The 5th Season trilogy will close on Saturday, February 11, around 12AM SLT. Three simultaneous exhibitions, Blind, Africa and Heroes, deal with the question of our myths in the face of the climate change that we ourselves have caused by our beliefs and that threatens humanism, humanity and life.
The exhibition is still on view until Saturday at Artsville.

Today, our emotions fueled by these smart guys, we are closer than ever to a tragedy such as there has never been in Europe, not even during the Nazi period. What can happen is worse than it has ever been. But people, young and older, are standing for freedom and responsibility, fighting for the values of humanism. If Europe escapes from the dead end in which a few madmen have led us, I dream of a courageous, generous, cooperative, intelligent and cultured, open and rational generation, which finally makes Europe take the path of Enlightenment and tolerance that it has lost for centuries.

Florencia, cuna de la Lengua Italiana Clásica (Dante, Petrarca y Boccaccio) y del Renacimiento, está situada en el corazón de la Toscana. Esta bella ciudad posee un tesoro innumerable de monumentos y obras de arte. En realidad en toda la región de la Toscana tuvo lugar, entre los siglos XIV y XVI, la época grandiosa del Humanismo y del Renacimiento, movimientos que cambiaron completamente la cultura y el arte de la época, dejando una huella profunda en la civilización europea. En la Toscana hay grandes obras de arquitectura civil y religiosa, esculturas y obras pictóricas de valor artístico extraordinario, pruebas del trabajo creativo de grandes genios como Leonardo da Vinci y Miguel Ángel. La Florencia renacentista suele compararse con la Atenas del esplendor griego. Sus palacios, iglesias, fortalezas, mansiones renacentistas y como no, las obras de arte, son impresionantes.
Florence, the cradle of the Italian language Classic (Dante, Petrarca and Boccaccio) and of the Renaissance, is located in the heart of Tuscany. This beautiful city possesses a treasure of innumerable monuments and works of art. In fact in the entire region of Tuscany took place, between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries, the grand era of Humanism and the Renaissance movements that completely changed the culture and the art of the time, leaving a deep mark in the European civilization. In Tuscany there are great works of civil and religious architecture, sculpture and paintings of extraordinary artistic value, evidence of the creative work of geniuses like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. Renaissance Florence is often compared with the Athens of the Greek splendor. Its palaces, churches, fortresses, Renaissance mansions and as not, the works of art, are impressive.
Precision of thought is not the strength of poetic or mystical writing while at the same time experiential wisdom cannot always be confined to the wineskins of philosophical theology. The differences are not primarily in the content, nor even in the different historical contexts out of which the two visionaries speak, but in their language—the one best described as the language of the schools, and the other the language of mystical experience. Each one sees, but each one expresses it differently, not that what they see is so different, or the One whom they see, but that which makes one see his writings but as straw makes the other search for words that also fall short. Yet each acknowledges the plenitude, the fullness, the richness of Being.

Beginning in 1570, Strasbourg opened its Christmas Market around its prestigious Cathedral. Since that time, its reputation in Europe has only increased, thanks to its merchant tradition as well as its spirit of tolerance and humanism that constitute its history and identity.
Seit 1570 findet der Straßburger Weihnachtsmarkt rund um das prächtige Münster statt. Seitdem wurde er in Europa von Jahr zu Jahr bekannter und größer, nicht nur dank der Verkaufstraditionen, sondern vor allem dank der Weltoffenheit und des Humanismus, welche die Geschichte und die Identität der Stadt kennzeichnen.
Depuis 1570 Strasbourg déploie son marché de Noël autour de sa prestigieuse Cathédrale. Depuis, son rayonnement en Europe n’a fait que croître, grâce à sa tradition de commerce et à son esprit de tolérance et d’humanisme, qui font son histoire et son identité.

The young woman's eyes, in this photograph, are not only focused on the pictures in front of her, but maybe also on the essence of life they catch, evoking a rich tapestry of human experience and reflection.
The gallery's gentle, grey lighting evokes a contemplative mood that beckons visitors to fully engage with the ideas and pictures on display. The woman’s experience is placed in the larger story of the exhibition by the arch of little framed photos and descriptive text.
The photograph and its context are a commentary on photography itself. By means of a camera, we preserve moments for contemplation and interpretation by future generations.
Every image is evidence of the photographer's own viewpoint, a window into their reality and worldview. Photographic humanism, in particular, is exemplified in the way that images convey the richness, beauty, and variety of the human experience, promoting the possibility of understanding and connection across time, culture, and location.
No thinker simply repeats borrowed thoughts. New thoughts, however, risk resistance. They push against gravity. The more novel, the more profound, the more untested by time, the stronger the resistance. Who are you to think differently than we have always thought! Aquinas himself faced this very challenge. As a wise sage, he went into the deeper recesses of his mind and brought out something old and something new (Matt 13:52). Faithful to tradition, highly respectful of it, he was also innovative. A new and brilliant synthesis was born.

