<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B3kt1" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B3kt1.jpg"/> <p> <strong> JAKARTA, </strong> — Film Gundik garapan sutradara Anggy Umbara secara resmi meluncurkan teaser poster terbaru-nya. </p> <p> Anggy menyatakan bahwa poster yang pertama kali dikeluarkan menunjukkan bahu Luna Maya di dalam bathtub tidak lolos sensor. </p> <p> " Poster yang pertama ternyata tidak lolos sensor. Namun, kami telah berdiskusi dengan LSF," ungkap Anggy Umbara ketika ditemui di kawasan Senayan, Jakarta Pusat beberapa waktu lalu. </p> <p> </p> <p> Akhirnya, Anggy merancang kembali poster kedua untuk film itu. </p> <p> Pada poster terkini tersebut, nampak Luna Maya tengah berendam dalam suatu bak mandi melingkar yang telah diisi dengan kain merah serta bunga-bungaan. </p> <p> "Akhirnya kami membuat poster baru dan kategori-nyanya diubah menjadi SU (Seluruh Usia)," jelas Anggy Umbara. </p> <p> Pada kesempatan tersebut, Gundik secara resmi mengeluarkan trailer selama satu menit yang sebagian besar memperlihatkan Luna Maya dalam peran barunya sebagai Gundik. </p> <p> Selanjutnya, beberapa pencuri pun menjadi target mudah bagi Gundik di dalam sebuah rumah. </p> <p> </p> <p> "Bila diminta menjelaskan perasaaannya, cukup kacau balau. Pertanyaan tentang Gundik membuatnya bingung. Karena biasanya istilah tersebut memiliki konotasi negatif.

MOWAA Captivates Local Investors, Secures $25M from Global & Domestic Sources

<p> Phillip Ihenacho, the Executive Director of the Museum of West African Art (MOWAA), has called for local financial support for the institution. He mentioned that despite raising $25 million primarily through international donations, numerous global stakeholders wish to witness greater Nigerian involvement and leadership in the museum’s operations. </p> <p> During a dinner held in Lagos to honor MOWAA and the reintroduction of the Nigeria Pavilion at the 2024 Venice Biennale, he made these comments. </p> <p> The dinner, organized by Ike Chioke—a member of the Development Board of MOWAA—and his spouse, Yvonne, functioned both as a celebratory event and a fundraiser aimed at supporting the upcoming launch of the MOWAA campus in Benin City, Edo State. </p> <p> During his welcoming speech, Chioke, who works as an investment banker and promotes culture, emphasized the importance of safeguarding Nigeria’s cultural identity by actively investing in its legacy. </p> <p> "One of the initiatives my spouse and I have backed is the Museum of West African Art," Chioke started addressing the MOWAA patrons, art collectors, and culture aficionados present at the event. </p> <p> He went on, "This evening, we will discuss this topic with individuals who have a keen interest in the arts, cherish cultural values, and appreciate heritage and traditions. The institution isn’t merely a conventional museum; rather, it functions as an educational hub focused on engaging Nigerians with their own history and legacy. This initiative emerges during a period when global attention is increasingly turning towards Nigeria’s progress and various advancements." </p> <p> In reflecting upon the organization's path since its founding in 2019, Chioke stated that "MOWAA has reached maturity," noting that one of several structures at their facility in Benin City is now functioning. He underscored the museum’s positioning in Benin—a city famous for its ancient bronze works—as a purposeful decision reflective of MOWAA’s overarching mission to establish cultural stewardship within an area intrinsically linked to Africa's rich legacy of artistic achievement. </p> <p> He pointed out that this initiative isn't just about heritage, culture, and community; it also revolves around crafting identities and legacies. </p> <p> Chioke mentions that there is an existing Capital Symphony, and since the institute is up and running, "We are seeking support from everyone passionate about art, individuals concerned with Nigeria’s heritage and cultural preservation, to aid us in promoting and backing this institution. It has turned into a symbol of telling our own narrative so that both adults and children can understand their origins and recognize how these roots influence who they are." </p> <p> Echoing Chioke's sentiment, Ihenacho elaborated that the museum was established with an ethos focused on more than just restitution and memory; it also aimed at rejuvenation. </p> <p> He stated, "Our intention was not to serve as a tribute to artwork created centuries past. The artisans who worked with bronze 600 years ago had successors prepared to restart their craft. We must glance towards the past merely to better navigate our future." </p> <p> Ihenacho highlighted that the museum aims to empower a new wave of creators beyond just visual arts, extending its reach to include designers, musicians, and filmmakers through its wide-ranging goals. </p> <p> He pointed out how views of the nation have evolved over the last 20 to 25 years. He explained that previously, talking about Nigeria often led to conversations centered around unfavorable encounters. However, nowadays, people react with appreciation, especially when it comes to Nigeria’s thriving sectors like its arts, culture, including music, cinema, and fashion. </p> <p> Ihenacho proposed that this cultural impact will eventually outstrip oil and gas as the nation's key strength. </p> <p> He highlighted that the museum intends to leverage this change by focusing on its active part in nurturing and displaying Nigeria’s cultural heritage instead of just maintaining a conventional, unchanging presence. </p> <p> "The structure we will be relocating to in a few weeks is the biggest and most sophisticated collections and storage facility in Africa," he explained, detailing its rammed-earth construction and eco-friendly design that runs solely on solar power. </p> <p> It stands as the sole museum certified by EDGE globally and rests above the biggest archaeological excavation site in Nigeria’s history. </p> <p> Attracting nearby investors and art lovers, he stated, "It is crucial that even if you contribute only a small amount, every bit counts towards making this project successful since your funds will facilitate unlocking further capital. Therefore, I urge all of you to think about donating what you can." </p> <p> MOWAA’s Director, Ore Disu, broadened the discussion to highlight upcoming engaging programs such as artist residency opportunities, conservation projects, and initiatives aimed at fostering knowledge creation. </p> <p> "We are transitioning from developing a concept to bringing a campus to life," she stated, adding that MOWAA will soon welcome scholars, traditional artisans, and modern innovators to encourage vital discussions and cooperation. </p> <p> Disu mentioned that MOWAA was created not just to conserve art but also to foster new creations rooted in profound cultural insight. </p> <p> “She asked: What narratives have we yet to share? Which insights have been underappreciated? And how do we empower a fresh cohort of storytellers with the necessary framework, stage, and recognition they merit?” </p> <p> Featuring an active campus, cutting-edge conservation amenities, and a focus on community engagement, MOWAA bridges the gap between safeguarding our legacy and fostering cultural advancement. </p> <p> Disu elaborates, "Our voyage has begun. We possess the team, and now we seek additional fortresses to join us on this path." </p> <p> Aindrea Emelife, the Curator at MOWAA, delivered an impassioned speech reflecting on her personal journey with the organization and the profound influence of the Nigeria Pavilion project, which was launched for the first time last year. </p> <p> "There are certain concepts that come not as solutions, but as invitations," she explained, referring to 'The Nigeria Imaginary'—the exhibition's theme—not as an assertion enforced upon viewers, but rather as a query derived from Nigeria's shared essence. </p> <p> Emelife characterized the pavilion as a place where different facets of Nigerian identity—“protests and poetry, quietness and clamor, traditional arts and modern ideas”—could coexist peacefully rather than clash. </p> <p> She commended the pavilion’s artists—Fatima Tugar, Onyeka Igwe, Mika Shonibare, Toyin Oji Odetola, Tengienen Jones, and Miss DK—for producing pieces that question and redefine Nigerian stories. </p> <p> Art isn't just ornamentation," she asserted, "it's a statement. </p> <p> As they raised their wineglasses at the evening’s conclusion, with mellow jazz music softly playing in the backdrop, Chioke remarked, "MOWAA isn’t merely a museum; it represents our narrative, and now is the moment for us to share it." </p> Provided by Syndigate Media Inc.

