Drawing inspiration from a composition transcribed by Henri Kowalski for the panoramic display of Istanbul at the 1900 Paris World Fair, participants listen to both the city's sounds and their rhythms, using techniques and tools such as musical instruments, musical communication, and songwriting.

Fluid Rego

Fluid Rego

While Paula Rego belatedly was recognised as one of the leading feminist pioneers of her age, little has been written about her exploration of fluid sexuality. Indeed the current of sado-masochism in her drawings and paintings, has tended to encourage an understanding as a classic clash between the patriarchy and exploited women.
