“The sand gurgles and exhales.
The surf exhausts its reach on its parched flank.
Everything shimmers and bakes.
The sun does not ask for anything in return.”

Jamil Bazzi writes a stimulating critical piece about Eleanor Marx, daughter of Karl Marx, and her translation of Flaubert's Madame Bovary. Who would have thought that the daughter of the prophet of the downtrodden, and the pioneering theorist of labor relations in the world, would suffer under the brunt of invisible labor like this?

Rusted Radishes is proud to announce its participa

Rusted Radishes is proud to announce its participation in the Youthful Cities Programme, a cultural and creative skills exchange between Coventry (UK) and four international cities: Nairobi (Kenya), Bogota (Colombia), Detroit (Michigan, U.S.), and Beirut (Lebanon). Based in Coventry, UK’s 2021 City of Culture, the program is for young adults (18-25) to creatively respond to important, urgent and youth-focused issues in their cities. The program will culminate in the creation of four new artworks and an event which brings together the ideas and innovations from the exchanges to the BBC Contains Strong Language Festival and a three-day digital Global Youth Summit in Coventry.

Rusted Radishes is seeking six youth to join the Programme. Each youth will receive 2000 British pounds and travel to the UK for the BBC Contains Strong Language Festival.
