Vandana Shiva is a full blown sociopath.

Vandana Shiva is personally responsible for the devastating 2021 famine in Sri Lanka which lead to the resignation of the president. "It was on the advice of Vandana Shiva, an Indian Environmentalist, that President Gotabaya Rajapaksa took the decision to ban chemical fertilisers in 2021

Great ❤

So wonderful. The words paint pictures.

Can't wait, see you all there!

The rubber bandits was funnyasf

Ok

What a marvelous work I have stubbled upon in Frank Bowlings work. Thank you sir.

1. Ned Kelly was Australian. He never claimed to be Irish and on numerous occasions claimed to be Australian. 2. Sidney Nolan was fed a load of fictitious rubbish that clearly reflected in his paintings. 3. Had he been told the truth about Ned Kelly, this series would probably never have been made. 4. Lauding a very serious murdering, criminal like Ned Kelly is a disgrace to this nation.

Hi Deirdre - this is Linda G. Thank you for this post. I know its a while ago but it was still lovely to see your face and hear your voice after all these years.

As a budding female artist, this is incredibly inspiring.

Genius

Can't believe I missed this! :(

Wonderful project, so mediative and eco friendly 🌱 Congratulation.

Clodagh love the unique eco prints and you sharing the process by which these were created - thanks for these videos IMMA - very interesting

This is powerful! Thank you!

Dear Etel Adnan, with all respect to you I know you have gone, but I would like to say that hearing you I feel transported into the world of the old fairy tale, as one pure girl speaks and just flowers come out her mouth. I see flowers and jewels in your words. Thank you for being within us making this world richer in beauty and humanity.

That's a wonderful metaphor for diversity, comparing the flower with immigration. How both enrich their environment.

Iphones came out mid 00's. Really doubt if this was really the 90's. It didn't have my mad head dancing in the Floozie.

Thank You sir for the explanation.....It helps me alot.

All creativity should be considered on it’s quality, richness, empathy, not by gender.

With respect, this woman can’t draw and and certainly can’t paint. is she a friend of Tracey Emin ? It all seems a little narcissistic and ego driven.

6.14 That lead researcher dude’s shirt is making me dizzy, someone needs to have a word with him, his shirt is upstaging both Yeats and Freud ...

This is kinda cringy.. the curation lacked depth and true understanding of spirituality that they tried to convey. The art was nice I guess but the concept behind it was not holding up to expectation.

Excellent, thank you.

Wonderful interview! Thanks for sharing all these interesting insights and truths.

These are BRILLIANT shining poems, made me cry in places...

You can see the struggle. Great people.

That was beautiful.

She is a nice woman who took a political stance against the French establishment and being Arab stopped writing in French. But… is this a recipe for being called talented. Her printings are complete nuisance your have to go through to reach Vasily Kandinsky’s masterpieces. It is sad and insulting to viewers and to this poor grandma who I’m sure has never intended to be ridiculed this way.

Applause to everyone!

Very much enjoyed all your poems and readings. All your unique imagery engaged me and kept my interest me throughout. I, too, am a poet ( and also a children’s teen fiction writer which I’ll elaborate later) but for now my poems specialize in Japanese forms i.e. haiku , senryu, tanka/kyoka, haibun. I hope you don’t mind me sharing a tanka, a haiku dedicated to Matshuo Bashō’s frog with added insightful commentary by the late AHA founder and poet Jane Reichhold and a tanka. Here’s the Bashō poem and commentary: Bashō’s frog four hundred years ripples At first the idea of picking only 10 of my favorite haiku seemed a rather daunting task. How could I review all the haiku I have read in my life and decide that there were only 10 that were outstanding? Then realized I was already getting a steady stream of excellent haiku day by day through the AHA forum. The puns and write-offs based on Basho's most famous haiku are so numerous I would have said that nothing new could be said with this method, but here Al Fogel proved me wrong. Perhaps part of my delight in this haiku lies in the fact that I agree with him. Here he is saying one thing about realism-ripples are on a pond after a frog jumps in, but because it refers back to Basho and his famous haiku, he is also saying something about the haiku and authors who have followed him. We, and our work, are just ripples while Basho holds the honor of inventing the idea of the sound of a frog leaping is the sound of water As haiku spreads around the world, making ripples in more and larger ponds, its ripples are wider-including us all. But his last word reminds us all that we are only ripples and our lives ephemeral. It will be the frogs that will remain. Now the tanka: returning from a Jackson Pollock exhibition I smear paint on my face and turn into art ~~ And finally my fictional story that not only should appeal to Afro-Americans but all individual and groups that experience racial injustice. It’s based on a true incident that took place in the 1950s when racial inequality was rampant. It’s based on a true incident and has an inspirational ending that coincides with my own belief akin to Dr Martin Luther King’s in a non-violent approach and resolution to racism. Titled “ Eloise , Edna And The Chicken Coop” ELOISE, EDNA & THE CHICKEN COOP There was once a Black woman named Eloise who inherited from her grandmother a parcel of land in the suburbs of Compton California at a time when there was strong racial prejudice against women of color-especially those Black women who owned property in predominately white neighborhoods. It happened there lived adjacent to Eloise’s land a white woman named Edna who did not like the fact that this Black woman owned land next to hers. Eloise would try to be friendly because she believed Jesus when He said “Love Thy Neighbor” and to Eloise that meant even if your neighbor was unfriendly. But whenever Eloise saw Edna, Edna would turn her back in disdain. In fact, ever since her husband died a decade ago, Edna became mean and unfriendly to everyone in the neighborhood. But to Eloise, she was so hateful and full of animosity that one night when all the lights in Eloise home were off Edna went to her own backyard where she kept her chicken coop and gathered up all the manure and dumped it on Eloise land and upon her tomatoes and her greens and everything she was growing, in an attempt to destroy it. And when Eloise realized the next morning that there was all this manure, instead of becoming angry, she decided to rake and mix it in with the soil and use it as fertilizer. Every night Edna would dump the manure from her chicken coop litter box and Eloise would get up in the morning and turn it over and mix it. This went on for almost a month until one morning Eloise noticed there was no manure in her yard. Then one of the neighbors informed Eloise that Edna had fallen ill. But because Edna was so mean and unfriendly , no one came to see her when she was sick. But when Eloise heard about Edna’s condition she picked the best flowers from her garden, walked to Edna’s house , knocked on her front door and when Edna opened the door, she was in complete shock that this Black Woman who she had been so cruel to, would be the only neighbor to visit her and bring flowers. Edna was deeply moved by Eloise kindness. Then Eloise handed the flowers to Edna who said, “These are the most beautiful flowers I’ve ever seen! Where’d you get them?” Eloise said, “You helped me make them, because when you were dumping in my yard, I decided to plant some roses and use your manure as fertilizer.“ This genuine act of kindness opened the floodgate of Edna’s heart that had been closed for so long. “When I’m feeling better, I would love to have you over for tea,” Edna told Eloise. “Thank you, “Edna replied , assuring her she would come. And then added “ I will pray for your speedy recovery every night” And with those words Eloise departed. It’s amazing what can blossom from manure. There are some who allow manure to fall on them and do nothing. But then there are others-like Eloise -who “turn the other cheek” when abused or in this case “turn over the soil” to make something new like those bevy of beautiful red roses that opened a white woman’s heart. ~~ -All love in isolation from Miami Beach, Florida, -Al

we’ll miss you, Etel 💛
