Zohran Mamdani says Andrew Cuomo’s Super Pac altered his image in a mailer to voters, giving him a darker beardZohran Mamdani, the democratic socialist state assemblyman waging a progressive bid to become mayor of New York City, has accused donors to the frontrunner Andrew Cuomo of “blatant Islamophobia” after a mailer from their Super Pac altered Mamdani’s image giving him a darker, bushier beard.Mamdani, 33, posted a closeup of his face as featured in the mailer from the Cuomo-backing group Fix the City alongside the original photograph from which it was drawn.

The entire mass descended into the valley below, obliterating the village that had been there for more than 800 years. Continue reading...

For her latest exhibition, the Ethiopian photographer drove a minivan around the country, resulting in images that explore identity, gender and conflict. ‘It was a crash course in history,’ she saysGrowing up, Aïda Muluneh moved around a lot.
