Looking at some photos from one of my earlier Libe

Looking at some photos from one of my earlier Liberatum festivals. I was broke, dedicated, ambitious and fearless but would never listen to the answer ‘no’. Haha! One of the biggest challenges of growing older is to deal with fear and risks. I didn’t think twice about them in my 20s but as I am approaching 40 I think twice about everything or even three times and analyse and evaluate before jumping. I want to fight against this new development and go back to how I used to be. Safety for me has never been interesting. It’s in the unknown and uncertain that we all thrive, create our best work and blossom. Happy Weekend. - Pablo 🤍✨

All ideologies are idiotic, whether religious or political, for it is conceptual thinking, the conceptual word, which has so unfortunately divided man.

To be free of all authority, of your own and that of another, is to die to everything of yesterday, so that your mind is always fresh, always young, innocent, full of vigour and passion. It is only in that state that one learns and observes. And for this, a great deal of awareness is required, actual awareness of what is going on inside yourself, without correcting it or telling it what it should or should not be, because the moment you correct it you have established another authority, a censor.

Find out for yourself what are the possesions and ideals that you do not desire. By knowing what you do not want, by elimination, you will unburden the mind, and only then will it understand the essential which is ever there.

One of the unconscious motivations of being transgender, for me, is that it was a real alien thing to do when I did it, and it still is. I knew it would keep me in this peripheral, outsider vantage point, which is essential for my work; if I get too comfortable, there go the ideas.

I eventually got an orchiectomy in Tijuana and the full sex change surgery in Belgium in 1993. It’s done its job in keeping me alienated. I feel like a hybrid.

The thing that’s unique at this point in my life is that I’ve never done anything to achieve real maturity, like having other people depend on me or owning property. I’ve never even owned an automobile that cost over three figures.

The only wisdom I have is that in order for government to succeed we need a balance of male and female influence. If it’s out of balance, it doesn’t work. The whole idea of the patriarchy, of this hierarchy, came with the advent of property. Before, the two sides were more harmonious. We need to achieve that with our modern world, and that’s the only wisdom I have! The rest is just knowledge. - Pippa Garner @misc.pippa

Remember this, for it is as true as true gets: Your body is not a lemon. You are not a machine. The Creator is not a careless mechanic. Human female bodies have the same potential to give birth well as aardvarks, lions, rhinoceri, elephants, moose, and water buffalo. Even if it has not been your habit throughout your life so far, I recommend that you learn to think positively about your body.

It is important to keep in mind that our bodies must work pretty well, or their wouldn't be so many humans on the planet.

Stories teach us in ways we can remember. They teach us that each woman responds to birth in her unique way and how very wide-ranging that way can be. Sometimes they teach us about silly practices once widely held that were finally discarded. They teach us the occasional difference between accepted medical knowledge and the real bodily experiences that women have - including those that are never reported in medical textbooks nor admitted as possibilities in the medical world.

They also demonstrate the mind/body connection in a way that medical studies cannot. Birth stories told by women who were active participants in giving birth often express a good deal of practical wisdom, inspiration, and information for other women. Positive stories shared by women who have had wonderful childbirth experiences are an irreplaceable way to transmit knowledge of a woman's true capacities in pregnancy and birth.

Bougainville Island is the main island of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville of Papua New Guinea and has a population of approximately 300.000 (2019 census). The island is primarily forested with a diverse tropical ecosystem. Bougainville has one of the world's largest copper deposits, which has been under development since 1972, but was shut down in a popular revolution against the foreign-owned mining interests.

The first arrivals in Bougainville were ethnically Australo-Melanesian, related to Papuans and Aboriginal Australians. Around 3.000 years ago, Austronesians associated with the Lapita culture also settled on the islands, bringing agriculture and pottery. Present-day Bougainvilleans are descended from a mixture of the two populations, and both Austronesian and non-Austronesian languages are spoken to this day.

