"Indonesian authorities raided a university dormitory in Surabaya on Saturday and arrested dozens of West Papuan students after a standoff over allegations the Indonesian flag was thrown into a sewer. Officers broke down the gates of the Surabaya building and used teargas to clear the rooms, taking 43 people into custody on the Indonesian Independence Day weekend."text via @guardian @vembriwaluyas #papua
Aaliyah passed away 18years ago today. Can remember it as if it happened yesterday. She was and is such an enourmous influence and has changed RnB forever. She and her music certainly changed mine as I went through my teens, and later adulthood. #aaliyah #babygirl #foreveraaliyah #rnb @aaliyah_haughton_official #oneinamillion
This mesmorizing art by Ahmed Mater is a part of the Longing for Mecca exhibition at the @tropenmuseum. I was as intrigued by it when I saw it first at @museumvolkenkunde. Link in bio for blogpost on the exhibition
'Feminismo es revolución. No marketing' seen in valencia. As with #pride too often feminism is used to sell products while the companies behind them have their clothing or items made in countries where #lgbtq people are not safe or can life freely and where there are no to little laws and policies to enhance and empower women and girls. As commercials and therefore the marketing of products are visual culture and can have the power to slowly change perspectives about issues regarding and relating to women. However with the increase of the concept of feminism as a marketingtool it is sometimes harder to see the line between feminism and marketing. But ofcourse there are also some companies who use their feminism to bring awareness, make policital statements and use their power and voice for the better, like @nike and @lego. #visualculture #feminism #valencia #nike #lego #anthropology #gender #sexuality #feministanthropology
