Often compared to a young Catherine Deneuve, French model-turned-actress Marine Vacth made the transition from the catwalk to the red carpet appear effortless with a brave star-making performance in François Ozon’s erotic drama “Young & Beautiful” (2013). Born in Paris in 1991 to an accountant mother and lorry driver father, Vacth grew up in Bois-Colombes in the northern outskirts of the capital and was first discovered by a model agency at an H&M store aged just 14. Vacth went onto work with high-art fashion photographers such as Juergen Teller, Jean-Baptiste Mondino and Paolo Roversi and later succeeded Kate Moss to front the campaign for Yves Saint Laurent’s Parisienne. But following a shoot with French actor Vincent Cassel for the label’s La Nuit de L’Homme fragrance, Vacth became inspired to pursue an acting career and went onto land her first role as Tessa, the model girlfriend of high-flying trader Steve in Cédric Klapisch’s socially-conscious comedy “Ma part du Gâteau” (2011). Following an appearance in the promo for hip-hop jazz artist DJ Cam’s single “Swim” in the same year, Vacth played Alice in Joan Chemla’s short film adaptation of the fable “The Man With The Golden Brain” (2012) and appeared in Alexandre Arcady’s decade-spanning Algerian-based romantic drama “Ce que le jour doit à la nuit” (2012). But it was her magnetic turn as Isabelle, a middle-class teenager who baffles her family by turning to high-class prostitution for no discernible reason in François Ozon’s provocative drama “Young & Beautiful” (2013) which brought Vacth’s acting talents to a wider international audience for the first time.

“At its simplest this is a tale about a young native American survivor of a Japanese death march being cured of his post-traumatic stress by an extended healing ceremony, which puts him back in touch with his roots. But it is more than that: Tayo’s healing is in some ways a more general healing, his ceremony part of a wider ceremony for his people. I loved this book. It is a fine example of magic realism addressing real issues in a profound way and this is something I look for in a book”. Zoe Brooks , uk .
Acclaimed novelist, poet, and essayist Leslie Marmon Silko is known for her lyric treatment of Native American subjects. Born in 1948 to the photographer Lee Marmon and his wife Mary Virginia Leslie, Marmon Silko is of Laguna Pueblo, Mexican and Anglo-American heritage. Her mixed ancestry has influenced her work in myriad ways. Growing up on the edge of the Laguna Pueblo reservation, Marmon Silko’s earliest experiences were positioned between cultures. Remarking in an interview with Alan Velie, she said she is of mixed-race ancestry “but what I know is Laguna,” Marmon Silko has deepened her affiliation to her tribe through her books, which draw on Laguna myths and story-telling traditions. In 1974 she published a volume of poetry called Laguna Woman. Marmon Silko has also acknowledged the influence of her own family’s storytelling on her method and vision.Her works primarily focus on the alienation of Native Americans in a white society and on the importance of native traditions and community in helping them cope with modern life. She has been noted as a major contributor to the Native American literary and artistic renaissance, which began in the late 1960s.
Silko attended school on the Laguna reservation until the fifth grade, when she transferred to Catholic school in distant Albuquerque. Prohibited from speaking the Keresan language of her grandmother and aunts, Silko nonetheless excelled academically and went on to receive her bachelor’s degree from the University of New Mexico in 1969. That same year her first story, “The Man to Send Rain Clouds” was published. She briefly enrolled in law school, but left to pursue her writing career in 1971 when she was awarded a National Endowment for the Arts Discovery Grant. Silko won many major awards throughout the 1970s and ‘80s, including a Pushcart Prize for Poetry and the MacArthur “Genius” Award. This last award allowed Silko to quit her teaching job at the University of Arizon-Tucson and devote herself full-time to writing. In 1988 she received the New Mexico Endowment for the Humanities “Living Cultural Treasure” Award. She is also well-known for her friendship with the poet James Wright. Their correspondence was chronicled in the book With the Delicacy and Strength of Lace: Letters Between Leslie Marmon Silko and James Wright (1986), which won the Boston Globe Book Prize for non-fiction.
Christian Boltanski, the French artist known for transforming found objects into artworks that explore collective memory and trauma, died today in Paris. He was 76 years old.
Boltanski was born on September 6, 1944, in Paris, shortly after the capital city had been liberated from the Nazis. His father, a Jewish doctor, survived the German occupation by hiding underneath the floor of the family apartment for a year and a half. Stories of the experience would loom large in Boltanski’s art throughout his six-decade career.

He joined the narrative figuration movement and participated in creating the Nouvelle Histoire. In the 60’s, he became a key figure of the artistic scene.
Founder of the Beaux-Arts workshop in May 1968 and director of film-tracts in collaboration with Jean-Luc Godard, Gérard Fromanger, he became part of the world of the cinema world. Then he turned towards photography so a to transpose reality through images from his viewpoint.
His relationship with various artists, writers, philosophers and musicians are a great inspiration for him, without which his works wouldn’t have evolved.

Left-wing political actors, including those who embrace the antifa mouvement , have been responsible for far less violence than far right ones. But some left-wing groups have embraced similar social media tactics, including memes and humorous catchphrases, to spread their messages and possibly help coordinate offline activity
But the growing use of memes are worrying sign and argue that the spread of dehumanizing rhetoric on the left could set the stage for more serious incidents by what the report called “network-enabled mobs.
