We don’t like to talk about it, but it can be challenging to be a man in the world today, and even more challenging to raise boys to be good men. Maybe it’s time for a conversation.

1992, September. Val Fourré, Mantes-la-Jolie. A suburb near Paris. Watched by the crowd, the four towers in Val Fourré crash with a terrible noise. In a cloud of dust, journalists, statesmen (members of the government) and the people of the neighbourhood. A page is turned. People want to believe that things will be better tomorrow. It is a symbol that is blown up. Great projects are announced. A few months later, those who expressed their feeling at the time, are reflecting on the past events, as we watch and listen to their words, the present is taking shape.

Poster for Dissonance and Disturbance

2012 · ★ 0.0 (0)

‘Dissonance and Disturbance, a two-screen installation, brings together Cold Draft (1988) and two films partly shot amid recent protests in London.The narration to the largely abstract Cold Draft is a poetic critique of Eighties economics, which gains a new potency through being shown alongside Rhodes’s video-camera shots from within police kettles as protests raged against the causes and effects of the economic crisis. She also tells the story of a flour mill in Gaza bombed by the Israeli military. Over the years, Rhodes has shifted from abstraction to near-documentary as her anger at governments becomes palpable. Her work is all the more compelling because her eloquence with film matches her political convictions.’ – Ben Luke

The Mother Nature holds the ultimate truth and as such she provides us with abundance in every part of our existence. It’s the wisdom of nature that the lost man with a child turns to in order to overcome his problems, because it teaches him to adapt to the change. It’s the silence of a starry night that whispers the answers he seeks and the profound knowledge of trees that gives him courage. The whole world is our home. From our body where we move in when we are born, to everything on this planet we all live in. We are all connected, we are all one, therefore wherever love is our home is.

“Olya is cool. Next to her is a little sparkle, from how light and joyful she is. But her ex-man - not cool at all, and left a scar for her, ”- this is how the blog of Rina Tsunami, a tattoo artist from Vladimir, begins. She collects stories of women who come to her studio to hide traces of burns, cuts, gunshot wounds. Covering scars, Rina helps women forget about violence and start life anew. Meanwhile, in Moscow, Valery Panteeva is organizing the project “Tattoos instead of scars” in conjunction with the studio Maverick. Masters of a tattoo studio, like Rina, cover the scars of victims of domestic violence. But some women do not want them to hide their scars. For Rachel from Newport (UK), the trail of a gunshot wound became part of herself, her pride, a terrible story that she could survive. Rachel wrote a book on violence, collects signatures for petitions to amend English law, and creates relief groups for people like her.

The acts of men during their lifetimes forge our History. But at what point in our lifetime do we lose our own stories? Many women who wait at home, in their kitchens, for their men to return – for a missing son, a father… – have an open wound that has never quite healed. Suspended in time, their hearts go on beating as they wait tirelessly. It is death or them.
