Surrealism Against Fascism • EQUATOR
A century ago, artists who survived the trenches captured humanity’s capacity for destruction. What can they teach us about confronting the far-right in a new age of genocide?

We are deeply concerned by a State’s use of the word “witch” to attack a UN expert in her report to the
#UNGA80
3rd Committee. Misogynistic gendered insults have no place in international dialogue and undermine women’s equality and the integrity and independence of UN mandates.

Le musée de Morlaix est fermé depuis 2017 avec des travaux très ralentis et une date de réouverture qui n’est même pas annoncée. Le musée de Brest vient de fermer jusqu’en 2029 (date annoncée). Reste-t-il des musées d’art dans le Finistère ou ont-ils tous été victimes du désengagement total?

If I could touch it the light would be almost warm as you following shape close to the shapes you have been as you slept. Brilliant work by Carola Luther, whom I have always admired.

I just saw the line, "Your body is opium and you are its only true smoker" in a poem and it reminded me to be grateful that I never did an MFA degree in poetry or any other kind of writing.

If this is accurate, WeTransfer is unusable for professional creative work. Would violate most work-for-hire contracts to share copyrighted material with a third party like this.

If I were a Liberal MP in anything other than a very safe riding, I'd either be organizing a caucus revolt, or I'd be dusting off my resume right now, because Carney is not the gifted politician that he thinks he is. Every day I see more people expressing regret for voting for him. Awful PM.
