Entitled ‘Foreigners Everywhere’, the 2024 Venice Biennale has at its core the exploration of identity. The international show is notably - and for some anachronistically - organised into national pavilions. Prompted by the theme, many countries have chosen to examine ideas of nationhood, belonging and foreignness. Collectively, however, this also raises the question of how valid the Biennale’s division of exhibitors into national showrooms continues to be. ‘You are always, deep down inside, a foreigner’The 60th edition of the international exhibition, curated by Adriano Pedrosa, takes its tit...

By Mauro PIMENTEL Rio de Janeiro (AFP) - Superman habite Brasilia. Mais il aurait pu lui-même l'ignorer s'il ne s'était pas rendu un jour à Sao Paulo. Les réseaux sociaux ont fait le reste. En 2022, l'avocat brésilien Leonardo Muylaert, 36 ans, visitait le Comic Con de Sao Paulo (sud-est), grand-messe dédiée à la culture comics, quand un autre visiteur l'a filmé avec son téléphone. "C'est Clark Kent que je vois ici ?", s'est interrogé ce dernier dans sa vidéo, qui a rapidement atteint des milliers de vues sur TikTok. Leonardo Muylaert n'avait même pas de compte sur les réseaux sociaux, et ne s...

Having a safe climate is becoming more of a human right globally with this week's European court decision that says countries must better protect people from climate change, something warming-hit residents of the Global South long knew, said former President of Ireland Mary Robinson. Robinson, who was the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, praised Tuesday’s mixed court decision as precedent-setting and change-triggering. The European Court of Human Rights sided with Swiss senior women saying their government wasn't doing enough to protect them from climate shocks, but dismissed...

Cotton clothes, towels and bed sheets from H&M and Zara are “stained” by illegal deforestation and human rights abuses, according to a new investigation. UK-based investigative NGO Earthsight has traced 800,000 tonnes of cotton from the giant Western retailers to Brazilian estates where land grabbing, violence and corruption are rife. This cotton is exported to several manufacturers in Asia, which together made nearly 250 million items of clothing and homeware in a year for global stores of H&M, Zara and its sister brands. “These firms talk about good practice, social responsibility and certif...

2023 was the hottest year on record. Last year's monsoons in India have claimed the lives of more than 2000 people, South Korea and Japan saw unprecedented levels of flooding, widespread heat waves spread through Europe and Latin America, and wildfires raged through North America. This should have been a wake-up call. Instead, oil and gas production continues to soar, and with it billions of dollars in profit for the fossil fuel industry. This year, over a 12-month period, for the first time on record, global heating has exceeded temperatures of 1.5 degrees Celsius. In 2015, 196 countries sign...

By 90min The 2024 Copa America is just around the corner and the tournament is back, bigger and better than ever. Just as they did in 2016, the United States will host the latest edition of South America's most prestigious tournament. Thankfully, the USMNT qualified and will be able to partake, with another five CONCACAF teams added to the mix in Mexico, Canada, Costa Rica, Panama, and Jamaica. The group stages were drawn out a while ago, meaning we've been able to plot potential routes to the final for some time. So, with that in mind, here's how 90min predicts things will go down. Group AThe...
