The legacy of visual symbolism carries through Thread Memory, where archival material isn’t neutral; it’s radically local. Images are drawn not from state institutions or foreign-held collections “like the Library of Congress”, notes the curator but from families.”Palestine through Palestinian eyes”

(In the '70s I lived one street away from Varda's atelier & shopped at the rue Daguerre market, but never knew she was there, alas.)

Appreciation: Jean-Luc Godard, a master of cinema who changed the medium forever
In a six-decade career that included "Breathless," "Week-end" and "Goodbye to Language," the unaccountably great and inventive artist always managed to tick off all the right people.

The July 1960 issue of DU Magazine is dedicated to Jean Cocteau. For me, it feels like an early take on yellow press home stories—intimate glimpses with a touch of flair. What really draws me in is the assemblage of images on his desk, especially the many photos of Picasso.
