The tree of life, 2024 - by Skander Khlif (1983), Tunisian/German
“I sing of Spain and I feel it to the core; but before this I am a man of the world and brother of all”.
In his youth frequenting Els Quatre Gats, Lluís Bagaria was a self taught Spanish illustrator born in Barcelona in 1882. In the 1910-20’s he was considered the most important Spanish political caricaturists. Lluis was also friend to Federico García Lorca, whom he interviewed for the newspaper El Sol shortly before his assassination. Born in Barcelona, it was later in Madrid where he achieved great popularity and fame. His caricatures against fascism during the Spanish Civil War provoked his exile to Paris and into Cuba. At age 57, In 1940, after recently arriving in Havana Lluis died in exile, an anti fascist to the end.

La vilipendiada figura de Maximiliano Robespierre. Algo había que hacer. Alguien tenía que hacerlo. Y luego, pagar por su posicionamiento. El mundo ha seguido avanzando. Y hoy sería necesario un nuevo impulso en la causa de la liberación.

Por desgracia, siempre hacen lo mismo. No pueden permitir que otros pueblos prosperen.
The man crying is George Gillette, tribal chairman of the Mandan, Arikara, and Hidatsa tribes of North Dakota in 1948. He was forced under the threat of death of all his people to sign over the tribes’ homeland on the fertile floodplain of the Missouri River in order to build the Garrison Dam.
The final settlement legislation denied tribes’ right to use the reservoir shoreline for grazing, hunting, fishing or other purposes, including irrigation development and royalty rights on all subsurface minerals within the reservoir area.
After the dam was constructed, the three tribes were scattered, their communities and extended families flung to different shores of the 200-mile-long Lake Sakakawea.

El enigma de la ascensión al Everest de los británicos en 1924 sigue siendo un enigma. Allí perdieron la vida George Mallory (en la foto) y Andrew Irvine. Son los riesgos de la alta montaña. Y más aún en aquellas épocas. En cambio, se han convertido en una verdadera leyenda...
En pocas ocasiones se han llegado a mostrar con tanta intensidad los dolores, alegrías e inquietudes interiores de una persona, a través de un instrumento musical, como lo hizo John Coltrane. El saxofón tenor y el soprano vibraron con tanta fuerza, cuando él los tocaba, que crearon algunos de los momentos más intensos y emocionantes de la Historia del Jazz.

El niño Onfim ha tenido una magnífica forma de pasar a la posteridad... Me encanta!
Back in the 13th century (the writings are estimated to date from 1234 to 1268) a 6/7 year old boy named Onfim, who lived in Veliky Novgorod, left his notes and school assignments scratched on birch bark. These have survived to this day and are written in the old Novgorod dialect. They consist of letters, syllables and drawings of battle scenes, knights, horses, arrows and himself with his teacher. These are clearly school assignments that Onfim was practising.