Amadou Bagayoko: How a Blind Musician's Joyous Songs Transformed West African Music [International Edition]

<p> <p> Amadou Bagayoko (born 1954, deceased 2025), the Malian guitarist, vocalist, and composer known for his work with the renowned duo Amadou & Marius. Amadou & Mariam -known as "the visually impaired pair from Mali"- passed away On April 4th in Bamako, he passed away at the age of 70. </p> </p> <p> <p> The wedded musicians, who crossed paths when she was 18 and he was 21, combined classic Malian melodies with Western rock and various other styles to create a distinctive and vibrant new musical style. Their success led them to sell numerous records featuring popular tracks such as Sunday in Bamako and Sabali . </p> </p> <p> <p> They would travel around the globe, opening The 2006 FIFA Men's World Cup, closing the 2024 Paralympics, singing At the Nobel Peace Prize concert honoring former U.S. President Barack Obama, he also received accolades throughout the event. </p> </p> <p> <p> Even with their widespread recognition, they continued as dedicated advocates for people with disabilities in Africa. They were esteemed in their homeland for their honesty, and Amadou’s death has been deeply mourned there. </p> </p> <p> <p> As a musician and professor of music with a research I focused on Mali’s music scene, where I had multiple meetings and interviews with Amadou. His demise marks the conclusion of an epoch for Mali’s longstanding supremacy in the global music industry. </p> </p> <p> <p> <strong> Who are Amadou & Mariam? </strong> </p> </p> <p> <p> Amadou Bagayoko and Mariam Doumbia were passionate advocates for the Institute for the Blind in Bamako, an organization where their paths crossed back in the 1970s when they were studying together. Later, they became music educators at this institute. The two tied the knot in 1980 and stayed deeply connected throughout their lives, eventually establishing themselves as Amadou & Mariam. </p> </p> <p> <p> Their popular tunes merged the musical heritage of the south region in Mali, which is home to them both (Bougouni, Sikasso), blending it with components drawn from rock, reggae, and Cuban beats. These influences were reshaped via their creativity initially and subsequently influenced by key producers down the line. </p> </p> <p> <p> <strong> Read more: Toumani Diabaté, the renowned kora player from Mali – a personal reflection by his music producer </strong> </p> </p> <p> <p> Actually, the family names Bagayoko and Doumbia originate from the ancient clan known as Boula, which has roots tracing back to the era of the emperor and was historically associated with blacksmithing. Sunjata Keita , was established in 1235. Blacksmiths (known as numu) frequently held positions of power as kings. Their common legacy from the esteemed history of these blacksmiths plays a crucial role in fostering their musical collaboration. </p> </p> <p> <p> <strong> Amadou Bagayoko </strong> </p> </p> <p> <p> Amadou's career lasted over five decades, starting in the early 1970s when he performed as an electric guitarist with multiple significant Malian dance bands of that era, such as Les Ambassadeurs, led by the renowned singer. Salif Keita . </p> </p> <p> <p> President Moussa Traoré 's 23-year military regime from 1968 to 1991 favoured the voices of the griots These familial musicians extolled the virtues of those in authority using an ornate and shrill manner. </p> </p> <p> <p> By the late 1980s, the era of these dance bands was diminishing. It was around this time that "la grande couple aveugle du Mali" (the renowned blind duo from Mali) emerged—initially consisting of just two vocalists supported by Amadou’s guitar playing, all captured on tape. </p> </p> <p> <p> Towards the conclusion of Traore's tenure, Amadou & Mariam's music echoed the democratic aspirations that the nation eagerly desired. </p> </p> <p> <p> Many factors distinguished this pair from other local artists. They did not belong to the traditional Griot lineage. Their compositions frequently explored the theme of love’s potency—a complex subject in a nation where polygamy (up to four spouses, sanctioned by Islamic law) is customary. </p> </p> <p> <p> Their appearance onstage as a blind couple, exuding affection and mutual support, dressed in stylish, matching outfits, helped elevate the visibility of individuals with disabilities. The tunes they performed were lively and engaging. </p> </p> <p> <p> <strong> Meeting Amadou and Mariam </strong> </p> </p> <p> <p> While rummaging through my research materials lately, I stumbled upon an image I had captured on some of my older slides, tucked away deep within my archive. Seeing it once more was quite enlightening. </p> </p> <p> <p> I captured the photograph, with their consent, during my initial meeting with Amadou and Mariam in 1992 in Bamako. This happened at what is currently called the Bogolan recording studio, which was their intended location for making some records back then. </p> </p> <p> <p> This portrayal captures Amadou and Mariam during their younger days, exuding pride and dignity—qualities that stayed unchanged throughout their lives. During our initial meeting, I was deeply impressed by their courtesy, their unwavering faith in their musical endeavor, and their steadfast resolve to share it with a broader audience. </p> </p> <p> <p> At the time, I regretted not having connections in the recording business to assist them. However, they didn’t surrender and gradually developed their careers, strengthening their distinctive sound and image, which continues to stand out amidst Mali’s rich musical landscape. </p> </p> <p> <p> <strong> World fame </strong> </p> </p> <p> <p> Against all the odds, with their conviction, talent, strong melodies and good production, Amadou & Mariam became hugely successful in the early 2000s. The album that really launched their international career was Dimanches à Bamako (Sundays in Bamako), masterfully crafted by the French-Spanish singer-songwriter Manu Chao , who had achieved significant global success with his innovative and appealing album Clandestino in 1998. </p> </p> <p> <p> He incorporated some of those production elements into Amadou & Mariam's music. "Dimanches à Bamako" honors the lively culture surrounding Sunday street weddings in Bamako, where civil marriage ceremonies are complimentary. </p> </p> <p> <p> "Dimanches à Bamako" was the initial album among multiple successful records by Amadou & Mariam, which were produced by various European producers including Damon Albarn, featuring tracks like Tie ni Mousso (The Couple) capitalized on the endearing stage persona of Amadou & Mariam as a loving married pair. The tracks were catchy and engaging yet retained a powerful impact. </p> </p> <p> <p> Following our initial encounter in 1992, we crossed paths numerous times thereafter, often due to radio appearances. </p> </p> <p> <p> Amadou was a highly revered and celebrated musician whose melodies resonated with people across the globe. His artistry earned him deep affection and respect domestically and internationally, attributed not only to his exceptional skills as a gifted guitarist and songwriter but also due to the compelling presence he and Mariam exuded during performances. </p> </p> <p> <p> As a team, they will be acknowledged and revered for the principles embodied in their music: equity, affection, persistence despite impairment, and honesty. My sympathies go to Mariam. </p> </p> <p> <p> Lucy Durán , Music Professor at SOAS, University of London </p> </p> Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc. Syndigate.info ).