There are many indigenous languages in Bougainville Province and none of the languages are spoken by more than 20% of the population. The majority of people on Bougainville are Christian, an estimated 70% being Roman Catholic and a substantial minority United Church of Papua New Guinea since 1968. - Atlas of Humanity

We really have to understand the person we want to love. If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love. If we only think of ourselves, if we know only our own needs and ignore the needs of the other person, we cannot love. We must look deeply in order to see and understand the needs, aspirations, and suffering of the person we love. This is the ground of real love. You cannot resist loving another person when you really understand him or her.

From time to time, sit close to the one you love, hold his or her hand, and ask, 'Darling, do I understand you enough? Or am I making you suffer? Please tell me so that I can learn to love you properly. I don't want to make you suffer, and if I do so because of my ignorance, please tell me so that I can love you better, so that you can be happy." If you say this in a voice that communicates your real openness to understand, the other person may cry.

That is a good sign, because it means the door of understanding is opening and everything will be possible again.

Maybe a father does not have time or is not brave enough to ask his son such a question. Then the love between them will not be as full as it could be. We need courage to ask these questions, but if we don't ask, the more we love, the more we may destroy the people we are trying to love. True love needs understanding. With understanding, the one we love will certainly flower.

Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That's its balance.

One thing: you have to walk, and create the way by your walking; you will not find a ready-made path. It is not so cheap, to reach to the ultimate realization of truth. You will have to create the path by walking yourself; the path is not ready-made, lying there and waiting for you. It is just like the sky: the birds fly, but they don't leave any footprints. You cannot follow them; there are no footprints left behind.

Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny--he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally--you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you.

"I was burnt in a house fire at the age of 18 months.

I lost a few limbs, my hair; a few toes. I have only got one ear so my balance is always off, as you can image (laughs).

It was when I grew older is when the questions started. Everyone was wearing makeup and mini skirts around me and I was still covering my head with a hat because I had lost my hair in the fire and my legs with long skirts. Why do you keeping covering your body? Why Is your head in a scarf? And I’d “its cos I want to.” But I didn’t understand why my answers weren’t enough for them. For me, this is the way I lived. This was my normal.

"Its harder being a female. It's the roles, the perceptions… that society compartmentalises us into. Boys need to be tough and girls should be caring and girly.

And that’s the same with being Black. If you are Black you are meant to be a certain way, behave a certain way, speak a certain way.

Also, because you won’t see many Black burn survivors, it sometimes feels like, I’m a “token”. Even for the opportunities that come my way… one does think, is it because you need more representation or is it actually because you are genuinely interested in listening to what I have to say?

But when it comes to race, it is not just people who are of a different colour than myself but some of my biggest challenges come from within my own culture.

The way you look, matters a lot in Black culture, so that was a long journey of acceptance for me… understanding, where I actually stand.

I felt like an outsider, but judgement was quick to come by from others as well. “Oh you don’t talk Black, you don’t act black” I was often reminded.””

Being a Black-British; female; burn survivor has come with its multiple narratives for Raiche. It is a story of marginalisation at multiple levels. A story of perceptions.

“Ya! Im living my best life. I wonder sometimes when people walk up to me and say I inspire them. While I am just living my life… I somehow inspire. I guess it’s because scars have a beautiful way of telling a story… a shared story of many commons.” - @raichemederick_

MADRE delves into who I am in relation to my female lineage and who I have become in relation to where I was born. The experience is a return to the womb, a journey back to my motherland in Bolivia. While mine is a multi-cultural country with a rich loom of femininity, the portrayal of women remains whitewashed, unidimensional and phallocentric.

In order to challenge this inherent machismo, this work celebrates diversity and complexity by looking at the contradictions of my country through the portrayal of its women.

The project became a cathartic experience that enabled me to (re)connect to my ancestry and through it (re)potentialize the history of Bolivia. In this series, women are depicted through the archetypes of Mary Magdalene and Mary the Virgin but repossessed to reflect Andean traditions.

To this day Catholicism permeates our society’s understanding of womanhood but it is in syncretism that the essence of our culture emerges.

