"White Balls on Walls": Wie divers sind Museen? | DW | 26.05.2023
Moderne Kunst ist weiß, männlich, europäisch. Das zumindest ist das Bild, das manche Museen noch immer vermitteln. Die Dokumentation "White Balls on Walls" beleuchtet die Debatte um Diversität im Museum.#Museum #Diversität #diversity #Kunst #ModerneKunst #StedelijkMuseum #SammlungWeltkulturenMuseum #Kindl-ZentrumfürzeitgenössischeKunst #Inklusion #ReinWolfs

The Marxist Tradition
https://invidious.lunar.icu/watch?v=z6szCMhrSPM
#Prof #Wolff discusses the #history and #diversity of #Marxist #theories and #practices that comprise the Marxist #tradition. Wolff also explores why #Marxism draws renewed interest #globally now. Finally, a detailed examination shows how some #basic-insights from Marx's work are especially relevant to victims and critics of today's #capitalism and especially to those who seek transition to another, better system.

Diversity, equity and inclusion is a top priority for us at LS&Co., and it’s important to note we do not see AI-generated models as a sole solution.
Speaking about "inclusion" after exclusion of real human models - what a mad word...

It's International Day of Women and Girls in Science!
Achieving gender equity in STEM careers, education and applications means striving for more for marginalised women and girls, not only those with the most power and privilege.
Gender inequity also reaches beyond the binary.

Marylou-the story of a " belle expérience"-Paris.
Yesterday late morning, I walked into Chez Jeannette on the rue du Faubourg St. Denis, a wonderful old café full of real life, in one of the most diverse popular neighborhoods of central Paris.
I sat down and ordered a couscous for lunch and loved looking out over the crowd of working class neighborhood clientele.
At one point de door of the café opened and a young woman walked in wearing headphones, and asked the barman if she could have a café outside on the sidewalk. The mind is full of visual references, and this young woman reminded me powerfully of "Leila", the woman in the famous photograph made by my very good friend, the famous French photographer Edouard Boubat-arguably one of the most beautiful and enigmatic portraits in the history of photography.
When I exited the café after lunch, I approached this young woman sitting alone and introduced myself and told her I have been photographing people in Paris for many years and asked if I could make a photograph of her. She replied gently in French, "of course".
I sat down next to her, and we began to speak.
I told her she reminded me of "Leila" and showed her the photograph on my phone. She studied the photograph a long while and told me "she is beautiful". I asked her name and she told me, "Marylou". I asked her what she was listening to on her headphones and she told me "Janis Joplin".
This changed everything in an instant. A young 23 year old Parisian woman listening to Janis Joplin-this was a moment totally out of my past when I too was 23 years old. She told me she was also a big fan of Patti Smith. I asked her if she knew the music of Crosby, Stills and Nash, and mentioned that David Crosby had just passed-and she looked and to her surprise told me she found their music on her playlist.
In this moment I was transported back to when I was 23 and had just arrived in Paris to live for the rest of my life.
I made a few photographs and then we continued talking. Marylou is in her last year of school studying interior design. She lives across the street from this café-which is also only two blocks from a café where a horrible racist terrorist attack killing Kurdish immigrants had taken place only a few months ago.
While we spoke, twice homeless women stopped to ask her for a cigarette or change, and both times Marylou gave them something-telling me-"I always give to women".
At one moment-a very natural expression on her face caught my attention and I said to her, "please don't move-this is wonderful". I made a photograph and she said, "I am less "impressionée"-which can be translated in many ways-but in this instance-meaning "more relaxed now". I told her that this worked both ways for me as a photographer-when I enter a new neighborhood, or place, a wonderful encounter can open up a whole new world of possibility in my mind and eases my heart and being.
We continued to speak for awhile, and eventually I got up and thanked Marylou and told her I would send her a photograph later in the day.
When I arrived home, I sent a portrait and thanked Marylou for this moment. An hour later I received a note back:
"Bonsoir peter, le plaisir était partagé.
Merci beaucoup pour cette belle expérience"
(Good evening Peter, the pleasure of this moment was shared. Thank you for this beautiful experience-Marylou)
Life is beautiful and so worth living.
With love.
