The Social Art Scene

For many, the release of the first cordless, portable phone was a breathtaking breakthrough in technology and design, allowing individuals to make calls from, say, outside their house, or even crazier, inside their car!

Take Cover: Christoʼs at it again!

All puns aside, artist Christo, who has famously wrapped, covered, and outlined coastlines, sidewalks, and valleys for over fifty years, is at it once again.

Still, it is estimated that around 400,000 visitors would be drawn to the region as a result of the project, both during and after the installation process.

Where did the women go?

For centuries, women have held significantly less stature than their male counterparts, being obscured by the constraints of a patriarchal society. Even now, in the wake of feminist movements, walks, rallies, bra burnings, and sit-ins, people are still assessing the value of an individual based on gender. This outdated belief can still be seen today: just take a look at someone like Joanne Rowling. Even the author of Harry Potter began her career in the throws of double standards, being told her series would lose face with boys if it were penned by a woman. Thus "J.K.