Consequently, the photographs portray an existence interconnected and bridged by both physical and mythological elements – a dance between the Hanan Pacha (the upper world in Incan mythology) and the Uku Pacha (the under or inner world) where women experience potentiality, change, loss, decline, and death. - Marisol Mendez interview to Shutterhub

(This text was written before the Taliban took power in Afghanistan in 2021)

Afghans are being killed and injured in greater numbers than at any time since the beginning of the US war there 14 years ago. Inside the emergency room at the Emergency Surgical Center for War Victimsin Kabul, the lucky ones are saved by a dedicated but consistently exhausted staff of Afghan and foreign doctors and nurses.

This project documents the increasing violence suffered by Afghan civilians, a direct result of the withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan in 2014. Every day through the front gate passes a steady flow of minivan ambulances and Toyota Corolla taxis bearing wounded civilians from the provinces into the hospital. They come from a huge area of central Afghanistan, a constellation of places that all have one thing in common- fierce, deadly fighting.

As the fighting escalates between the Taliban and the Afghan security forces, more and more of them are caught in the fighting. The increasing price paid by noncombatants in Afghanistan is a harbinger for an unstable future for the country, and a legacy of the US war there. - Victor J Blue

A Liberatum Original Artwork for Louis Vuitton envisioned by Pablo Ganguli:

Against the backdrop of a shimmering blue universe full of sparkling stars and luminescent planets, the artwork symbolises a galaxy full of dreams, profound life changing journeys and past experiences to expand human consciousness. Bodies of all shapes and ethnicities suspended in the air, flying into the universe in a magnificent sculptural form and gravity defying dance. It is a poignant representation of the uniqueness of the human interconnection and how deeply we influence and affect each other in our journeys. The tree of human life.

@louisvuitton #LOUIS200 Liberatum was invited earlier this year by Louis Vuitton as one of 200 visionaries for a special global celebratory programme to mark the 200th anniversary of Monsieur Louis Vuitton. "LOUIS 200: The Exhibition" kicks off its global journey beginning at the Louis Vuitton's historic home in Asnières, west of Paris on 9th December 2021.

In recent years, Mexico City has become an international epicentre for contemporary culture. The development within the business, creative, environmental, and luxury sectors has turned the Mexican capital into a global metropolitan force.

Following its success in key cities around the world, and in honour of the spectacular cultural moment Mexico has been going through, Liberatum hosted an international leadership summit and festival of culture in Mexico City from 15-18 March 2018. This momentous event provided an impactful platform where some of the finest minds in the world came together to collaborate on a compelling and original programme with their Mexican counterparts open to the general public.

Liberatum Mexico was a world-class, prestigeous forum dedicated to cultural diplomacy with participants of the highest international calibre – from Mexico to the world.

The festival took place during three days, featuring live events – conferences, panels, talks, debates, performances, workshops, screenings, exhibitions, etc. – in several landmark venues around the city, and complemented by an evening programme of celebrations, incredible moments, special events, and the Liberatum Cultural Honour Gala.

It is your power to be able to show proudly the history of your life through your skin. Don’t hide it. Embrace it with every fibre of your being.

In an age when showing your age is considered unthinkable or even shameful, go against the system and show it in all its glory and spread the joy of being your true self.

Your body, your skin and your hair are the map of your journey. They show your past which have guided you so nobly to your present and they are beautifully taking you to your future. Why not celebrate this powerful gift every single day? - Liberatum

You cannot reconcile creativeness with technical achievement. You may be perfect in playing the piano, and not be creative.

You may be able to handle color, to put paint on canvas most cleverly, and not be a creative painter...having lost the song, we pursue the singer. We learn from the singer the technique of song, but there is no song; and I say the song is essential, the joy of singing is essential.

When the joy is there, the technique can be built up from nothing; you will invent your own technique, you won't have to study elocution or style. When you have, you see, and the very seeing of beauty is an art.

What is a body? What is in a name? We in our respective societies set the rules to be followed blindly.

It was once considered treason to bring new technology into a community. Such blasphemy would be met with death. So what's in a body? What's in a name? If I was assigned male at birth but choose to identify as female would this cast me out of societies safety and comfort?

If I were to choose an alias outside my cultures framework would I be left to fend for myself? Against the patriarchy. against capitalism. Today's modern day wolf pack isn't hiding behind sheep's clothing. And neither am I. - Najee

I’m too “much” as I get told often so I want to remind you this account is about bending your mind, the patterns and belief you have been conditioned to live by unconsciously and questioning if something is right for us as individuals as oppose to doing them because we where taught to by the patriarchy and because “ others do it”.

