Heu vist la portada d’aquesta activitat? Doncs, segur que recordeu **aquells ulls verds magnètics**, plens de por i de dignitat, que van donar la volta al món des de la portada de National Geographic l’any 1985. Era la imatge de la **Sharbat Gula**, una nena en un camp de refugiats al Pakistan que es va convertir, sense saber-ho, **en el símbol universal del drama del poble afganès**. Aquella fotografia no va ser fruit de l’atzar, sinó del talent de **Steve McCurry**, un dels grans mestres de la fotografia contemporània. McCurry no és només un fotògraf de guerra o un reporter; és **un col·leccionista d’ànimes que ha passat més de quatre dècades viatjant pels set continents**, capturant la bellesa enmig del conflicte i la resiliència enmig de la pobresa. Palau Martorell i Arthemisia presenten **“ICONS”**, la retrospectiva més espectacular i completa **mai realitzada a Barcelona** dedicada a **Steve McCurry, un dels fotògrafs més cèlebres i reconeguts del món**. A partir d’un projecte d’Orion57 i comissariada per Biba Giacchetti en col·laboració amb l’artista, amb **més de 150 obres mestres**, l’exposició és un viatge extraordinari entre rostres, paisatges i escenes de la vida quotidiana, **amb algunes de les imatges més icòniques de tots els temps**. *Realitzarem una visita guiada descobrint la mirada de Steve, gaudint de les seves obres més destacades, en una exposició única a Barcelona!* *A on?

Una invitación a conectar con nuestra esencia desde el silencio, dejando espacio para que fluya lo nuevo.” “A través de la meditación, el arte y el proceso creativo, iremos explorando aquello que emerge a la superficie… sin buscar resultados, sin expectativas.” “Solo permitiéndonos sentir, crear y dejarnos llevar por los colores, las formas y los mensajes que aparecen durante el viaje.” “Cerraremos la experiencia compartiendo el recorrido, integrando lo vivido y disfrutando juntos de esas aguas ya exploradas.” “Te invitamos a ser parte de este nuevo encuentro elemental.” “13 de junio, de 9 a 11:30 hs, en la Barceloneta.” “Las plazas son limitadas para cuidar la experiencia.” ”¿Te sumas?” @unviajelemental

Let's stroll the artists' booths and enjoy some of the festival's opening day! The Columbus Art Festival features a wide and vibrant range of visual art from local and national exhibitors, plus, live music, and all kinds of food and refreshments, along the waterfront downtown. (The featured painting is by Columbus Art Festival exhibitor, Joe Engel - joe-engelart.com)

The topic for June is "Roadtrip" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
