafiteros para pintar las paredes del pueblo. Y así nació el MIAU: Museo Inacabado de Arte Urbano. Hoy en día, Fanzara es una meca mundial del Street Art. Hay más de 150 murales gigantescos pintados en las fachadas de las casas, en los pajares y en los muros. Imaginaos la estampa: señoras de 80 años con bata de boatiné, llevándoles croquetas y mistela a grafiteros japoneses, rusos y brasileños que están subidos en una grúa pintando un robot gigante en la pared del corral. Es la globalización bien entendida. Fanzara recibe miles de turistas al año solo para ver las paredes. Antes de los grafitis, la historia del pueblo era la habitual: íberos, romanos y musulmanes. Tienen el Castillo de Fanzara, que está en estado de ruina progresiva (como mis ahorros), y la Iglesia de la Asunción, del siglo XVII, de estilo barroco desornamentado, o lo que es lo mismo, que se les acabó el presupuesto para adornos. Sus fiestas patronales son en octubre, dedicadas al Santo Sepulcro, a San Roque y a San Juan. Pero el festival gordo es el MIAU, en julio, cuando el pueblo se llena de artistas, música, talleres y gente moderna con barbas muy arregladas y gafas de pasta. En lo gastronómico, la "olla de col" reina en las casas fanzarinas; un guiso denso de verduras, cerdo y legumbres que te prepara el cuerpo para ver tres horas de arte urbano sin desfallecer. Lo verdaderamente mágico del MIAU no es solo que te pinten un mural de cinco metros en la tapia del corral. Lo espectacular es que los vecinos acogen a estos artistas internacionales en sus propias camas y casas. Imaginaos a un grafitero de Brooklyn desayunando magdalenas mojadas en leche con la señora Carmen antes de irse a darle al spray. Un intercambio cultural que ni las becas Erasmus. Además, para bajar la contundente olla de col, el pueblo ofrece unas pozas espectaculares para el baño en el río Mijares y rutas senderistas de primera, como la subida a la Cueva de la Muela. Un entorno natural maravilloso donde el único lienzo es la roca de la montaña y donde los jabalíes, por suerte, todavía no entienden de arte contemporáneo.

Im Stadtteil Mount Pleasant werden Hauswände zu offenen Archiven. Murals berichten von Migration, Identität und kolonialer Vergangenheit. Kunst wird hier Teil des Alltags und zugleich politisches Statement.Von dort geht es auf Schienen durch die Rocky Mountains: Der Luxuszug Rocky Mountaineer inszeniert Kanada als spektakuläre Landschaftserfahrung. Doch unter den Gleisen liegen die kaum erzählten Geschichten chinesischer Arbeiter, die unter gefährlichen Bedingungen die transkontinentale Eisenbahn errichteten.Michael Marek war für uns dort.

Jahrelang führte Kai Imhof ein Doppelleben: tagsüber Kai, nachts „Raws" – Sprüher, immer in Sorge vor der Hausdurchsuchung. Was er daraus über Angst, Selbstbild und den Mut zur eigenen Handschrift gelernt hat, ist das Herz dieser Folge. Heute ist Raws etablierter Urban Artist, hat das Buch „Intentions" veröffentlicht, stellt international aus und kollaboriert mit großen Marken – ohne seine Wurzeln in der Graffiti-Szene zu verleugnen. Im Wisdom Wednesday teilt er die fünf Dinge, die er gerne schon mit 20 gewusst hätte. Wir sprechen darüber, warum es befreit, anderen die Macht über dein Selbstbild zu nehmen, was er beim Thema Geld viel zu spät gelernt hat, wie er den „Sellout"-Vorwurf der Szene wegsteckt – und warum er sich heute mehr Mut und Radikalität wünscht. Du erfährst... ...wie Kai Imhof die Balance zwischen künstlerischer Freiheit und Marktnachfrage meistert. ...warum finanzielle Bildung und Mut entscheidend für kreative Karrieren sind. ...wie persönliche Entwicklung und authentische Kunst miteinander verwoben sind. __________________________ ||||| PERSONEN |||||

the autumn breeze moved yellow and orange leaves along the cobblestone streets.Es: Las paredes del barrio eran un lienzo inmenso de colores brillantes y formas audaces.En: The neighborhood's walls

Il n'y a pas que le skate qui utilise la ville comme terrain de jeu. La rue est aussi la toile des artistes de Street art. C'est cet espace qui définit les contours de leurs œuvres. YGREK est un artiste urbain de Genève. D'abord graffeur, il a ensuite développé son propre style, qui consiste à scotcher son nom d'artiste sur des clôtures. Discret, YGREK pose sa marque illégalement, la nuit, à Genève. Des œuvres originales et éphémères, conçues pour être vues par le plus de monde possible. Alors quoi de mieux qu'un grillage à proximité d'une entrée d'autoroute ? Reportage de Quentin Bohlen Réalisation : Rodolphe Bauchau. Première diffusion le 20 janvier 2020.

