The Second World War brought with it massive urban destruction across Europe. And an easy, quick economic solution to the problem was Brutalist architecture. Raw, concrete and monolithic. These fortress-like buildings were commonly used for governmental projects as well as socially progressive housing solutions. They soon became ubiquitous in communist countries mainly due to their function over form ethos.

The impact of this artist on German culture at the beginning of the 16th century was so great, that a whole timespan was named "The Durer era". Albrecht Durer was not only an innovative painter, but he was also a master of engraving, who introduced radical and technical innovations, many of which were copied by his peers. And now, for the first time, Durer's work is being shown in Kyiv, alongside those who chose to imitate the master.

For those wanting to deeply immerse themselves in culture from 20 different countries, the Manchester International Festival is your ticket to the artistic universe. Since 2007, the festival has drawn international artists to perform, show new work and collaborate with locals. This year is no exception with contributors ranging from Idris Elba to David Lynch. Miranda Atty was there as it kicked off with a special work by a stellar artist.

Dressing our dogs in children's clothes, giving hurricanes female names, and worshipping deities with lion heads and human chests. Since the dawn of time, we've had a tendency to pair human characteristics with non-human beings. Whether it is in ancient mythology, or even found between the pages of a paperback novel humanity's desire to create hybrid creatures goes way back.

This year's San Diego Comic-Con wasn't business as usual. Much of the conversation focused on the limited film scene, lack of movie stars and the abundance of TV panels. But despite some notable absences, there was no shortage of impressive offerings as well.
