canterbury cathedral graffiti art hear us controversy 1234756433

A graffiti art installation titled "HEAR US" has been unveiled at Canterbury Cathedral in Kent, England, created by poet Alex Vellis and curator Jacqueline Creswell. The works, which appear directly on the cathedral's walls, pose spiritual and social questions such as "What is the architecture of heaven?" and "Why are you indifferent to suffering?" The project emerged from community workshops asking "What would you ask God?" and involves marginalized communities including the Punjabi, black and brown diaspora, neurodivergent individuals, and the LGBTQIA+ population. The installation is approved by the cathedral and runs through January 18, though it has already sparked widespread online backlash.

kamala culture failure 2566890

Ben Davis, an art critic, analyzes the failure of Kamala Harris's 2024 presidential campaign through the lens of its visual culture, particularly a MoveOn.org poster in Brooklyn that renders Harris's face entirely from emojis—smiley eyes, fist-bump skin, octopus lips, and coconut necklace. He argues this poster epitomizes the campaign's reliance on incoherent internet vibes and substance-free memes, contrasting it with Shepard Fairey's uninspired "FORWARD" poster and the self-parody of "Brat Summer" aesthetics. Davis blames Democratic Party consultants for wasting over $1 billion on a campaign that failed to connect with voters on economic anger, instead offering wonkish proposals and appeals to nonexistent Liz Cheney Republicans.
