Pope Francis died on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88 at his residence in the Vatican's Casa Santa Marta. By Devin Watkins At 9:45 AM, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Apostolic Chamber, announced the death of Pope Francis from the Casa Santa Marta with these words: "Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis. At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of His Church. He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and most marginalized.

Brendan Fernandes: Mog Asundi

  Mog Asundi is a multipart performance by Kenyan-Canadian artist, Brendan Fernandes. The performance took place in Panjim as part of the fourth edition of the Serendipity Arts Festival. The work consisted of a series of posters, t-shirts, and other multiples featuring the affectionate   Komkani greeting: Mog Asundi, which means “let there be love (between us). The multiples feature this message translated into five scripts: Devanagiri, Roman, Kannada, Malayalam and Perso-Arabic.

Their creativity and their relationships with one another were a key part of the performances, charging them with social solidarity. The performances took place at key locations, often marked by wheat-pasted composi...

(courtesy of Nuvo Magazine) Story by Ayesha Habbib Photographer  Michael Salisbury Stylist  Samuel Ratelle Under a haze of pink light, set to a thumping beat from a DJ booth, ballet dancers contort and twist while elaborately tied up bondage-style by shibari rope. Is this ballet? Or something more carnal? It’s 2019 in the  Frank Lloyd Wright –designed rotunda of the Guggenheim, and a crowd mingles about the stage of dancers, watching a strangely erotic performance choreographed by artist  Brendan Fernandes . Looking closer, however, one notices the metaphors for oppression being told through movement. The dance piece, aptly called  Ballet Kink , examines the push and pull of agency and power through the viscerality of ballet.     Fernandes is interes...
