Photographer Martin Parr, 73, visited 24-year-old Moscow-born artist Maya Golyshkina at her London home for a collaborative shoot and interview published by Cultured. The two, who both began photography before age 16, discussed playfulness in their work, non-traditional materials like cardboard and household objects, and the role of social media in their careers. Golyshkina showed Parr her wearable cardboard creations, and the conversation ranged from Parr’s decades-long career documenting human banality to Golyshkina’s viral crying videos and her rise from posting self-portraits on Instagram to collaborating with luxury fashion houses.

lotus l kang on channeling poetry memory and spirits into her new work 2646703

Lotus L. Kang's latest exhibition, "Already," is on view at 52 Walker in New York through June 7, 2025. The Brooklyn-based Canadian artist transforms the gallery into a diasporic memoryscape using steel greenhouses, mixed-media paintings, sculpture, and found objects like oversized kelp knots and soju bottles. The show takes its title from a poem in Kim Hyesoon's "Autobiography of Death" (2016), and Kang's installation explores themes of presence and absence, memory, and the transmutative qualities of photography and film. In an interview, Kang discusses how Korean poetry helps her understand her own origins as a Korean-Canadian gyopo, and how translation—both linguistic and material—shapes her work.

‘Your homes will be destroyed, your family killed’: the US has dropped millions of war propaganda leaflets – but do they work?

The United States military has been dropping propaganda leaflets in psychological operations (psyops) for over a century, from World War I through the Gulf War and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. A new interactive exhibit at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn, organized by the digital archive group Khajistan, displays hundreds of these leaflets, including those dropped on Japan during World War II and in more recent conflicts. However, declassified internal documents, such as a 1971 US Air Force report, reveal that leaflets were often used as toilet paper, cigarette rolling paper, or souvenirs by enemy soldiers, undermining the official narrative of their effectiveness.