Music Industry's Struggle Against AI Faces Limited Success

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BJqX9" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BJqX9.jpg"/> <p class="align-left"> The music sector is combating this issue on various platforms, in legal settings via the courts, and alongside lawmakers in an effort to stop the pilfering and misappropriation of artwork generated by artificial intelligence—but progress continues to be challenging. </p> <p class="align-left"> Recently, Sony Music stated that they have already requested the removal of 75,000 deepfakes — which include fake images, sounds, or video content that can easily pass as authentic — highlighting the extent of the problem. </p> <p class="align-left"> According to the cybersecurity firm Pindrop, AI-created music exhibits distinct characteristics and can be easily identified. Nevertheless, this type of music appears ubiquitous. </p> <p class="align-left"> "Pinddrop, a company specializing in voice analysis, noted that even when AI-generated songs sound realistic, they frequently contain minor inconsistencies in pitch variations, rhythms, and digital patterns that you wouldn’t typically find in human performances," he stated. </p> <p class="align-left"> However, it only takes a few minutes on YouTube or Spotify — two leading music streaming services — to come across a bogus 2Pac rap about pizza or an Ariana Grande cover of a K-pop song she didn’t actually perform. </p> <p class="align-left"> Sam Duboff, who leads policy at Spotify, emphasized that they treat this matter with great seriousness and are developing new tools in this area to improve the situation further. </p> <p class="align-left"> YouTube mentioned it is "improving" its capability to detect AI-generated content, and might share updates within the next few weeks. </p> <p class="align-left"> "As the malicious players became somewhat more cognizant earlier on," musicians, record labels, and other entities within the music industry found themselves "responding reactively," according to Jeremy Goldman, an analyst at EMarketer. </p> <p class="align-left"> "Given the annual revenue in the multibillion-dollar range, YouTube has a significant stake in resolving this issue," Goldman stated, expressing his belief that they are earnestly addressing the problem. </p> <p class="align-left"> He stated, 'If you're on YouTube, you wouldn't want the platform to turn into an AI horror story.' </p> <h2> Litigation </h2> <p class="align-left"> However, apart from deepfakes, the music industry is especially worried about the improper utilization of its material to educate generative AI systems such as Suno, Udio, or Mubert. </p> <p class="align-left"> Last year, several prominent record labels initiated legal action in a federal court located in New York against the parent firm of Udio. They accused this entity of crafting its technological infrastructure using "copyrighted audio recordings with the endgame of luring away the audience, admirers, and prospective licensing partners of the very recordings they duplicated." </p> <p class="align-left"> Over nine months later, the proceedings have still not commenced properly. Similarly, a related case against Suno, which was brought up in Massachusetts, has also failed to start. </p> <p class="align-left"> The heart of the lawsuit revolves around the concept of fair use, which permits the usage of certain copyrighted materials without prior consent for specific purposes. This could potentially restrict how intellectual property rights are enforced. </p> <p class="align-left"> "Uncertainty truly prevails here," stated Joseph Fishman, who is a law professor at Vanderbilt University. </p> <p class="align-left"> Initial decisions may not be conclusive since differing views from various courts might lead to the matter being referred to the Supreme Court for resolution. </p> <p class="align-left"> Meanwhile, the key participants in AI-created music keep training their systems on material that is protected by copyright--raising the issue of whether the fight may be over before it truly begins. </p> <p class="align-left"> Fishman indicated that it might still be premature to conclude this: despite numerous models currently being trained on copyrighted content, updated iterations of these models keep emerging regularly. It remains uncertain whether future judicial rulings could lead to potential licensing complications for such models moving ahead. </p> <h2> Deregulation </h2> <p class="align-left"> In the legislative sphere, labels, artists, and producers have achieved minimal success. </p> <p class="align-left"> Various bills have been proposed in the US Congress, yet no substantial outcomes have emerged from them. </p> <p class="align-left"> Several states — most notably Tennessee, which is a hub for the influential country music sector — have implemented protective laws, particularly concerning deepfakes. </p> <p class="align-left"> Another possible hurdle comes from Donald Trump; as the Republican president, he has positioned himself as a strong advocate for deregulation, especially concerning AI. </p> <p class="align-left"> Many prominent figures in artificial intelligence have entered the fray, with Meta being a key player. The company has called for the administration to specify that utilizing publicly accessible data for training models is clearly within the bounds of fair use. </p> <p class="align-left"> Should Trump's administration follow this counsel, it might shift the advantage away from music industry experts, despite the judiciary technically having final say. </p> <p class="align-left"> The situation in Britain is not much improved, as the Labour government is contemplating changes to legislation that would permit AI firms to utilize creators' online content for developing their models, with the caveat that rights holders must actively choose to opt out. </p> <p class="align-left"> Over a thousand musicians, such as Kate Bush and Annie Lennox, came together to release an album in February titled "Is This What We Want?". The album features the sound of silence captured across multiple recording studios, serving as a musical statement against those efforts. </p> <p class="align-left"> According to analyst Goldman, AI is expected to keep posing challenges for the music industry -- provided it stays disorganized. </p> <p class="align-left"> The music business is highly splintered," he stated. "This fragmentation ends up being detrimental when trying to address this issue. </p>

His realistic creations spanned an array of subjects including pyramids, sphinxes, scenes like The Last Supper, and fantastical figures such as the Loch Ness Monster. </p> <p> During this period, another renowned sculptor named Jack Hayward made his indelible impression upon Weymouth’s beaches. Working from the 1930s through the 1970s, Jack gained recognition for his grandiose sand creations, often emulating historic religious structures. </p> <p> Mark Anderson, Fred Darrington's grandson, carried forward the family legacy, inheriting both his zeal and aptitude. </p> <p> In 2011, Mark established the Sandworld attraction at Lodmoor Country Park together with his colleague and fellow sand sculptor David Hicks. </p> <p> Maintaining the town’s long-standing heritage in sculpture, the family-friendly destination—which welcomes visitors starting today for the summer season—displays exclusive works by top-tier sand artists globally. Additionally, Mark persists with his creative process, crafting sculptures within his exhibit booth along the shoreline. </p> <p> The upcoming sand sculpture event at Sandworld this year offers a remarkable collection showcasing ancient beasts from 83 million years past, a vibrantly coloured Egyptian prince, iconic figures from kids' favourites, along with various innovative creations. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in interactive sessions and engaging events suitable for all ages. </p> <p> Enhancing the thrill further, renowned Indian sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik from Odisha will present an exclusive creation at this year’s event. Over three decades, Sudarsan has employed his talent for shaping sand as a medium to advocate cultural heritage and societal issues, garnering global recognition. The prime minister, Narendra Modi, bestowed upon him one of India’s top civil honours, and he remains a source of inspiration for emerging artists worldwide. </p> <p> In acknowledgment of his trip, Sudarsan is set to be honored with the Fred Darrington Award for Excellence in Art and Culture during a ceremony later today. </p>

Jhandewalan Temple in the national capital. </p> <p> On Wednesday, the festivities for the fourth and fifth days of Navratri were observed, and Goddess Durga was venerated as Mata Kushmanda and Mata Skandamata. </p> <p> According to Hindu mythology, Lord Brahma , Vishnu Ganesha and Shiva pooled their abilities to bring forth Goddess Katyayani.

