Artist Profile: _ Artist Name: Shelton Mubayi Title: Looking into the future Medium: Leopard Rock.... Year: 2018. Dimensions: L51cm X W44cm X H120cm. _ Artist Statement: The woman in the artwork is the epitome of pure love and resilience. Her face, the only prominent feature in the sculpture, emerges from crude and unpolished stone, depicting the beauty and steadfastness that women posess. Though this particular woman has unfortunately, been birthed from a place of hardness, she has risen from all that pain to take hold and take control of her life allowing for people to have a glimpse of her strong heart, and her kind soul. #16days #16daysofactivism #orangetheworld #generationequality #femaleempowerment #endgbv #artforchange #womenunited #poetry #art #contemporaryafricanart #artactivism #activism #woman #women #united #togetherwecan #harare #zimbabwe

Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz was a 17th century nun, self-taught scholar and acclaimed writer of the Latin American colonial period and the Hispanic Baroque. She was also a staunch advocate for women's rights. Her intelligence and scholarship became known throughout the country during her teen years. She began her life as a nun in 1667 so that she could study at will. After taking her vows, Sor Juana read tirelessly and wrote plays and poetry, often challenging societal values and becoming an early proponent of women's rights. Sor Juana is heralded for her Respuesta a Sor Filotea, which defends women's rights to educational access, and is credited as the first published feminist of the New World. #SorJuanaInesDeLaCruz #Nun #Art #Culture #Philosophy #Literature #Poetry #Performance #History

"Caballito de mar tú querías volar y te han quitado el sentido. Caballito de mar te robaron las alas, Las buscaste por todo el camino pero nadie te daba razón. Caballito de mar vive tu libertad. Caballito de mar volar es con las alas del espacio invisible,... Busca tu lugar y ponte a volar Aunque todos te digan que es imposible. Aunque no tengas alas tienes imaginación." Lina María.

Cesare Pavese scrisse queste parole nel 1945 quando, tornato a Torino, venne a sapere dei molti amici morti in guerra. La poesia, insieme a poche altre, fa parte della raccolta "La terra e la morte", pubblicata per la prima volta nel 1947. *** Tu non sai le colline... dove si è sparso il sangue. Tutti quanti fuggimmo tutti quanti gettammo l'arma e il nome. Una donna ci guardava fuggire. Uno solo di noi si fermò a pugno chiuso, vide il cielo vuoto, chinò il capo e morì sotto il muro, tacendo. Ora è un cencio di sangue e il suo nome. Una donna ci aspetta alle colline. 9 novembre 1945 *** #9novembre1945 #CesarePavese #CesarePavesequote #Resistenza #Partigiani #poetry #poesiaitaliana #Torino
