    A photographic history of the women who resisted climate change - Financial Times

    Barbara Kruger’s seminal work seems to me to embody the essence of this show. It contains this double rejection: of women being synonymous with (passive, silent, irrational) nature and of men as producers of culture. We see a closely cropped image, likely culled from a 1950s fashion magazine, of a glamorous woman lying against a grassy background with her eyes gently covered by leaves. The leaves make me think that she’s dreaming of another world: reimagining or willing into being a place that e…

    Beauty, by holy order - Financial Times

    The first prayers of the day are said at 5 o’clock in the morning at the Abbazia di Praglia, at the foot of the hills outside Padua, Italy. The monks make their way through the 15th-century cloister to the church, with its barrel-vaulted ceilings and frescoes by Campagnola, where, as sunrise breaks through the windows, they say their matins.

    Juno Calypso's Cult Of Beauty - Financial Times

    There are a lot of curiosities in The Cult of Beauty, the exhibition currently on show at the Wellcome Collection in Euston. A bandage to protect your moustache while you sleep dating from 1910. A £375 “24K Gold Serum Intense” by Chantecaille that contains “an innovative cocktail of pure gold and Vitamin C”, displayed next to a 19th century lithograph of a French courtesan who used to drink liquefied gold to preserve her youth, a practice believed to have eventually killed her. A corset for a ba…

    Influence — the power to persuade, advocate for change and imagine better ways of doing things — takes many forms. Nowhere is this more clear than in the magazine’s annual Women of the Year issue, a list of the world’s most influential women written about by other powerful women on the international stage. This special project was assembled, over several months, in consultation with hundreds of FT journalists across dozens of bureaux, our readers and industry leaders. The end result is a list f…

    The body on camera

    We talk about the human body as a machine, an instrument, a vessel. We say that it has its own language and its own genre of horror. It can be a temple or a weapon, an agent of fear and shock or delight and beauty. Through 12 photography projects, this special issue touches all of these iterations of the human form. Basketball players readying themselves to leap for the ball appear like figures from a Renaissance painting. Bodies that find deep water terrifying tentatively learn to swim. Dancers…