Angelle Siyang-Le's Journey to Art Basel Hong Kong: An International Edition

The director of Asia's largest contemporary art fair on finding her voice through art and immersing herself in the artistic community <p> During my early years, I lived in Mainland China. My mother often brought me along as she traveled across various regions for work. Her career spanned several fields including journalism, trade, and publishing. The precise sequence of her professional endeavors remains unclear to me, but I do recall our frequent moves among these places. <a href="https://www.scmp.com/magazines/post-magazine/article/1395783/vicious-cycle-shenzhen-shanghai-two-wheels" title=""> Shanghai, Shenzhen </a> And Nanning, close to the Vietnamese border. When I was about 12 years old, I was dispatched to England. Similar to numerous youngsters during that era, I was among the group of children who were sent overseas for education. </p> <h3> <strong> Luck of the draw </strong> </h3> <div class="image-inline-container"> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BK2MZ" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BK2MZ.jpg"/> </div> <p> In primary school, we were encouraged to maintain a journal. I recall my teacher mentioning, "There's no need to begin your diary with ' jintian 'Today, you could begin by illustrating your day, adding a touch of creativity.' I must have been around eight or nine at the time. Personally, I preferred painting my days over merely documenting events that took place. </p> <h3> <strong> Finding a forte </strong> </h3> <p> Back when I was in mainland China, fields like art were not seen as legitimate subjects—anything beyond literature and science took a back seat. Consequently, it wasn’t until I relocated to England that I discovered my passion for art and design. It was only after being awarded a scholarship for my A-Level art studies that I thought to myself, “Maybe this could actually turn into a viable career.” </p> <p> Are you looking for insights into the most significant issues and global trends? Find your answers here. <a href="https://www.scmp.com/knowledge"> SCMP Knowledge </a> Our latest platform offers handpicked content including explainers, FAQs, analyses, and infographics, all provided by our acclaimed team. </p> <h3> <strong> Express permission </strong> </h3> <div class="image-inline-container"> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BK5eU" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BK5eU.jpg"/> </div> <p> When I was around 15 or 16 years old, my teacher brought to my attention <a href="https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/arts-culture/article/1456251/exhibition-reveals-paris-through-alberto-giacomettis-work" title=""> Alberto Giacometti's work </a> His creations aren’t particularly straightforward— they’re neither visually stunning nor vibrantly colored. However, I found myself intrigued by the backstory and reasons behind this artist’s production of such somber pieces. The weightiness present in both his paintings and sculptures struck me. For me, this represented the duality of what art can signify. Art isn’t merely about pleasant aspects of life; rather, it serves as an expressive medium and a historical record. This realization encouraged me to embrace art differently, viewing it through the lens of personal narrative and cultural documentation. </p> <h3> <strong> Master plan </strong> </h3> <p> My mom wasn’t supportive of my decision to pursue a fine arts degree. She felt that I should opt for something related to art, but with better prospects for employment. As a result, I went ahead with that alternative. <a href="https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/arts-culture/article/3261745/70-extraordinary-hong-kong-buildings-and-urban-spaces-designed-local-architects-feature-new-book" title=""> urban design and planning </a> at University College London, where I received an unconditional offer to continue my master's. I negotiated with my mother again to do art history for my master's because I had architectural history as a foundation. </p> <h3> <strong> Goodbye, Gagosian </strong> </h3> <p> During my master’s program, I worked in galleries and also interned at the Pinta Art Fair. Later, I received an invitation from the Gagosian to serve as a registrar. However, I chose to join my then boyfriend, who was living in Dubai, turning down the opportunity offered by Gagosian to relocate there with him. </p> <h3> <strong> Hello, Dubai </strong> </h3> <div class="image-inline-container"> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BJTUv" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BJTUv.jpg"/> </div> <p> The first time I went to Dubai, sometime between 2008 and 2009, the city was just starting to develop its modern art scene. I searched for galleries but could find only one or two. After interning at Art Dubai, I started looking into various possibilities, which led me to meet an individual named Rami Farook, who happened to be a private collector. He gave me employment. At that point, I informed my mom with these words: “I’ve landed a position in Dubai.” </p> <h3> <strong> Moving on up </strong> </h3> <p> I applied to <a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/society/article/3266349/hong-kong-tourism-board-seals-3-year-deal-art-basel-showcase-city-world-stage" title=""> Art Basel </a> Since I learned about the plan for a new exhibition opening in Hong Kong back in 2012, I decided to apply, not really expecting anything from it. However, I received a phone call the very next day. Before long, within just three weeks, I found myself relocating to Hong Kong. </p> <h3> <strong> Community spirit </strong> </h3> <div class="image-inline-container"> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BK7Nb" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BK7Nb.jpg"/> </div> <p> <a href="https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/arts-culture/article/3212755/call-dad-instead-art-basel-hong-kong-director-societys-expectations-women-soft-power-and-hong-kongs" title=""> Upon my arrival in Hong Kong </a> When I initially came to Dubai, the art world had significantly expanded compared to my early days there. However, the strong feeling of camaraderie, where everyone supported one another, remained comfortably recognizable, making the adjustment smooth. From Rami, I understood the significance of having a supportive community, which has stayed with me ever since. Over this span of 13 years, I believe I have developed alongside Hong Kong’s artistic circle. </p> <h3> <strong> In the family </strong> </h3> <p> I am blessed with two kids who live surrounded by art, which wasn’t always the case for me. Since they were infants, we've attended Art Basel together. When my eldest child arrived in early February, the next big event at this exhibition was just around the corner in March. Even as a newborn only one month old, he joined us at his inaugural Art Basel show. This has been an ongoing tradition ever since. My children exhibit remarkable creativity through painting; each expresses themselves freely without being confined by notions of correctness or error regarding artistic principles. For these young ones, engaging with art seems almost innate—a natural aspect woven into their essence from birth. </p> <p> More Articles from SCMP </p> <p> <a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3304034/china-hails-us-youtube-star-who-racks-10-million-views-beijing-shanghai-streams?utm_source=Microsoft&utm_medium=Off-Platform-referrals&utm_campaign=Off-Platform-referrals"> China praises US YouTuber IShowSpeed after he garners 10 million views during live streams in Beijing and Shanghai. </a> </p> <p> <a href="https://www.scmp.com/business/article/3304011/investors-bank-more-ai-driven-stock-upside-hong-kong-singapore-us-hsbc-survey?utm_source=Microsoft&utm_medium=Off-Platform-referrals&utm_campaign=Off-Platform-referrals"> Investors bet on increased AI-fueled gains in stocks from Hong Kong, Singapore, and the U.S., according to an HSBC survey. </a> </p> <p> <a href="https://www.scmp.com/economy/global-economy/article/3303964/china-europe-share-same-worry-about-unilateralism-can-work-together-esm-director?utm_source=Microsoft&utm_medium=Off-Platform-referrals&utm_campaign=Off-Platform-referrals"> China and Europe share concerns over unilateral actions and can collaborate effectively, says ESM director. </a> </p> <p> <a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/people-culture/china-personalities/article/3303732/china-big-eater-internet-star-li-hangze-admits-35-million-fans-she-man-disguise?utm_source=Microsoft&utm_medium=Off-Platform-referrals&utm_campaign=Off-Platform-referrals"> Chinese internet celebrity Li Hangze, known as a "big eater," reveals to her 35 million followers that she is actually male. </a> </p> <p> The article initially appeared on the South China Morning Post (www.scmp.com), which serves as the premier source for news coverage of China and Asia. </p> <p> Copyright © 2025.

