#art, Artist William Kentridge
Well, he is known for several things, not just illustrations, but for animated films, engravings and collages. He became quite better known after appearing in the 1997 Johannesburg and Havana Biennale… He was born 69 years ago in Johannesburg, South Africa… He started creating animated films during the 1980’s… But, from 1975 to 1991 his love of theatre led him to become a member of «The junction avenue theatre company» in Johannesburg and Soweto. Then, in 1992 he began to act, direct and design sets for «The Handspring Puppet Company«. They did pieces by Woyzek, Fausto and Ubu Rey, where the pieces are done using marionettes, actors and animation… In 2004 his films were shown at the Cannes Film Festival…

#opinión, ¿Protestan en València?
Esta foto es de hoy (24/10/2024) en la plaza del ayuntamiento de València. Los medios han estado pregonando que hay protestas en contra de los altos costes de la vivienda y de la proliferación de los pisos turísticos y que en València han montado la suya frente al ayuntamiento. Venga, ¡Qué son cuatro gatos!
Yolanda Díaz, la doña de Sumar, quiere que el gobierno intervenga en el mercado de la vivienda y de los alquileres. ¿Pero quien, con alma democrática, va querer que el gobierno se meta en cosas que las regula el mercado? ¿Qué pasa, estamos en Venezuela? Que existan normas y limites si, por supuesto, pero intervención, ni de coña…
Además, no le pude hacer foto porque me estaban mirando con cara de mala leche, pero entre los cuatro gatos ya había uno con una bandera de Palestina. Y me pregunto, ¿Qué coño tiene que ver la magnesia con la gimnasia?
#poem, «To Float in the Sky» (An Euro-Ku)
No mortal foot can touch…
No light more silver white…
No distractions, always bright.
C.2024, Francisco Bravo Cabrera – 23 OCT 2024 – Valencia, Spain
NOTA BENE
The Euro-Ku, a style I developed in 2022, is the way a Western poet/writer can best approach a style of poetry native to Japan, the Haiku. As someone who does not have the history or the culture of an authentic Japanese poet, it is impossible to do justice to that honorable and long tradition. Therefore, wishing to honour the style but to give it the spirit that a work of art has when it is made in accordance to one’s place and time, I invented this new form, the Euro-Ku. It has three lines (stanzas, verses) but without a syllabic count (as our language does not have the same rhythms as the Japanese language), and each line must follow the previous one logically and sensibly. The lines cannot just go off floating in the air, as that works in Japanese but not in Western languages. And finally the poem must be accompanied by an illustration also of the authorship of the poet. Simple, clear, spiritual and in accordance to Western history and culture.

#art, Artistas latinoamericanas – Latin American Women Artists…
Han habido muchas (quizás tu no lo sepas porque no te lo han enseñado en la escuela de bellas artes) y siguen habiendo, cada día más, aunque en la facultad no las mencionen, pero yo aquí te las voy a presentar, al menos algunas de ellas.

There have been quite a few, though you might not know them because no one has ever talked to you about them. But there are more and more every day, although you won’t hear about them at Uni. But here you will as I am going to introduce you to, at least, a few of them…
GRACIAS–CHEERS
