Malcolm X: The Sword that Challenged America

Malcolm X; a fire lit in the heart of Black resistance. A Muslim minister, revolutionary, and fearless critic of white supremacy, he gave voice to a people tired of begging for humanity in a country that had long denied it to them. Through his belief in liberation by any means necessary, Malcolm X forced America to face the violence it had buried beneath its promises of freedom.

The Bad Dürrenberg Shaman: A Relic Of Our Ancient Selves.  

The Bad Dürrenberg burial was opened in 1934 by Nazi Archeologist, revealing a story of a powerful and revered disabled woman. Surviving the regime propaganda and the War, her story was recomposed piece by piece by modern science and it is now ours to read. The Shaman was a legend, for her present and for generations to come, but we have lost this tale to the inevitable march of time.

Neymar: A Wonder Kid That Never Grew Up

When Neymar broke onto the scene in 2009, many fans anointed him as the future of Brazilian football, an expectation that he carried for the rest of his career, as both a goal and a burden. Nowadays, as his career enters its final stages, Neymar's public image is affected by both his professional shortcomings and his amazingly charming style of play.

Love, Myself

I still think about those small purple lights. Maybe the truest thing a legend can leave behind isn't a record no one will ever break, but a room full of strangers who walk out having learned, a little more than they knew before, how to love themselves. I'm still learning it. I suspect I always will be.

Rosa Luxemburg: The Legend I Found In The Footnotes

History is often told through the lives of a few great thinkers—most of them men. Yet, countless women have shaped political, social, philosophical and cultural thought while remaining at the margins of collective memory, only to be largely forgotten. Rosa Luxemburg is one of them: a thinker whose legacy still challenges us to reconsider who we choose to remember, and who gets left in the footnotes

Prima Della Prima Volta

Del “ragazzo di Corso Como” hanno già scritto in tanti, e molto meglio di quanto avrei potuto fare io. Per questo non volevo aggiungere un altro articolo su ciò che gli è successo. Volevo raccontare Davide. Tutti conoscono la prima volta in cui si è parlato di lui. Io volevo raccontare tutte quelle che l’hanno preceduta.

Shaping History Through Art: How Museums Define the Past

Museums are not neutral simply because they preserve culture; they also shape the terms through which culture is understood. Stolen art has long been displayed not as evidence of colonial violence, but as shared heritage, softened by prestige and institutional authority. And that is exactly what allows museums to influence not only how art is seen, but how history itself is remembered.
The way museums choose to display art does more than just preserve the past; it shapes the way people learn to see it. A museum’s cultural authority often dictates who gets to claim that piece of history, with the question most…