Ariel NOAH Bahas Gugatan UU Hak Cipta Musisi di MK: Performing Rights dan Direct Licensing

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1sZfxa" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1sZfxa.jpg"/> <p> <span> <b> </b> </span> , <span> <b> Jakarta </b> </span> - Musisi dan penyanyi, <strong> Ariel NOAH </strong> ikut angkat bicara perihal polemik hak cipta yang tengah ramai diperbincangkan. Melalui video berdurasi 7 menit 4 detik yang diunggah ke Instagram pribadinya pada Ahad, 23 Maret 2025, ia menjelaskan duduk perkara yang membuatnya, bersama 28 musisi lain, menggugat Undang-Undang Nomor 28 Tahun 2014 tentang Hak Cipta ke Mahkamah Konstitusi (MK). </p> <p> </p> <h2> <strong> Ariel NOAH Jelaskan Dua Pasal Saling Bertentangan </strong> </h2> <p> Dalam video tersebut, Ariel memaparkan masalah utama yang menjadi pemantik dalam polemik hak cipta, yaitu pertentangan antara Pasal 9 ayat (3) dan Pasal 23 ayat (5) dalam UU Hak Cipta . Pasal pertama menegaskan bahwa penggunaan komersial ciptaan tanpa izin pencipta adalah pelanggaran. Sementara pasal kedua memperbolehkan penggunaan komersial tanpa izin asal membayar imbalan melalui Lembaga Manajemen Kolektif (LMK). </p> <p> “Ambang batas tersebut tampaknya bertolak belakang," kata Ariel. Meski demikian, dia menjelaskan bahwa para musisi telah menyadari bahwa kedua hal tersebut sebenarnya saling mendukung demi kelancaran sistem hak ekonomi bagi penulis lirik maupun artis penghibur. Penyanyi 'Separuh Aku' tersebut pun mengomentari jika sampai saat ini, penyanyi yang membawakan lagu hasil ciptaan pihak lain di acara konser cukup melakukan pembayaran royalti lewat Lembaga Manajemen Kekayaan Intelektual (LMKI). </p> <p> Namun, muncul wacana direct licensing , yaitu persetujuan langsung dari pembuatnya tanpa melalui LMK. Ariel berpendapat bahwa ide tersebut muncul karena kekecewaan para penulis lagu terhadap performa LMK. "Menurut saya diasumsikan," direct licensing Ini terjadi karena ketidakpuasan dari para penggarap lagu terhadap LMK yang bertanggung jawab untuk memperjuangkan hak ekonomi mereka," katanya. </p> <p> Menurut dia, laporan yang tidak jujur, prosedur sederhana, dan kebingungan dalam sistem menyebabkan penulis lagu berkeinginan untuk mendapatkan kembali kontrol terhadap hak cipta mereka. Dia menambahkan bahwa hal tersebut merupakan masalah yang dihadapi bukan hanya oleh komponis, tetapi juga pihak penyelenggara konser. Begitu ucap Ariel. </p> <h2> <strong> Perdebatan tentang Direct Licensing </strong> </h2> <p> Ariel tak menampik bahwa direct licensing Adalah hak milik penulis lagu tersebut. Akan tetapi, dia menggarisbawahi adanya berbagai ketidaksempurnaan dalam sistem ini. "Namun demikian, hal itu bukanlah sesuatu yang sering diterapkan pada sebagian besar pemangku bisnis musik di Indonesia," ungkapnya. Sampai saat ini, detail teknis dari peraturan masih kabur: betapa efektifitasnya bila diberlakukan, cara pembagiannya, serta metode pengenaan pajak atas royalti yang telah lama diselaraskan dengan organisasi LMK. </p> <p> Masalah lain timbul untuk para penyanyi asli — mereka yang pertama kali membawa sebuah lagu ke dalam sorotan publik. Sebagaimana disampaikan oleh Ariel, bila persetujuan hanya diajukan sesudah lagu tersebut mencapai popularitas, pembicaraan tentang tarif akan condong menguntungkan pihak satu saja. "Lebih baiklah kalau direct licensing Telah ditentukan sejak awal kolaborasi antara penyanyi dan penulis lagu, bukannya secara mendadak saat lagu tersebut sudah terkenal," katanya. </p> <p> Dalam sistem yang sedang diterapkan saat ini, penyelenggara konser membayarkan royalti kepada pencipta lagu lewat LMK. Akan tetapi, kompleksitas masalah bertambah dengan adanya gagasan supaya penyanyi secara langsung membayar royalti kepada pencipta lagunya, dan bukannya pada penyelenggara acara tersebut. "Hal itu pun telah diatur dalam UU Hak Cipta, meski beberapa pihak merasa aturan tersebut masih kabur soal siapa yang harus membayar," ungkap Ariel. </p> <h2> <strong> Harapan dari Ariel: Negara Wajib Hadir </strong> </h2> <p> Ariel dari NOAH mengatakan bahwa para musisi tidak memiliki wewenang untuk menentukan aturan. Oleh karena itu, dia berharap agar pemerintah cepat merumuskan petunjuk dengan mencakup juga para pekerja di bidang hiburan. "Menurut pendapatku, mereka yang menyusun peraturan lah yang harus menjelaskan cara kerjanya," ungkap artis yang lahir pada tahun 1981 tersebut. </p> <p> Urusan undang-undang hak cipta memang bakal di revisi secara cepat. Akan tetapi, Ariel mendorong agar selama periode perubahan tersebut, pemerintah wajib turun tangan sebagai penengah sementara. "Harapannya jangan sampai para pemain dari industri musik Tanah Air merasa kebingungan, khawatir, apalagi dirugikan hanya karena ingin bernyanyi dengan lagu-lagu yang mereka buat," katanya. </p> <p> Selanjutnya, Ariel menyatakan dirinya belum merasa siap untuk menerapkan direct licensing Secara personal, "Masih diperlukan LMK bagi saya untuk mendapat atau atur hak-hakku, pastinya LMK yang terpercaya dan dapat diandalkan," imbuhnya. Menurut Ariel, hak cipta tak hanya berkaitan dengan aspek finansial, tetapi juga tentang kemudahan akses. </p> <p> Di tengah perdebatan tersebut, dia berharap karyanya tetap dapat dipentaskan oleh siapa pun. "Sebagai seorang penulis lagu, tujuan utama saya adalah agar orang lain mudah membawakannya. Ini selaras dengan motivasi dasar saya dalam membuat musik, yakni untuk menghibur setiap individu yang menemukan kegembiraan melalui lagu-lagu saya," jelasnya. </p> <h2> <strong> Musisi-musisi Membawa Kasus ke Mahkamah Konstitusi </strong> </h2> <p> Ariel dari NOAH tidak sendirian dalam menyuarakan keprihatinannya ini. Dia merupakan salah satu di antara 29 musisi yang mengajukan gugatan terhadap Undang-Undang Hak Cipta ke Mahkamah Konstitusi (MK). Pengaduan konstitusional mereka sudah diajukan pada tanggal 7 Maret 2025 dengan nomor kasus 33/PUU/PAN.MK/AP3/03/2025. Para musisi tersebut fokus pada ketidaktentuan hukum berkaitan izin lagu, prosedur royalti, serta sanksi pidana untuk artis yang mempersembahkan lagu-lagu hasil ciptaan pihak lain. </p> <p> Daftar musisi yang turut mengajukan gugatan di antaranya adalah Armand Maulana, Vina Panduwinata, Titi DJ, Rossa, Raisa, Judika, sampai dengan Ruth Sahanaya. Sebagian besar para seniman ini merupakan anggota Asosiasi Suara Indonesia (VIBRASI). Mereka merasa bahwa beberapa pasal dalam Undang-Undang Hak Cipta menyebabkan keraguan dan ambiguitas berkaitan dengan proses lisensi, sistem royalti, serta sanksi pidana. Musisi-musisi tersebut meminta penjelasan lebih lanjut tentang cara pengurusan izin: apakah mereka harus mendapatkan persetujuan langsung dari pembuat lagu atau sudah cukup melalui Layanan Managemen Kekayaan Intelektual (LMK). Selain itu, mereka juga khawatir akan adanya pertentangan kepentingan saat memberikan izin, hal ini mungkin dipengaruhi oleh subyektifitas sang kreator. </p> <p> <strong> INSTAGRAM | MAHKAMAH KONSTITUSI </strong> </p> <p> </p>

