“Liberty has been framed”

The Statue of Liberty was a gift to the United States from the people of France. It is an icon of freedom and of the United States, and was a welcoming sight to immigrants arriving from abroad.

But it was a long time ago…

“Follow the rythm”

Everything was ready for the final round of the most electrifying Clandestin pres. Full On Ibiza 2014 season. The storms from this week on the island presaged an energetic farewell and that’s exactly how it went. The lightning symbol of the party rocked harder than ever in the Main Room of Space Ibiza.

The duo DubVision known for their track “All By Myself” knew how to warm up the crowd for the arrival of the peak moment of the season: the extended set by Ferry Corsten. The two DJs were able to engage the audience with their EDM sound that was overwhelmed by aggressive beats that added to the expulsion of CO2 smoke that shook the dance floor. With an enthusiastic audience, Corsten had it easy to follow the path set by his peers.

…

2 years later, following the announcement of Pepe Rosello's retirement, the Space was put up for sale and then bought by the Matutes group, owner of the Ushuaïa, which made it disappear at the end of the 2016 summer season.

But it was a long time ago…

Nowadays, there is a worrying increase of xenophobia in France, with dumb actions taken by some political leaders that do nothing to improve the situation… :-(

France’s ‘Burkini’ Bans Are About More Than Religion or Clothing

The bans on full-body swimsuits are not primarily about protecting Muslim women from patriarchy, but about shielding France’s non-Muslims from a changing world.

“V-J Day in Times Square, Kobra's colorful edition”

Eduardo Kobra painted these stunning murals on 25th Street at 10th Avenue in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, New-York City.

The top mural takes inspiration from Alfred Eisenstaedt’s iconic photo of a U.S. Navy sailor grabbing and kissing a nurse on V-J Day in Times Square in New York City. The photo symbolizes the triumph of love over war and how America found relief in the silence of the guns after Japan's surrender on August 15, 1945.

Sadly, these two people were complete strangers, and the sailor was drunk, making this photo a symbol of The Selective Blindness of Rape Culture.

Below is a mural depicting vintage Times Square street scene.

Unfortunately, these murals have been painted over by the building owner.
