Khaled Fahmy, Medea Benjamin, and City of Joy
February 9, 2011The revolution in Egypt at first was less about poverty and labor than it was about police brutality and the mistreatment of the people by a repressive regime. But now, Khaled Fahmy notes, the growing labor movement in Egypt is coming to the fore, following two years of concerted effort and protest by workers across the country.The F Word: City Of Joy is What Investing In Life Looks Like
February 9, 2011This weekend saw something revolutionary —not just in Egypt, but in Congo. The V-Day foundation, led by playwright and GRITtv guest Eve Ensler, opened its first City of Joy, a compound that will help Congolese women, many of them rape survivors, heal and learn, as V-Day puts it, to “turn their pain to power.”Christian Boltanski: No Man's Land
June 3, 2010With all the disaster and violence in the news, it can be hard to retain a sense of perspective, let alone to take any time for reflection. Yet French artist Christian Boltanski manages to do so with his latest installation, currently on view at the Park Avenue Armory in New York. "No Man's Land" has been called the artist's most ambitious project to date, and GRITtv's Sarah Friedland stopped by to take a look. The installation is on view at the Armory through June 13th.David Swanson, BP Oil Spill, and Christian Boltanski
June 2, 2010What do the attack by Israeli commandoes on the Freedom Flotilla, the BP oil disaster, aid to Haiti, Don't Ask Don't Tell repeal, and war in Afghanistan have in common? If you ask David Swanson, he'll remind you to follow the money. The U.S. taxpayer money, of course, which funds Israel's military and pays for war that enriches oil companies. Meanwhile, aid for Haiti and Don't Ask Don't Tell are added to supplemental funding for war in Afghanistan to convince members of Congress to vote for escalation.A "Living" Coat?
March 6, 2009Oron Catts uses science to create art. But the work itself, including a "living" coat made of mouse cells, raises many questions about how we define life and how we define art. Catts is a Tissue engineering artist and the Co-founder and Director of SymbioticA.