Nhiếp ảnh có thể phản ánh sự xa hoa lộng lẫy hay những khắc nghiệt của cuộc sống mưu sinh

<p> <strong> Nhân dịp cha con Nguyễn Thanh Tùng và Bill Nguyễn triển lãm 50 ảnh về TP.HCM và bộ sách ảnh streetlife Saigon 365, tại Đường sách có buổi trò chuyện thú vị trong nhiếp ảnh; vai trò của nhiếp ảnh trong việc ghi lại lịch sử và văn hóa. </strong> </p> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BsK6E" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BsK6E.jpg"/> <p> Tối 22-3, tại Đường sách TP.HCM diễn ra buổi talk show "Nghệ thuật kể chuyện qua ống kính" với 5 thế hệ nhiếp ảnh gia Nguyễn Xuân Khánh, Dương Minh Long, Vũ Hải Sơn, Bill Nguyễn, Thanh Tùng. </p> <h2> <b> Có những bức ảnh để càng lâu lại càng giá trị </b> </h2> <p> Tại buổi giao lưu, các nhiếp ảnh gia đều nhấn mạnh đến tầm quan trọng của những bức ảnh tư liệu. Theo nhiếp ảnh gia Nguyễn Xuân Khánh, giá trị của ảnh tư liệu nằm ở thời gian, thời gian càng lâu thì ảnh càng quý. </p> <p> Ông đưa ví dụ về chuyện ghi lại hình ảnh của con Kênh Tàu Hủ: "Khi xưa, chúng tôi xách máy đi chụp từng cái nhà cạnh con kênh, chụp nước kênh có màu sắc, hiện trạng ra sao. </p> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BsRX3" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BsRX3.jpg"/> <p> Đến nay, sau chừng 30, 40 năm nhìn lại là biết bao đổi thay vì quanh con kênh được xây dựng thêm nhà cửa, đường sá. </p> <p> Nếu ra đúng vị trí khi xưa và chụp nữa thì ta sẽ có trong tay 2 bức ảnh nói lên 2 thời điểm khác nhau của cùng một đối tượng. </p> <div class="VCSortableInPreviewMode alignRight"> <div class="kbwscwl-relatedbox type-2 tuoitre"> <ul class="kbwscwlr-list"> <li class="kbwscwlrl"> <h4 class="kbwscwlrl-title"> Đà Lạt dưới góc nhìn của nhà báo, nhiếp ảnh gia </h4> </li> <li class="kbwscwlrl"> <h4 class="kbwscwlrl-title"> Xem 159 bức ảnh tuyệt đẹp của 53 nữ nhiếp ảnh gia </h4> </li> </ul> </div> </div> <p> Từ điều này, ta có thể thấy một con người, một địa điểm đã phát triển ra sao sau ngần ấy năm". </p> <p> Nhìn xuyên suốt lịch sử nhiếp ảnh thế giới, ông Xuân Khánh nói có những dự án nhiếp ảnh nổi tiếng ghi lại hiện trạng xã hội, những sự đổi thay của phong cảnh. Và từ đó, chúng cung cấp nguồn ảnh tư liệu quý giá giúp cho việc nghiên cứu, quy hoạch đô thị hoặc thay đổi, phát triển một lĩnh vực nào đó trong xã hội. </p> <p> Như ở Mỹ có dự án FSA (Farm Security Administration) tập hợp các nhiếp ảnh gia nổi tiếng thực hiện một hồ sơ hình ảnh đồ sộ về cuộc sống của người Mỹ từ năm 1935 đến 1944 để giúp chính phủ có thêm tư liệu, xây dựng những chính sách phù hợp nhằm chống lại tình trạng nghèo đói ở nông thôn trong thời kỳ ấy. </p> <p> Theo nhiếp ảnh gia Dương Minh Long, các "tay máy" vẫn nên theo đuổi chụp những khía cạnh bình thường, giản dị của cuộc sống Sài Gòn như: cảnh đi chợ, xếp hàng mua đồ trên đường phố hay sinh hoạt của người dân... Bởi theo thời gian chúng sẽ là nguồn tư liệu quý giá. </p> <h2> <b> Những đề tài hay ho cho nhiếp ảnh </b> </h2> <p> Nhiếp ảnh gia Dương Minh Long cũng nhận định TP.HCM là mảnh đất màu mỡ cho các dự án nhiếp ảnh, nơi người chụp sẽ có nhiều đề tài "hay ho". </p> <p> Như trong bộ sách ảnh Saigon 365 của hai cha con Thanh Tùng và Bill Nguyễn gồm 5 quyển. </p> <p> Là <i> Saigon street </i> với những khoảnh khắc trên đường phố Sài Gòn được chụp liên tục trong 365 ngày, ghi nhận nét đẹp của phố xá, kiến trúc qua nhiều góc nhìn, nhiều thời điểm trong ngày. </p> <p> <i> Saigon market </i> chụp chợ ở Sài Gòn, ở đó có phong cách con người và vùng đất Sài Gòn, có sự đa dạng của chợ truyền thống, chợ đêm, chợ đặc sản vùng miền... </p> <p> Rồi <i> Saigon food </i> ghi nhận những đặc sắc về ẩm thực Sài Gòn, nơi giao thoa tinh tế nhiều vùng miền, qua đó thấy được văn hoá, tinh thần của vùng đất phương Nam hào sảng. </p> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BsY4D" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BsY4D.jpg"/> <p> Hay <i> Saigon night </i> là một Sài Gòn không ngủ. Sài Gòn về đêm có sự tương phản giữa nhịp sống sôi động và khoảnh khắc tĩnh lặng, giữa hiện đại và xưa cũ, giữa giàu và nghèo, giữa sự xa hoa lộng lẫy và những góc khuất bình dị, thậm chí khắc nghiệt của cuộc sống mưu sinh. </p> <p> Cuối cùng là <i> Saigon 18 </i> của nhiếp ảnh gia trẻ sinh năm 2007 Nguyễn Huỳnh Bách (Bill Nguyễn) ghi lại góc nhìn trẻ trung về một Sài Gòn năng động. </p> <p> Chia sẻ tại sự kiện, Bill Nguyễn cho rằng khó khăn và thách thức lớn nhất khi hai cha con anh thực hiện sách ảnh về thành phố này là việc chọn lọc nội dung, tìm kiếm đề tài sao cho phù hợp, cũng như những trở ngại về tài chính, thời gian. </p> <p> Anh Thanh Tùng kể niềm đam mê chụp ảnh cũng phải được cân bằng với cuộc sống gia đình, học tập, công việc. Có những ngày rong ruổi đi chụp và hai cha con anh cùng động viên nhau phải cố gắng theo đuổi và hoàn thành dự án nhiếp ảnh Saigon 365 này. </p> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BsN0c" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BsN0c.jpg"/> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Bo4cY" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Bo4cY.jpg"/> <div class="VCSortableInPreviewMode alignCenter"> <div> <p> Triển lãm Saigon 365 diễn ra tại Đường sách TP.HCM từ ngày 22-3 đến 28-3. </p> <p> Triển lãm trưng bày 50 bức ảnh streetlife về Sài Gòn, gồm 18 ảnh của tác giả Nguyễn Huỳnh Bách và 32 ảnh của tác giả Nguyễn Thanh Tùng. </p> <p> Bộ ảnh được chính hai tác giả xử lý hậu kỳ và in theo chuẩn fine art trên chất liệu canvas.

