Prime Minister Boris Johnson has claimed that EU negotiators gave him no choice in this.

January 12, 2021 at 2:04 PM That doesn’t just mean to make the boulevard more environmentally friendly. “Anne Hidalgo said the planned work, unveiled in 2019 by local community leaders and businesses, would turn the 1.9 km (1.2 mile) stretch of central Paris into ‘an extraordinary garden’. … The eight-lane highway is used by an average of 3,000 vehicles an hour, most passing through, and is more polluted than the busy périphérique ring road around the French capital.” – The Guardian Tags: Art, Paris, Issues, Anne Hidalgo, 01.10.2153 people like this.

January 11, 2021 at 9:00 AM That’s not the only work making a claim that France has an extremely long way to go in reckoning with gender inequality in every arena of life, including and perhaps especially the arts. The author of I Hate Men: “Feminists have spent a lot of time and energy reassuring men that no, we don’t really hate them, that they’re welcome.

January 11, 2021 at 7:00 AM Writer Alyssa Cole explains why it makes sense that romance writers came together to raise money for Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock in the Georgia Senate runoff races (Stacey Abrams, who has engaged in massive voter turnout since her defeat at the ballot box in 2018, is also a romance writer under the pen name Selena Montgomery). “As far as romance novels and politics go, for people who are engaged in progressive politics, there is the link between the idea of optimism.

January 11, 2021 at 7:15 AM Can the arts return after more vaccinations and herd immunity? The investors certainly think so. “While traditional museums are discussing closures and mergers, the for-profit industry around experiential or immersive art is investing hundreds of millions of dollars into a business that currently has no audience in the U.S. because of the pandemic. It’s a gambit that has surprised market watchers.” – The New York Times Tags: Art, Visual, 01.10.21124 people like this. Like