One of Teilhard’s enduring contributions is that he reconciled evolution and creation in such a way that there ought no longer to be seen any intrinsic conflict between the two. God creates the universe evolutively. From the “outside” or “without,”110 the universe evolves; one thing comes to be by way of birth from something that already is.111 From the “inside” or “within,” there is an energy of evolution that moves it. That energy ultimately is love, or God, the God of evolution, the God who makes creation evolve. The cosmos is a cosmogenesis, a coming to be that has a birth with time and unfolds in time.

Erasmus of Rotterdam or Erasmus (1466 – 1536), portrait by Lucas Cranach (1530). Erasmus was a Dutch philosopher who is considered one of the greatest scholars of the northern Renaissance. Humanists called him the Prince of the Humanists.
Whether we use the word “mystic” or not, whether we see ourselves as “mystics” or not, whether we see our Christian vocation as a call to sanctity or not, pertains more to how we appropriate the language of spiritual theology. However we express it, much of Christian life is lived beneath the surface. Grace is ordinary even if not “of nature” itself, present in the ordinariness of daily life. In that sense we are all called to a “mystical” or supernatural level of living in the Spirit with Christ.

Humanity “will only become thoroughly unified under the influence of some form of affective energy which will place the human particles in the happy position of being unable to love and fulfill themselves individually except by contributing in some degree to the love and fulfillment of all.” “It can only be done, in the last resort, through the meeting, center to center, of human units, such as can only be realized in a universal, mutual love.” “It is not a tête-à-tête or a corps-à-corps that we need; it is a heart to heart.”

"And if we follow it?" he said.
"Maybe we’ll find what we lost," she said. "Not the past, but the part of ourselves we left there."
"Together?" he said.
"Always together," she said.
For me, streetphotography is a chance to get closer to the truth of life. I am not concerned with shapes or lines. They are always just a means to an end.
I want to show things for which there are no words 🎈

We gave him a lift for a few kilometers. He just sat peacefuly without a word.
He then signaled where he wanted to stop. He asked us to wait. He grabbed to round breads from the oven and ran towards us. He gave us the bread to thank us and smiled.
We only took one and he ran back to his family.
Sahara hospitality and Berber goodness...Pure and simple humanism.
Made we wonder, who are the poor and who are the rich of this world.

The town of Seixal on northern Madeira was founded by royal decree of King John III of Portugal (1502-1557) on June 30, 1553. The young settlement is mentioned by that fine humanist-priest and explorer and geographer Gaspar Frutuoso (c.1522-1591) - native of the Azores - in his great six-volume work Saudadas da Terra (1586-1590). That work was not published until well into modern times because the owners of the manuscript kept it under lock and key. The Saudadas is well-worth a read given its early description of Macaronesia (Happy Islands - from the Greek, of course - Madeira Archipelago, the Azores, Canary Islands, Cape Verde Islands). But also because Book V is a rather striking pastoral love-poem. Here's a verse:
Há garçones, hau pastores,
que andays por estes collados,
venid a ver los cuidados
del que muere por amores.
(Something like: Oh! lads, Oh! shepherds / who walk these hills,/ come to see the distress / of him who dies for love!)
I doubt whether Frutuoso ever climbed the valley and hills above Seixal to Criação de truta (=Trout Farm) and Chão da Ribeira, where we had lunch yesterday. But pottering about a bit afterwards I came upon a patch of these lovely Wild Strawberries, Fragaria vesca subsp. vesca. Strawberries appropriately are the signal fruit of Venusian Love in Ancient Rome, the font of European Humanism.
PS I might add that these Wild Strawberries - also those of northern Europe - taste rather bland unless you've first washed out your mouth with good mineral water. Then they're quite sublime.
To exceed the ordinary, the artist knows, is both a blessing and a curse. Each touch, each word, each act of creation becomes a paradox: an offering to eternity but rooted in the fleeting frailty of the present. What if they fail? What if the light within, so achingly bright, burns them to ash rather than illuminating their path?
Artwork by Guido van Helten, Melbourne Polytechnic, Windsor.
To create this striking masterpiece, Artist Guido van Helten began with taking photos and working with the profoundly deaf contemporary dancer Anna Seymour. Over the course of five days, Guido transferred the image to the seven-storey wall creating a photo realist portrait of the dancer. With her hair falling down, but eyes raised to the sky full of possibilities, the humanism of the image interacts with the architecture of the building. Guido’s exceptional work can be seen around the world, in cities such as Florida in the United States, Avdiivka in Ukraine, Helsinki in Finland and beyond.

