Vidi: About
http://vidinotabene.blogspot.com/p/about.html
Is to show that southern and eastern countries can make headlines for something other than political and economic difficulties. However, I will make an effort to link the topics to socio-cultural issues and current events in the countries concerned. Some countries are already well-covered in cultural publications, notably those in Latin America. Other regions, such as Africa and the Middle East, are usually topics of discussion because of some dire situation or another. The idea behind. TWITTER: @Brandon...

Benin Is Where It's At. This past summer art took over in several cities as Benin inaugurated it's own nation-wide biennial. Called. On the existential side of things, Gérard Quenum exhibited his series of dolls,. Communicates very succintly Quenum's view of life in modern Africa: a tenuous and unpredictable reality that can be equally hopeful or threatening. Being a huge fan of photography, I would also like to draw attention to two very talented photographers who participated in the biennial. As you ca...

I have struggled for some time with the direction Vidi should go.and I've reached my conclusion: it's not a sustainable idea. First off, I have come to feel it a rather condescending project, intellectually speaking. Writing about the culture of "developing"countries is not in itself a bad idea. However, me deciding arbitrarily which countries should be in this category is. I feel that it would stretch credulity to place countries as diverse as Argentina, the UAE and India in the same boat.

Having citation rules drilled into me as an art history student, I have agonized over how best to credit photos and information on this blog. You will notice that the earlier posts are very academic and the citations are right out of a university handbook. For purposes of brevity and ease of navigation, I have decided to make the citations a little less apparent and more interactive. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

It's Definitely How You Play the Game. Although qualifying the damage and misery in Haiti following the January 12th earthquake is impossible, the ubiquitous images of the National Palace lying in ruins. Lends visual expression to the current state of Haiti and its people. Who said "Although it seems naive, it's as though Manno beat Italy!

Pilar Jarpa, pictured left, is one of the beautiful South American fashion icons to lend her presence to Asunción Fashion Week (AFW). Paraguay's most important international fashion event. She is Chile's gift to various runways and is seen here in a photo taken from the page for AFW on Facebook. Evidently, AFW means that Paraguay hosts some of the most talented designers and beautiful models from all over South America over a couple of days this spring. So although Asunción is far from joining the Paris-...

Vidi: Imagemaking in Cairo
http://vidinotabene.blogspot.com/2010/04/imagemaking-in-cairo.html
This documentary-type ad can be seen by non-Arabic speaking readers in an English version here. The docu-ad (a word I'm going to lobby Oxford to include in the next dictionary) was the product of Cairo-based boutique advertising agency Elephant, for which I could not find a website. The agency is apparently a tw0-man operation, half of which is Ali Ali - in my opinion, a brilliant guy. Atch them, they're quite ironic and funny. I like the way the stories don't conspicuously revolve around Coke, but again...