9 year old me remembers a Hippy at the park pushing her child on the swing happy as can be and another woman out aloud said“ for god sake did you see her the filth bag”!

I was 11 starting high school, my first week of school I cried almost every day in the toilets because I was picked on for having hairy legs while every other preteen had smooth baby bum like legs. I ran home, grabbed a razor, saved up instead of down clueless and sliced my knee open. It bled straight for 3 days after.

I am now questioning everything I know. It’s not a crisis I just finally feel WOMAN enough, ME enough, to ask myself the questions about what triggers me.

Last week I saw an image on social media of a women with armpit hair and felt so grossed out just looking at her feeling embarrassed for her. For me that was a huge sign of SELF REFLECTION. She’s just living her life, why am I so triggered why is my relationship with body hair so disgusted.

Every time I’ve had sex in my life I dare not let another touch me unless I was as sooth as silk. Every time I wore a dress I dare not wear it with stubble hairs on my legs. Every time my snail trail grew thick and black after pregnancy I dare not show it, quick hide it you look filthy I’d tell myself.

I needed to heal that part of my judgment towards others and myself.

I grew out my hair this month, and I probably never will again. But I found out a few things and discovered some truths and answered some of my own “whys”

I choose to shave for ME but when I don’t it doesn’t change my worth toward myself anymore.

It’s NEVER up to us to choose what makes people feel more like them and what is right for them. Your only in control of your own choices and Body.

What will you stop judging without understanding? - @shani.chantel 📸 @shani.chantel

20 years of Liberatum and 38 years of my own life so far. I started Liberatum at the age of 17 to connect cultures and communities who did not have access to the arts free of charge. So many memories. Looking back today at the past feeling humble and grateful, and very much looking forward to the future. Still haven’t changed my priorities: building cultural bridges and promoting freedom of speech through creativity. So much misinformation out there and so many governments wanting to shutdown people and lock those up who are different and who look different and who think differently. We have been “othered” for decades. No more. I THANK YOU ALL 💙🤍🕊. - Pablo Ganguli

Portraits of burn survivor and artist @w.i.k.i.d.e from Kibera Slum. He was only two when he got trapped in a house fire. He has undergone 17 surgeries to treat the burn scars and has experienced bullying as a child. However, he is resilient. He writes:

When I look in the mirror, I see myself as beautiful because I am kind of unique. When I was younger people would call me crocodile or leather skin and I would often fight them. I developed strong self-esteem by toughening and standing up for myself.

People have called leather skin, but I see that as a positive because it means that I have tough skin emotionally.

My advice for young people like me who have scars and experience bullying is for them to be positive and to use the rocks thar people throw at them to build a strong foundation of self- esteem. The bullies are weak. They can only use their words to hurt you but deep down they know you are strong and that is why they're afraid. They will try to demoralize you so you can't see your own strength and use it against them.

Lord, thou knowest better than myself that I am growing older and will soon be old. Keep me from becoming too talkative, and especially from the unfortunate habit of thinking that I must say something on every subject and at every opportunity.

Release me from the idea that I must straighten out other peoples' affairs. With my immense treasure of experience and wisdom, it seems a pity not to let everybody partake of it. But thou knowest, Lord, that in the end I will need a few friends.

Keep me from the recital of endless details; give me wings to get to the point.

Grant me the patience to listen to the complaints of others; help me to endure them with charity. But seal my lips on my own aches and pains -- they increase with the increasing years and my inclination to recount them is also increasing.

I will not ask thee for improved memory, only for a little more humility and less self-assurance when my own memory doesn't agree with that of others. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be wrong.

Keep me reasonably gentle. I do not have the ambition to become a saint -- it is so hard to live with some of them -- but a harsh old person is one of the devil's masterpieces.

Make me sympathetic without being sentimental, helpful but not bossy. Let me discover merits where I had not expected them, and talents in people whom I had not thought to possess any. And, Lord, give me the grace to tell them so.
