Storm the Heights of Culture: Public Art in the German Democratic Republic
Listen to ‘Aufbaulied’ (1948), sometimes called ‘Aufbaulied der FDJ’ (The Free German Youth’s Song of Rebuilding), written by Bertolt Brecht with music by Paul Dessau. In 1977, if you drove out to the northern shore of Lake Aasee in Münster, then part of West Germany, on a warm afternoon you would find three concrete pool balls the size of small cars resting on the grass by the shore: Claes Oldenburg’s Giant Pool Balls.
A Revolution Can Only Be the Child of Culture and Ideas
Listen to ‘Por Qué Cantamos / Canción Nueva’ (Why Do We Sing / New Song), from A Dos Voces (In Two Voices), a collaboration between Mario Benedetti and Daniel Viglietti that pairs Benedetti’s reading of ‘Por qué cantamos’ with Viglietti’s song ‘Canción Nueva’.

Michigan residents plagued by Flint water crisis face mounting bills for water they're afraid to use
Earlier this month, the city of Flint, Michigan, quietly mailed out several thousand notices to their water customers with overdue bills, threatening to place liens on their property and exposing homeowners to the possibility of foreclosure if they fail to pay. Anita Johnson is one of at least 9,000 customers the city says are more than six months behind on their bills.

Editor's Note: This project is in partnership with Bellingcat. Read Bellingcat’s full companion article here. A war following the Hamas attacks of Oct. 7 continues to take its toll on civilians. Israel’s stated aim in this conflict was to remove Hamas and bring hostages home.
