Jenny Saville was influenced by feminist theory, but she wouldn’t call her work feminist. “I liked painting a nude body, which was very frowned on in feminist studies—‘Where’s the gaze?,’ ” she said. “That conflict is what made that painting work.”
Jenny Saville, the Body Artist
The British painter has dedicated her career to depicting human flesh, especially that of women, with deep empathy.

Over 100 days after Mahmoud Khalil was unjustly arrested and detained because of his advocacy for Palestinian rights, he has been released on bail.

We celebrate that Mahmoud will finally be home with his wife and newborn son while his case proceeds.

Donald Trump and Republicans are making flying more dangerous.

This will increase the probability for plane accidents.