10000 άτομα παρακολούθησαν τις 2 μέρες(3 & 4 Ιουλίου φέτος) την αντιπολεμική τραγωδία του Ευριπίδη, Τρωάδες. Το τραγικό αυτό έργο, επίκαιρο παρά ποτέ, δείχνει τα καταστροφικά αποτελέσματα της έλλειψης αλληλεγγύης και ανθρωπισμού.
10000 people attended the 2 days (3 & 4 July this year) antiwar tragedy of Euripides, "The Trojan Women". This tragic work relevant than ever, shows the devastating effects of the lack of solidarity and humanism.
Naples is the regional capital of Campania and the third-largest city of Italy, after Rome and Milan, with a population of 909,048 within the city's administrative limits as of 2022. Its province-level municipality is the third-most populous metropolitan city in Italy with a population of 3,115,320 residents, and its metropolitan area stretches beyond the boundaries of the city wall for approximately 20 miles.
Founded by Greeks in the first millennium BC, Naples is one of the oldest continuously inhabited urban areas in the world. In the eighth century BC, a colony known as Parthenope was established on the Pizzofalcone hill. In the sixth century BC, it was refounded as Neápolis. The city was an important part of Magna Graecia, played a major role in the merging of Greek and Roman society, and was a significant cultural centre under the Romans.
Naples served as the capital of the Duchy of Naples (661–1139), subsequently as the capital of the Kingdom of Naples (1282–1816), and finally as the capital of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies — until the unification of Italy in 1861. Naples is also considered a capital of the Baroque, beginning with the artist Caravaggio's career in the 17th century and the artistic revolution he inspired. It was also an important centre of humanism and Enlightenment. The city has long been a global point of reference for classical music and opera through the Neapolitan School. Between 1925 and 1936, Naples was expanded and upgraded by Benito Mussolini's government. During the later years of World War II, it sustained severe damage from Allied bombing as they invaded the peninsula. The city received extensive post-1945 reconstruction work.
Since the late 20th century, Naples has had significant economic growth, helped by the construction of the Centro Direzionale business district and an advanced transportation network, which includes the Alta Velocità high-speed rail link to Rome and Salerno and an expanded subway network. Naples is the third-largest urban economy in Italy by GDP, after Milan and Rome. The Port of Naples is one of the most important in Europe. In addition to commercial activities, it is home to the Allied Joint Force Command Naples, the NATO body that oversees North Africa, the Sahel, and the Middle East.
Naples' historic city centre is the largest in Europe and has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A wide range of culturally and historically significant sites are nearby, including the Palace of Caserta and the Roman ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Naples is also known for its natural beauties, such as Posillipo, Phlegraean Fields, Nisida and Vesuvius. Neapolitan cuisine is noted for its association with pizza, which originated in the city, as well as numerous other local dishes. Restaurants in the Naples' area have earned the most stars from the Michelin Guide of any Italian province. Naples' Centro Direzionale was built in 1994 as the first grouping of skyscrapers in Italy, remaining the only such grouping in Italy until 2009. The most widely-known sports team in Naples is the Serie A football club S.S.C. Napoli, two-time Italian champions who play at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in the southwest of the city, in the Fuorigrotta quarter.
The sacred and the secular are, therefore, not two things placed side by side; they are one thing seen under two aspects. Something is sacred, precisely in its relationship to God. Since everything is related to God, everything is radically sacred. The secular, the profane, is that which is seen by man apart from, even in opposition to, the divine. Since everything can be seen apart from the divine, even though in its own radical being it is related to the divine, everything can be secularized or profaned, except the divine by definition. Thus, if the sacred and secular appear as opposed spheres in man’s life, this opposition says more about the moral conditions of man than it says about the structure of reality.

