Will algae farms be the farms of the future? Can washed-up jellyfish be repurposed to make a durable material? Are algae the solution for clean energy harvesting? Through performance and talks, we explored aquatic life in the framework of harvesting. Sound and visual artist Sabina Ahn, designer Charlotte van Alem and researcher Dr. Ben van den Broek contemplated these questions and more.

Abderrahim El Ouali the Moroccan social writer on political and environmental issues has published an article on IPS News stating that Morocco is still divided over marriage of minors. In the article, El Ouali states “The widespread practice of marrying minors continues to be one of the most incendiary legal and political issues in Morocco today, causing open confrontations between hard-line Islamists and moderates throughout the country. …30,000 minor girls are married every year – roughly 10 percent of the 300,000 marriages recorded… A campaign to gather one million signatures to forbid the marriage of minors is already in progress, sparked by the death of Amina Filali, a 15-year-old girl who committed suicide after being forced to marry her rapist. …Sheik Mohamed El Maghrawi, a well-known Moroccan Muslim scholar, published a Fatwa reiterating families’ right to marry off their daughters over the age of nine. His position provoked a major scandal but the scholar suffered no consequences. …El Maghrawi even expressed his attachment to his position, "based on the Quran and the words of the Prophet " according to him. However, opposition to this particular reading of Sharia’a law has become widespread. "All the laws that go against the dignity of women must be amended or even abolished ", said the president of the Chamber of Councilors in Moroccan parliament.” Inspired by ips news ow.ly/bk67E image source Twitter ow.ly/bk67f
Mercedes Pardo didn't knock on the door of modernity; she stained it, let the color seep into the grain until the wood itself forgot what it had been before. Somewhere between the Caribbean light and the geometry of silence, she discovered that color could stop behaving like decoration and start acting like memory.
Funny thing about color: people think it smiles. They think red is passion, blue is peace, yellow is joy. That's the language of advertising, not painting. The Venezuelan painter Pardo knew better. She understood that a color can weigh more than a stone, whisper louder than a speech, or leave a room emptier than when you entered it. Her canvases don't illustrate emotions; they manufacture climates. You don't look at them—you adjust your breathing to survive inside them.
The art world has always loved a good story, preferably one that fits inside a museum brochure or a collector's dinner conversation. It likes movements, labels, schools, generations. It wants artists to wear uniforms stitched with neat historical categories. But painting has never cared much for bureaucracy. A canvas doesn't wake up wondering whether it belongs to geometric abstraction or lyrical abstraction. It either vibrates or it doesn't. Mercedes Pardo understood that the real frontier wasn't between figuration and abstraction; it was between living color and dead color. Perhaps that's why her work keeps slipping through the fingers of those who insist on measuring art the way accountants measure inventory. They can count exhibitions, auction prices, square meters of canvas, institutional acquisitions. None of those numbers explain why a quiet field of layered pigments can hold your attention longer than a wall full of spectacle. Markets are excellent at assigning prices and notoriously clumsy at recognizing resonance.
There's a peculiar honesty in refusing to entertain. Pardo trusted that a slow gaze was still possible, that someone might stand before a painting long enough for their certainty to dissolve. That's an unfashionable expectation. We live in an era where images compete to be consumed before they're understood, where visibility is confused with significance and novelty is marketed as depth. Her paintings remain stubborn. Maybe that's why they continue to breathe. Not because they predict the future, but because they refuse to expire with the decade that produced them. Their surfaces carry the rhythm of someone listening closely—to architecture, to tropical light, to intervals, to the invisible distance between one shade and the next. Every layer suggests another beneath it, like songs remembered imperfectly or cities rebuilt over forgotten foundations.
In the end, Mercedes Pardo leaves behind something more difficult than a style. She leaves a way of seeing. A reminder that color is not what covers the world but what reveals its pulse. And if you happen to find yourself standing in front of one of her paintings, don't rush to understand it. The painting has already understood something about you.

Larbi Sadiki the Tunisian writer, political scientist and senior lecturer recalls his meeting with Egyptian Aboul Fotouh in 1992 while a fresh doctoral candidate at the Australian National University. The subject of Sadiki’s investigation at the time was notions of democracy in the discourse of four Islamist movements. The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood (EMB), Tunisia's Nahda Party (NP), Jordan Islamic Action Front (IAF), and Sudan's Islamic Front led then by Hassan Al-Turabi. Sadiki states “Of all of the Islamists I met and engaged with in discussion over democracy during that period, coming soon after the Algerian debacle, Aboul Fotouh was amongst the limited number of interlocutors who felt at ease with that concept and the whole notion of good government. Then, the concept was not as yet popular with most Islamists. Not even the creative Rashid Ghannouchi, whom I sat with and interviewed many times for the purpose of my PhD and beyond, had at the time acquired a firm grip on the term. It was largely considered for being a specifically Western concept underpinned by Western values. At the time, 'democracy' in Islamist parlance, lacked the scruples and rigour of shura, Islam's consultative ethos, even though the likes of the innovative Hassan Al-Turabi in Sudan sought a move towards defining a shura-democracy synthesis.” Inspired by Aljazeera ow.ly/bzInt image source Studiahumana ow.ly/bzI9P

Susan Adele Greenfield the 61 year old UK Baroness and neuroscientist who specializes in the physiology of the brain pertaining to Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, has expressed concerns that digital technology may be having negative impacts on early development of children’s brains. Greenfield suggests that social networking sites in particular may be having an impact that we will not become aware of for several decades, pointing to the fact the human brain can change and the environment is capable of doing so. Criticized in some academic circles for her lack of clinical research, Greenfield’s likens her critics to "like the people who denied that smoking caused cancer". Greenfield says she is not criticizing the technologies themselves, but rather how and the extent to which technologies are used.

I shot this wedding for a friend Avinandan and his bride-to-be Bhargavi, a couple months back. Didn't post any pics then because I needed to make sure they had the pictures first!
Here's one from after the dinner party; taken in the hotel lobby.

Shot this while driving by Maharashtran countryside near Lonavala, on a documentary trip. You can see some amazingly warm tones in the dry natural landscape there this time of year.
And also, worth mentioning, the dots in the sky are paragliders.
