37 m. ago Why trans art matters more than ever: ‘It reflects how people live and love’

After the controversy over Amy Sherald’s portrait of a trans Statue of Liberty, trans artists speak about why their work speaks to an important momentPart of the magic of portraiture is how it renders so much of the human experience accessible to us, things we might never see otherwise. This has been very much on Black artist Amy Sherald’s mind.

England 131; South Africa 137-3; SA win by seven wicketsSonny Baker endures nightmare debut with ballThey say that if you fail to prepare you should prepare to fail, and it turns out that is what England were doing across the two understaffed days of training with which they launched themselves into this series. They proceeded to get bowled out for 131 in 24.3 overs, losing their last seven wickets for just 29 runs, before Aiden Markram humbled their bowlers in propelling South Africa towards victory by seven wickets, sealed with 175 balls to spare.A week ahead of this match Temba Bavuma’s team were in the middle of a convoluted, lengthy journey from Queensland to Yorkshire via Sydney, Singapore and London.