Art Gallery of NSW names first female director in 154 years

<div> <p> The Art Gallery of NSW’s Maud Page has been named the institution’s first female leader in its 154-year history. </p> <p> The landmark ministerial appointment follows an international search for a successor to outgoing director Dr Michael Brand, whose departure has been unexpectedly brought forward from June to next Friday. </p> <div> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BmiyP" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BmiyP.jpg"/> </div> <p> Brand did not acknowledge his deputy’s historic appointment Friday in an Instagram post which flagged his exit from the gallery at short notice. </p> <p> “I’ve just been informed that the NSW government is about to announce the Art Gallery’s new director who will start next week so that’s a wrap for me today,” he said. </p> <p> “It’s been a huge honour and privilege to lead our public art museum through such an extraordinary transformation. </p> <p> “I will always deeply cherish and appreciate the support I have received in Sydney, especially from all of my colleagues at the Art Gallery.” </p> <div> <span data-embed-id="c299aa47a26f4a70bf2d5f09d218c994" data-embed-type="social-auto"> </span> </div> <p> With Page’s appointment, all NSW’s major galleries and museums are now headed by women. </p> <p> Page said it was a “momentous” day for her, and her appointment was difficult to believe given deputies of such esteemed institutions were usually overlooked for directors’ roles. This is believed to be the first-ever director’s appointment made from within the gallery. </p> <p> “My daughter is about to turn 20, and it’s such a fabulous demonstration to her that if you work hard and work with people, dreams can happen,” she said. </p> <p> Page was the standout and only internal candidate on the shortlist, which included applicants from North America, Art Gallery of NSW Trust president Michael Rose said. </p> <p> Rose said the selection panel had been swayed by Page’s genuine engagement with the contemporary arts scene, her curatorial strength and her close relationship with other cultural institutions with which she wants to more closely collaborate. </p> <p> “I think of Maud as an international candidate who is well-connected in the international arts world, and speaks three languages,” Rose said. </p> <p> “One of my things is to recognise what a smart and creative place Sydney is, and it’s such a pleasure to find the best candidate here in this city and in the institution.” </p> <p> Page came from Queensland Art Gallery to Sydney in 2017 and has since cultivated deep connections with Pacific communities. </p> <p> The French-born Page impressed French President Emmanuel Macron on his first official diplomatic visit to Australia in 2018 when he came to see the world-famous <em> Lady and the Unicorn </em> tapestries that Page had secured on loan from the Musee de Cluny in Paris. </p> <p> She has since been a vocal champion inside the gallery of First Nations art and wants to further extend the gallery’s outreach to western Sydney and regional NSW. </p> <p> Responsible, with Brand, for international blockbusters such as <em> Magritte </em> , she has also engaged children in art, with the opening of the Children’s Art Library and the popular Hive Festival for children. </p> <p> Under her leadership, it’s expected the gallery will lean more into Indigenous art, for which there is a growing international audience. </p> <p> Page will commence in the prestigious role – that comes with a $509,161 remuneration package according to the gallery’s latest annual report – next Friday, March 28. </p> <p> Brand departs after 13 years, during which the gallery’s new $344 million Sydney Modern building was opened in December 2023. The doubling of the gallery’s footprint caused the director to cut jobs while successfully arguing for millions more in government funding to cover part of an operational shortfall. </p> <p> Arts Minister John Graham wished Brand the best for the next chapter of his career. </p> <p> “I congratulate Maud Page on her appointment to the role,” he said. “She has already been a driving force to help grow its annual visitation to 2 million per year, ranking it 28 out of 100 in the world’s most visited art museums in the annual international <em> Art Newspaper </em> survey.” </p> <p> Following Brand’s sudden exit, the gallery stated that an elongated transition period was no longer needed since Page was an internal hire. Previously, the gallery’s director had provided six months’ notice to ensure ample time for locating a replacement. </p> </div>

