36 m. ago The CIA Book Club by Charlie English review – chapter and verse as a weapon of war

A gripping study of the CIA smuggling operation to get banned books behind the iron curtainIn March 1984 Polish customs officers noticed a suspicious truck. It had arrived on an overnight ferry from Copenhagen, docking at the Baltic port of Świnoujście. The truck’s interior was smaller than its exterior. Workmen broke through a walled-off inside panel. To their surprise, they found a cache of books – 800 of them – and illicit printing presses. And forbidden walkie-talkies. “Oh shit! Reactionary propaganda!” the officer exclaimed.The shipment was to be delivered to the Polish opposition movement Solidarity. The country’s communist leader, Gen Wojciech Jaruzelski, had banned Solidarity three years earlier. The forbidden books included critiques of the socialist system and pamphlets on human rights. Other works smuggled behind the iron curtain included Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, philosophical texts by Albert Camus and Hannah Arendt, and copies of the Manchester Guardian Weekly. Con...

96 m. ago ‘We had all this energy’: the landmark gathering of women that unnerved the Chinese government

In 1995, 30,000 women from all over the world gathered near Beijing for what became a seminal moment in the women’s rights movement. Some of those who were there reflect on what has been achieved sinceIn September 1995, tens of thousands of women from around the world gathered in a sleepy town nearly 40 miles (60km) north of Beijing. The original plan had been to meet in the capital but, unnerved by such a large number of women, the Chinese authorities had insisted they stay a safe distance from the city in the settlement of Huairou, much of which was still under construction.The government’s distrust ran deep: hotels were provided with extra blankets in case the women decided to stage an impromptu naked protest; movement between Beijing and Huairou was strictly controlled; and the unseasonal rain was blamed on a concentration of women menstruating.

96 m. ago Paper tigers: how Kandinsky, Kokoscha and Klee sparked an artistic revolution

A new show of visceral, violent and anxiety-strewn drawings reveals a history of expressionist artists seeking to make the world a better placeGerman expressionism has rarely gone out of fashion since its emergence in the early years of the 20th century, but something about it feels particularly of the moment today. Perhaps that’s not so surprising for a movement that sought to define, graphically represent and challenge a time fraught with the threat of war, economic uncertainty and cultural conflict that often shaded into misogyny.A large exhibition of work by the Blue Rider group occupied Tate Modern in London for much of last year and is now followed by a more focused show at the Courtauld Gallery. With Graphic Intent seeks to examine expressionism’s engagement with some of these heightened themes through one characteristic aspect of activity. “Their work on paper was central to the project,” says Niccola Shearman who, along with co-curator Emily Christensen, has brought togethe...

2 h. ago Oscars 2025 big moments: Brody beats orchestra, Brits keep it classy and Kieran Culkin botches his big moment

The awards ceremony can’t escape Harvey Weinstein and a two fairytales come a cropperAnora dominates the Oscars — here’s the complete list of winnersWhile the dominance of last year’s Oppenheimer showed that big films will forever have their place at the Oscars, the Academy has increasingly gravitated to the smaller movie. Back in 2017, Moonlight became the best picture winner with the smallest ever budget (about $1.5m) and since then, films like Coda ($10m), Parasite ($11m) and Nomadland ($5m) have continued to bring indie films back to the main stage. This year, blockbusters like Wicked and Dune: Part Two might have scored major nominations but they had to settle for below-the-line wins, typically where bigger budget films have now tended to remain. The films that won above the line such as Anora ($6m), The Brutalist ($10m) and A Real Pain ($3m) relied on campaigns that stressed the importance of making a lot from a little and it meant that the night was ultimately another success...