We live in an era of nihilism. It has become so normal that we are blind to it. A nihilistic society has high divorce rates and rampant fatherlessness. A nihilistic society is promiscuous with high numbers of sexually transmitted diseases. A nihilistic society has drug and crime epidemics. A nihilistic society lacks morals and common sense.
Abortion, the killing of one’s offspring, is nihilistic. Calling a human fetus a parasite is nihilistic. Why would one lie and call a fetus a parasite? It is because nihilism is incompatible with the truth. The further a society goes into nihilism the more it despises the truth. Nihilists love to preach their gospel of subjectivism. Nihilists declare that there are more than two genders. Nihilists support euthanasia. With nihilism, life has no value. Nihilists claim that people are nothing but sacks of hormones. Without a doubt, nihilism degrades and dehumanizes people. The climate change (net-zero) agenda is nihilistic (anti-human). I have read LGBTQ literature, which states that heterosexuality must be abolished. This too is a form of nihilism. Supporting mass migration, as empires do in decline, is nihilistic. Indeed, supporting the demise of your children’s future is nihilistic. Feminism, with its hatred of men, is nihilistic. Woke-Marxism, with its oppressed versus oppressor, is nihilistic. Socialism ends in nihilism, just look at the Soviets and Nazis. Artificial intelligence is also nihilistic, the same with transhumanism.
Mao wanted to destroy the Four Olds: Olds Ideas, Old Customs, Old Culture, and Old Habits. Mao needed New Ideas, New Customs, New Culture, and New Habits to replace the Old ones. The old order must be destroyed and replaced by the new order. Violence is part of the nihilist revolution. Nihilism, the worship of nothingness, in its purest form will produce destruction. In the end, the madness of nihilism will lead to either world conquest or utter ruin.
“We will not capitulate – no, never! We may be destroyed, but if we are, we shall drag a world with us – a world in flames.” – Adolf Hitler
Nietzsche declared that God was dead, because modern man had lost their faith in God. The foundations of our society are based on Christianity. If we tear down our foundations, then our whole society will come crashing down. This would destroy the Old Ideas, Old Customs, Old Culture, and Old Habits. Our values and traditions would be gone. We would destroy our measuring stick of right and wrong, truth and lie. Without our foundations, we will lose our house.
The West has rejected God and embraced secular humanism. The fruits of this will end in total nihilism. In rejecting God, they reject not only salvation but the truth. Since they reject the truth, they will follow error to its logical end—destruction. Nihilists are at war with the truth, at war with God. They, like Nietzsche, want to murder God. They want to be like Nietzsche’s Superman. They want to replace God and be their own god. They want to live by their own truth. In their nihilistic gospel of nothingness, they want to turn the world into nothingness. God created the universe from nothing. Therefore, they want to turn everything into nothing and create their own world. They do not want the universe to revolve around God. They want the universe to revolve around themselves. Their nihilistic world of tyranny will be cold; it will be efficiently run by machines and technology. They are constructing an artificial (digital) world. Their utopian world will be so all-encompassing that no one will be able to escape. Moreover, they want to transform a human into a transhuman—Nietzsche’s Superman.
With each technological advance, man becomes both stronger and weaker. Every power gained is also a power that can be used against man as well. Every victory won, means man is that much closer to being the servant of the leader in charge. Those who reject Christ will serve the antichrist. They will become born again in the antichrist, a spiritual (transhuman) rebirth. 666: take the Mark of the Beast! The merging of man and technology will mean the abolition of man. Transhumanists want to merge man and machine to create a new being. They want to make a being through their technology, a being made in their own image. They want to end humanity as we know it. They are planning the extinction of man!
Nihilism is the inversion of Christianity. In the gospel of nihilism, the antichrist is Christ, and God the Father is the dragon (the devil). Yet those who reject the Mark and choose Christ will live. The nihilists, however, will spend eternity living in the nihilism of hell with their father the devil.
John 10:10 “The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. I (Jesus) have come so that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.”

Although he was professionally a scientist, and as a priest also a theologian, he will be remembered I think more as a mystic for whom language is always inadequate, more like straw as Aquinas eventually said, who was also a spiritual master and one for whom poetry was a means of communication. The scholastic method was not available to Teilhard and exclusively scientific writing too restrictive. He saw something new, and it needed a new style and at times new words.

The performances of the Italian flag throwers “Sbandieratori” evoke certain aspects of military life during the Middle Ages and the Humanism, showing the charm of an ancient discipline. Harmony, Force, Commitment, Strictness are the values of this sporting art which are renewed every day as the group trains and performs with energy and enthusiasm. The performance quality and team spirit are the basis of the work added to a modern approach and the passion of its young athletes, bringing to life the prestigious art of flag throwing.
Thank you for viewing. If you like please fav and leave a nice comment. Hope to see you here again. Have a wonderful day 😊

In a previous exhibition called “Locked”, I showcased a
brasilian orphan Christ, killed by the state police.
In “The Sermon of Mahdi“, I imagined the story of a new Christ, homosexual, mixed-raced and puny, who, during university conferences and interventions in the social network, reconnects the world with humanism and true love.
Mahdi (“the guide” in Arabic) dies hanged by the Republic. The symbol of this Christ is the hangman’s rope.
The Book of Mahdi can be found in the church and
includes his biography, his major sermon and the whole of the poem “Plead guilty”.
