He is, quite simply, our chosen Pope.”įind the complete radio program hosted by art critic and broadcaster Alastair Sooke on BBC Sounds or wherever you get your podcasts. As Rajendra Roy, The Celeste Bartos Chief Curator of Film at MoMA puts it, “John is the rarest of birds monumentally smart and unimpeachably irreverent. And art plays a big role in his life: Waters is also a writer, actor, comedian, photographer, and collector. ![]() Both Hairspray (1988) and Pink Flamingos (1972) have become cult classics. The results are often outrageous, self-consciously transgressive, and oozing with camp. ![]() ![]() As a filmmaker, Waters takes on taboo subjects and builds worlds in which there is no normal. In this episode of our new radio series collaboration with BBC, The Way I See It, John Waters looks at a painting by one of his favorite artists: Lee Lozano’s Untitled (1963)-an eight-foot painting of a hammer. She looked at every tool sexually, and with anger, and politically, and artistically-every possible way you can look at a hammer. ![]()

![]() There were elements that came into play later on in the story which were not even discussed earlier on in the story and I was very confused how they came into play or why they were relevant until they were involved. Kel Carpenter and Lucinda Dark have created a very complex world which was both a pro and a con. Quinn becomes more skilled and Lazarus obviously starts to fall more for the deathly weapon he has in his grasp. They both have their secrets and as their journey unfolds they both start to peel back them layers. A contract with some very bad stipulations if things change. ![]() Quinn is a Dark Magi and all she's trying to do is hide her powers until she gets confronted by Lazarus and offered a contract. ![]() ![]() Fortune Favors the Cruel is a Dark and gritty slow burn with lots of kick arse attitude from the heroine, Quinn. ![]() ![]() After thinking for a long, long time, sloth admits to being “slow, quiet and boring,” as well as “lackadaisical. ![]() ![]() A howler monkey, a caiman, an anteater, and a jaguar visit the sloth and ask him why he is so slow, so quiet, so boring, and so lazy. Dozens of animals can be spotted among the vines, flowers, trees, and grass a key at the end shows each creature and provides its name, encouraging readers to go back and look for them. Despite the fact that hardly anything happens, this depiction of a day in the life of a sloth is never boring riotous colors abound in Carle’s intricate painted-tissue, paper-collage jungle, which teems with life. Appropriately soporific text recounts a sloth’s daily activities: sleeping, waking, eating, and hanging from a branch, all of which he does slowly, slowly, slowly. Carle ( Dream Snow, 2000, etc.) branches out to feature a lesser-known yet fascinating animal in a paean to taking it easy. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Children love matching up the mittens and rhymes. ![]() This free printable activity is a must-do. I’ve used these ideas over and over again, teaching preschool and with my own children at home. Here are some wonderful activities that match The Mitten by Jan Brett.

Each story is prefaced by an introduction, usually describing Dr Asimov's personal history and how it related to writing the story in question. The introduction invites the reader to compare the writing styles of each story, since " Nightfall (1941)" is widely considered his best work, but Dr Asimov hopes to see that his writing has improved in the decades since he began.

The paper makes an argument about the performance of counter-power, showing how whilst the apartheid complex retained its command over economic, military, and political power, it struggled to control the social drama that was unfolding on the cultural plane, therefore losing its grip on one key element of ideological power. ![]() We show how this took place within a remarkably restrictive context, which on the one hand constrained performances, but on the other augmented their dramatic efficacy. We outline how the BCM challenged the psychological internalisation of white supremacy and asserted citizenship claims through a variety of performative techniques, many of which explicitly and implicitly reiterated earlier rights-based claims both in South Africa and abroad. This paper introduces the concept of 'performative citizenship' to account for the manner in which the Black Consciousness Movement (BCM), and in particular its charismatic leader Steve Biko, transformed a collection of relatively abstract philosophical ideas into concrete political praxis. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The release date is Octoand I’ve got ants in my pants and I want to do a boogie dance but I’ll save that for the week before…hehe.
