Showcase

Gathering so many angels, and everything to do with them, in one exhibition was probably no easy feat, but it has been done in Ukraine. At one of the most anticipated cultural events of the year 'Image of Angel: From Icons to Mass Culture' visitors get a chance to see how these celestial beings have been depicted in art over the centuries and how they are still relevant in today's world.

Without a doubt, it is the billion-dollar budget blockbuster movies that rake in the big box at Hollywood. But there is also a different breed of film that dwells in Tinseltown, which manages to attract a loyal cult-following around the globe. Today Showcase's Alican Pamir investigates the quirky style of these cinematic offerings.

The conflict has existed since the beginning of time. Artists have captured the atrocities of war every step of the way. Picasso's 'Guernica' and Goya's 'The Third of May' may be two of the first war paintings to come to mind, but there have been noteworthy works throughout the annals of time. So it is no surprise that a new museum in Istanbul tells the story of the country's 2016 failed coup in an artistic way. Nursena Tuter went to the Memory Museum to experience it herself.

Biggie, Tupac, Snoop Dogg and Nas. Name a musician at the forefront of the hip-hop explosion of the late 80s and early 90s, and you can bet that they have stood in front of Chi Modu's lens. Modu had a front-row seat during what is considered the golden era of rap. His photographs still bring goosebumps to fans, more than two decades later. Showcase's Aadel Haleem was able to get a very rare interview with Modu who shared his stories of hip hop; the glitz, the glamour and the controversy.

Most of us take our basic five senses for granted. We can see all the colours in a rainbow, hear the sounds of the world around us, smell spring blossoms, taste our favourite food, touch and feel pleasure and pain. But what happens when we lose one of these abilities? A performance artist in Amsterdam who blindfolded himself for a month to find out what being blind must be like.

Although Venice Film Festival is the oldest in the world, it has kept its reputation of being a trailblazer. This year's 76th edition is proving that once again. It's underway with a notable lack of female directors and controversial slots for Roman Polanski and Nate Parker dominating the build-up. But nothing overshadows the exciting and long-awaited programme, as Showcase's Hatice Meryem Gelgor explains.

Around this time of the year some four hundred years ago, a ship carrying around twenty captives -seized from a kingdom in Angola- landed at southern Virginia. They were the first Africans to set foot in English North America. This is how the era of slavery begun in what would become the United States. As this month marks the anniversary of this travesty, we look at how slavery has impacted American music since then.
