Toronto, Apr. 24, 2018 -n this era of #MeToo, misinformation, and media industry upheaval, the media has become the news and journalists who cover the beat are on the frontlines making front page headlines. Hear from reporters covering these turbulent Trumpian times: Michael Calderone, the senior media reporter at Politico who has built a steadfast career covering the intertwining worlds of the press and politics; and Emily Steel, the Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times business reporter who has covered sexual harassment in newsrooms — from reporting on the toxic culture at VICE Media to breaking the story, with a colleague, on multiple settlements by former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly. Ioanna Roumeliotis, reporter with CBC News' The National, moderates this discussion.
Along with a wide range of events across the globe, in New York, prominent speakers, such as activists Mónica Ramírez, Co-founder and President of Alianza Nacional de Campesinas and Marai Larasi, Executive Director of Imkaan, alongside Reese Witherspoon, Academy-award winning actor and activist and Danai Gurira, Tony-nominated playwright, actor and activist, will join Australia Minister for Foreign Affairs, Julie Bishop; President of the UN General Assembly, Miroslav Lajčák; UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, and UN Women Executive Director, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka at the UN HQ commemoration event at the UN General Assembly in New York.

האמנות של מירית בן נון מתקיימת בתוך ומעבר למציאות.
היא מתרחקת מהמציאות באמצעות צבעוניות אגרסיבית צפופה שחושפת עדות פנימית אודות קיום מאויים של נשים.
הקווים, הנקודות והצורות לא משחזרים עובדות אלא מדגישים את המטען המיוחד של התמודדות רגשית.
מירית בן נון מפגינה רוח מרד ומנסה לגעת בדברים לא באמצעות שלמות אלא תוך חיפוש אחר ההבעה והביטוי שלהם.
היא חוקרת זהות אישית ומנסה להגדיר באמצעותה את האמנות הראויה לה ובעזרתה להמחיש את העולם ואת טבעה של התרבות האנושית.
היא מתמקדת בממד ההבעתי בגלל החשיפה שמקנה הרגע הבלתי נשלט שמשפיע כה רבות על החיים בעולם גלובלי מגוון המשתנה במהירות .
השיח בין העולם הפנימי למציאות המתהווה הוא היפר-אקטיבי ומחולל אצל בן נון רצף אינסופי של עבודות.
מעומק התחושות, החלומות, החרדות וההבעות עולות משמעויות קיום נוקשות ומסעירות שעיקרן מבטא אי-שקט וחוסר הסתגלות.

This illustration is representative of the 'Me Too!' movement in the United States at present. It illustrates women who are calling out sexual harassment, assault and discrimination, under a US Administration that struggles to call out Nazism as bad and embraces the Russian Federation, which has interfered and is still interfering in US elections and its democracy.
...of friendship...
Happy Birthday Tio!
Thank you for your amazing photos, and your generosity....
....and especially for the light of friendship you share with all of us....

The "Me Too" movement (or "#MeToo", with local alternatives in other languages) spread virally in October 2017 as a hashtag used on social media to help demonstrate the widespread prevalence of sexual assault and harassment, especially in the workplace. It followed soon after the public revelations of sexual misconduct allegations against Harvey Weinstein.
The phrase created by Tarana Burke was popularized by Alyssa Milano when she encouraged women to tweet it to "give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem".Since then, the phrase has been posted online millions of times, often with an accompanying personal story of sexual harassment or assault. The response on Twitter included high-profile posts from several celebrities, and many stories of sexual violence were shared, including from Gwyneth Paltrow, Ashley Judd, Jennifer Lawrence, and Uma Thurman.

In the aftermath of Weinstein being outed as a sex predator, Jimmy Bennet accused Asia Argento for attacking him at age 17 after she supported #metoo as well.

Graffiti du quartier de Trastevere / Rome (Italie)
Graffiti est visiblement un mot italien !
Visage d'Hedy Lamarr (1944-2000), actrice hollywoodienne
Citation (de la même Hedy en 1962) sur l’affiche déchirée :
"Any girl can be glamorous. All you have to do is stand still and look stupid."
En quelque sorte, cette citation annonçait le début du mouvement féministe "Me toutou" à Hollywood !
"Autres temps, autres mœurs !"
Published in the Baltimore Sun, April 2018
For the past year, dozens of men have admitted to sexual assault in backrooms, bedrooms, board rooms, couches and dens, in an assortment of public and private. They are being outed by victims who are usually relating incidents from decades past, because absolutely no one would listen until now.
But another sexual predator of American women is not a man---it’s our government, through repeated acts of intrusion onto, and into, our bodies. We’re being violated in our own chambers; not our bed chambers, but in the Chambers of Congress and State Legislatures, through hundreds of new statues, amendments and laws specifically devised to restrict our rights and criminalize our choices. Our most private selves, our reproductive organs, are bound by these laws, which are not based on medical science, best practice, or our best interests.
These laws are proposed in the name of “protection,” when what women really need is protection from laws that imply that men aren’t the other side of this equation. If sexual morality is at risk and needs to be legislated, we should see proposals applied to the behavior of, and consequences for, both genders. But only one set of reproductive organs appear to be liable, pliable, visible and available to be constrained.
Science has failed to develop reliable birth control for men; prophylactics and abstinence remain their only solutions. And when that fails, as it often does, the government steps in to dictate what the WOMAN must or must NOT do. It accomplishes that by creating laws that are an additional assault on, and an insult to, women.
Hundreds of state laws have been introduced to restrict access to our constitutional right to abortion. Colorado passed a law prohibiting public employees from paying for an abortion with their own health insurance. Mississippi voted to ban abortions past week 15. In Iowa, a bill would outlaw abortion with no exception for rape or incest. Many states require women to have a medically unnecessary ultrasound to “be given the option to look at the image,” with mandatory counselling and a 72-hour waiting period. West Virginia hopes to amend its state constitution specifically to ban abortion from state Medicaid services. Republicans in Ohio and Idaho have proposed a law to charge abortion providers and their patients with murder, punishable by death or life in prison.
These laws are a metaphor for the kind of abuse women already experience in everyday life and reported in #MeToo messages. They are done on a “law-on-women” basis, touching us in places, and in ways, we do not want to be fondled and groped. Like sexual harassment, these laws are demeaning. Like dark alleys, they are threatening. Like porn, they are everywhere. They are discriminatory, like sexual discrimination. They propose that our bodies, for nine months, essentially be under State surveillance. These laws strip away our rights the way a pervert would strip off our clothing, imagining us morally naked, in need of the wisdom of law to clothe us. Our anatomy is exposed, for all to casually peruse in publications and legal briefs. The lives of women will be altered: the lives of men remain the same.
The challenge to Roe vs. Wade is coming, sooner than later. Meanwhile, it feels like a creepy sex offender has been let loose in our country; only this time, the law rides by his side with an armed posse.
So this is the project for 2011 , dreams and slices of life in a mono square . In the year ahead there will be blur , movement and processing . there will also be wild experiments with high iso and whatever home made filter comes to hand to stick in front of the lens, all trapped inside a square . it mightn`t suit everyone but i hope to have fun doing it and seeing where it takes me ;-))