In dieser Samstagsfolge begleiten wir den NZZ-Korrespondenten David Signer auf eine Reise nach Dalston, einem der spannendsten Viertel im Londoner Osten. Er besucht den alten Markt, der mit nigerianischen Perücken und Heilkräutern aus Haiti seine multikulturelle Seele bewahrt, und hört Anekdoten über höfliche Drogendealer vor legendären Jazzclubs. Einst als Industrie- und Arbeiterviertel bekannt, durchlief der Stadtteil nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg eine Phase der Verelendung, geprägt von Kriminalität und Drogen. In den 80er Jahren war die Gegend so berüchtigt, dass Taxifahrer sich weigerten, dort hinzufahren. Doch um die Jahrtausendwende änderte sich alles: Künstler und Musiker entdeckten die günstigen Mieten und schufen eine inspirierende Atmosphäre. In dieser Episode erzählt David Signer von den verschiedenen Gesichtern der Gentrifizierung – vom sterilen Neubau am Dalston Square mit seiner "feindlichen Architektur" bis hin zum Gillette Square, wo immerhin etwas Gemeinschaft entstanden ist. Gast: David Signer, Korrespondent für Grossbritannien und Irland Host: Simon Schaffer Davids ganzer Text "Caffè Latte statt Crack", gibts zu lesen bei der NZZ.

Manchmal liegt das Beste ganz nah. Wie die Orte, die wir in dieser Folge zusammengestellt haben, die fast noch Geheimtipps sind: Das malerische Erfurt mit seiner Brücke, auf der eine ganze Fachwerk-Stadt zu stehen scheint. Leipzig, eine der schönsten Städte Europas, in der man mit dem Kanu nach Hause paddelt. Franken, mit mehr Brauereien pro Quadratkilometer als irgendwo sonst und Unterkünften in umgebauten Schäferwagen. Freiburg, wo die Innenstadt direkt in den Schwarzwald übergeht und samstags der Münstermarkt klingt wie ein kleines Volksfest. Und das hinreißende Görlitz, ganz im Osten, wohin sechs Oscars vergeben wurden (Tarantino, Clooney und Kate Winslet waren u. a da) und ein Schritt über den Fluss plötzlich Polen ist. Dazu übernachtet Jochen in einem alten Kloster, trifft eine Nonne mit Schäferhund und Michi erklärt, wie er eine 13 Meter lange Yacht gesteuert hat - ohne Führerschein.Schönes Wochenende!—

Wie ist es, in einem kleinen Fischerboot durch die Mangroven Cartagenas zu fahren? Wie verbunden sind die Menschen vor Ort mit der kolumbianischen Musik? Und wie fühlt und hört es sich an, durch die trubeligen, bunten Gassen der Altstadt zu laufen?In der zweiten Folge der Kolumbienreise ist Janna Olson wieder mit dem Mikro unterwegs - dieses Mal starten wir mit einem Gespräch mit dem Schweiz-Kolumbianischen Musiker Loco Escrito (Nicolás Herzig) über seine kolumbianischen Wurzeln - und darüber, warum er seinen neuen Song Colibri genannt hat.

We are raiding the Guardian long read archives to bring you some classic pieces from years past, with new introductions from the authors. This week, from 2022: For years Tsang Tsou-choi daubed his eccentric demands around Hong Kong, and the authorities raced to cover them up.

David Choe is a world-renowned artist, writer, podcaster and TV host. He tells how as a child, he was made to believe he was destined for greatness but also that he was a complete disgrace, leading him to channel his energy—including deep shame—into art that brought him global recognition. He shares about his addictions that put him on a decades-long cycle of extreme highs and lows and that forced him to eventually acknowledge and heal the childhood trauma he was battling inside. David shows up with raw, authentic presence to show us how we can transmute pain and shame into our best creative work and, more importantly, how complete vulnerability, especially about our hardest experiences, is the ultimate tool for forgiveness and self-acceptance. He also tells us the actual story about early Facebook, Pee-wee Herman and Santa Claus. Note: This conversation includes topics and language that may not be suitable for younger audiences.
