Vietnam was the first so-called “living room war,” watched on TV and seen through remarkable photography. Photojournalists captured the war’s most personal moments, the best and worst of human nature. See the photos, 50 years after the war ended. nyti.ms/4iG1Kd0

Ukrainian teenagers who live on Russian-occupied Ukrainian lands have secret book clubs to discuss Ukrainian books.They take great risks doing that as anything Ukrainian is prohibited. The teenagers can be taken away from parents,be interrogated or face other dire consequences

Ukrainische KollegInnen verbreiten jene Fotos aus Butscha und anderswo, die so schrecklich sind, dass sie sie bisher nicht gezeigt haben. Those are the days.

The main problem is that it compares AI slop to the work of artists. But the use of generative AI has little to do with art, and much more with stock photos and other already generic imagery

A hand holding up a copy of Sally Stein's Migrant Mother, Migrant gender to the camera.
A bit off topic but I'm enjoying this immensely! A wonderful example of studying an image in depth. Plus, it gives an insight into the practice, life and relationships of a 'difficult woman'.

This one is especially interesting to me, but every piece in this issue I've read so far has left an impression. Two translations of Vasyl Stus poems or Yevhen Shybalov asking himself what makes a humanist kill, just to pick out two more contributions.
