According to the New York Times:

Carlos Saura is preparing “33 Días” (“33 Days”), which will focus on the artist’s emotional upheaval in 1937, when he painted “Guernica,” his harrowing representation of the bombing of a Basque town that has come to symbolize the outrage of warfare.

Walter Astrada, winner of a 2011 Getty Images Editorial Grant, has been documenting violence against women since 2006.  In his latest set of photos he turns his eye to Norway, a wealthy and generally peaceful country that nonetheless has many of the same problems as his previous subjects (Guatemala, Congo, & India).

STREET FOOD WITH A SIDE OF POLITICS…

The Conflict Kitchen was started by three artists from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh - they opened a take-out restaurant that only serves the national cuisines of the countries the United States is currently in conflict with. The food comes wrapped in paper covered with facts about the current country’s government, culture and the way the U.S. perceives it. It makes starting an interesting dinner conversation a breeze.
