Hobart’s Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) in Hobart was found to have discriminated against a man who was refused entry to the museum’s women-only ‘Ladies Lounge’ space in April 2023, despite having paid for museum admission. After Jason Lau made a complaint to the Tasmanian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (TASCAT), the tribunal ruled in April this year that MONA stop denying entry to individuals who do not identify as women. At this point, ‘Ladies Lounge’ creator and MONA curator Kirsha Kaechele vowed to explore possible loopholes, including converting the lounge into a toilet – and she was...

Polls closed in a national vote in Mexico on Sunday that is set to give Mexico its first female president. Claudia Sheinbaum has led in exit polls over her primary opponent, Sophie Galvez, as the head of the country's ruling Morena party. Election day in Mexico was marked by violence as town council candidate Israel Delgado was shot dead by two hitmen aboard a motorcycle in the township of Cuitzeo. Residents voted under a heavy police guard — but later passed by the home of murdered candidate Israel Delgado to light a candle for the well-known local politician at an improvised altar on his doo...

At Ocean Calls, we often focus on how improving fisheries policies and sustainable aquaculture can help us take better care of the ocean. However, how often do you think about the men and women whose working lives are interwoven with the tides and waves of the sea? Across Europe, you’ll often see small boats of less than 12 metres in length. Onboard, you’ll find the owners of these vessels, many of them at the helm of their own small-scale fishing operations. In a world where overfishing is seen as far too prevalent, some experts say these small boats could hold the key to that issue. While th...

Now, within the walls of its Villa, women are the centrepiece of its latest exhibition. Curated by Alona Pardo, ‘The Infinite Woman’ combines works from the Carmignac collection with the work of more than 60 pioneering artists. From the past to the present and the future, visions of myths and magic are mixed with complex or surreal depictions of sorcery and sexuality. But that's not all by any mean...

Eighty years ago, on April 21, 1944, France decreed that women would have the right to vote in postwar elections. At the time, France remained under German occupation, and General Charles de Gaulle was leading a provisional government. With other priorities taking precedence, French women did not actually cast their ballot for the first time until April 1945. After more than 150 years of agitating for this fundamental right of citizenship, French women finally secured the vote. This victory came rather late, especially considering the promising proclamations of women such as Olympe de Gouges d...

I was nine years old when I learned of Kurt Cobain’s death. At that time, all I knew about Cobain was Nirvana’s ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ being played on repeat on MTV, and the striking image of a naked baby swimming for a dollar on the 'Nevermind' poster taped to my neighbour’s bedroom wall. I always looked up to my neighbours, siblings who are respectively three and five years older than me – an age gap which was a huge deal for a younger me with little to no cool factor to speak of. They were my cool factor, the gatekeepers to know-how I lacked. Both brothers frequently took me under their ...
