Juliet Mitchell - Feminism: "The Longest Revolution"
YouTube video by EXPeditions - The living library of knowledge
Who are women?
In the census, in Shakespeare, and in history, women have often been categorized only by their relationship to others: daughter, wife, widow.
This March, we are spotlighting the brilliant women who challenge, define, and expand our knowledge.

💬 While the UK was still resisting handing over the Chagos Islands, Sands wrote that "the overarching, devastating irony is that it was Britain and the United States that created the rules that are premised around the United Nations Charter who were opposing closing the book on colonisation."

Interestingly, the same socioeconomic factors that predict engagement with the arts are also those that predict mental and physical health outcomes.

We enter the new year with great resolutions: Dry January, going to the gym twice a week, no sugar, no fat…
But have you ever thought about going to a museum or joining a choir? Did you know that art can have a real effect on your health? 🎨

The modelling assumptions we make, and the prior conceptions we bring to a restoration, strongly influence the final outcome.

This case illustrates a central principle of image restoration and inpainting: everything depends on the prior information introduced into the process and on how closely one adheres to the available data and evidence—in this case, the damaged painting or fresco of Jesus Christ.

In the case of Cecilia Giménez, the daily sight of a severely damaged portrait of Jesus Christ became unbearable. Deeply distressed by its condition, she decided to restore the painting herself, despite having no formal artistic training.

Spanish woman who found fame for botching fresco restoration dies
Cecilia Giménez's effort to restore the painting Ecce Homo earned the artwork the nickname "Monkey Christ".
The death of Cecilia Giménez, who became famous for restoring the Ecce Homo portrait in Borja, Spain, reminds us of a fundamental dilemma in art restoration: what is “good” or “bad” restoration, and what does it mean to be faithful to the original?