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B69li" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B69li.jpg"/> <p> SHARJAH, 17th March, 2025 (WAM)-- H.H. Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, who serves as the Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, officially opened the "Masterpieces of Islamic Art from the Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization" exhibit on Monday at the National Museum of Oman. </p> <p> Ongoing until May, this exhibition acts as a cultural stage highlighting the profound historical connections and robust cooperation between the UAE and Oman in safeguarding their heritage and advancing Islamic culture. </p> <p> The inauguration began with a address from Jamal Al Moosawi, the Secretary-General of the National Museum of Oman, who greeted Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed Al Qasimi and the guests present. </p> <p> He stressed that the exhibition showcases the progression and elegance of Islamic art, stemming from the collaboration between the National Museum and the Sharjah Museums Authority. </p> <p> Al Moosawi stated that the exhibit comprises three segments: Calligraphic Arts, Sciences and Innovations, and Harmony and Diversity. Each segment showcases items highlighting the profound artistic legacy of Islamic civilization throughout history. He emphasized that this exhibition supports the National Museum’s dedication to cultural diplomacy and promotes an understanding of Islamic heritage. </p> <p> Aisha Rashid Deemas, the Director-General of the Sharjah Museums Authority, conveyed her joy over hosting the exhibit at one of Oman’s premier cultural establishments. She emphasized the robust familial bonds and common heritage linking the UAE and Oman, which have been reinforced under the guidance of their respective leaders. </p> <p> Deemas highlighted that the trip of His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Muhammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and ruler of Sharjah, to Oman served as significant motivation for arranging this exhibition. This initiative embodies his belief in leveraging culture and art as means to fortify ties and encourage mutual understanding between the two countries. </p> <p> The exhibit goes on to showcase the strong historical, cultural, and social ties that have developed over time among different generations. </p> <p> She mentioned that the exhibition serves as more than just a stage for showcasing rare Islamic artifacts; it’s also a chance to contemplate the collective historical heritage of the area. The event underscores the remarkable artistry and innovation that characterized Islamic civilization across different periods. </p> <p> One of the notable exhibits being shown publicly beyond the borders of the UAE for the very first time include a silver goblet adorned with the imperial insignia of Ottoman Emperor Abdul Hamid II, an elaborately designed hexagonal eating seat made specifically for Al-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qalawun, along with the initial Islamic coin struck in Baghdad following the Mongol conquest. </p> <p> Other significant displays feature an eleventh or twelfth-century cat-form incense burner and a thirteenth-century gilded earthenware pitcher, showcasing the rich artistic variety within Islamic culture. </p> <p> Following the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed Al Qasimi toured the exhibition, receiving detailed explanations about the 82 rare artefacts on display. These include Islamic manuscripts, metalwork, ceramics, and historical coins, each illustrating the artistic evolution and cultural richness of successive Islamic civilisations. </p> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B66K5" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B66K5.jpg"/> <p> The exhibition celebrates the strong ties between the UAE and Oman and embodies the vision of the Sharjah Ruler to enhance cultural cooperation and use the arts as a medium for dialogue and mutual understanding. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the artistic and aesthetic dimensions of Islamic civilisation through a carefully curated selection of artefacts that narrate centuries of Islamic history. </p> <p> The exhibition aims to highlight the artistic achievements of Islamic civilisation, strengthen collaboration with regional and international cultural institutions, and raise awareness of the rich heritage of the Islamic world. By fostering cultural appreciation and knowledge exchange, the event contributes to a deeper understanding of the enduring artistic traditions of the Islamic world. </p> <p> The opening ceremony was attended by Salim bin Mohammed Al Mahrouqi, Minister of Heritage and Tourism and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the National Museum of Oman; Mohammed bin Nakhira Al Dhaheri, UAE Ambassador to Oman; Hassan Yaqoub Al Mansouri, Secretary-General of the Sharjah Media Council; Aisha Rashid Deemas, Director-General of the Sharjah Museums Authority; Jamal Al Moosawi, Secretary-General of the National Museum of Oman; along with several senior officials and diplomats. </p> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B6ecV" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B6ecV.jpg"/> Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.

Seperti Saudara Sendiri, Said Bajuri Ingat Makna Mat Solar: Wajah Memukau

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/video/AA1zhpVz" data-reference="video"/> <p> <strong> </strong> - Said Bajuri mengingat kembali sosok Mat Solar yang menjadi partner bermainnya dalam acara komedi Bajaj Bajuri. </p> <p> Dia menyatakan bahwa dia telah mengekalkan pria yang memiliki nama sebenarnya Nasrullah itu seperti saudara kandungnya sendiri. </p> <p> Said Bajuri juga mengungkapkan identitas sebenarnya dari Mat Solar yang sering kali dianggap menakutkan. </p> <p> Sebaliknya, Rieke Diah Pitaloka mengingat keterlibatan dan keseruan bersamanya dengan Mat Solar ketika proses syuting Bajaj Bajuri. </p> <p> Setelah menghabiskan waktu berbulan-bulan dalam proses produksi sinematik bersama, dia menyadari bahwa dirinya merindukan orang yang telah lama baginya seperti keluarga. </p> <p> <em> Wah betul juga, mengingat kita sudah lama berada di dalam studio pengambilan gambar, </em> Rieke menyampaikan hal tersebut ketika bertemu dengan media di tempat pemakaman keluarga di daerah Pamulang, Tangerang Selatan, pada hari Selasa (18/2/2025) pagi. </p> <p> Dia menyebutkan bahwa dalam kurun waktu lima tahun berakting dari senin sampai jumat, mereka menjalani banyak moment bersama, entah itu di tempat syuting atau area menuggu. </p> <p> <em> Situ terdapat area untuk menunggu dan banyak interaksi. Kami bertemu setiap hari Senin hingga Jumat tiga bulanan sekali.

Saya telah mempelajari begitu banyak hal dari Pak Bajuri, dari Mbak Neng, dari Almarhomah Ibu, dan juga dari Ucup; semuanya.

Mungkin Gigi yang penasaran. Saya merasa senang bisa mendapat bantuan," ungkap Nunung Srimulat saat ditemui di daerah Tebet, Jakarta Selatan, pada hari Minggu, 16 Maret 2025. </p> <p> Nunung mengatakan bahwa bantuan tambahan juga datang dari Deddy Corbuzier, yang bersiap untuk mendanai setiap prosedur bedah yang mungkin ditemukan nanti. </p> <p> Wanita berumur 61 tahun itu mengatakan bahwa Mas Deddy Corbuzier ingin agar saya melakukan produksi ulang untuk suatu operasi. Selain itu, ada pula Sule yang menawarkan sebuah rumah dan Jessica Iskandar memintaku untuk tinggal di tempatnya di Kuningan. </p> <p> Tidak hanya sampai di situ, terdapat juga sepasang selebriti yang dikenal sebagai pasangan dengan kekayaan tertinggi di Indonesia. </p> <p> Rey Utami dan Pablo Benua lah mereka. </p> <p> Sebagaimana diketahui, lembaga riset Artis Watch telah mengumumkan daftar para selebritas terkaya di Indonesia, dan nama Rey Utami termasuk dalam urutan tersebut. </p> <p> Kekayaannya diyakini mencapai sekitar Rp6,3 triliun, yang meliputi beragam harta bernilai tinggi termasuk real estat, mobil, serta bentuk-bentuk investasi lainnya. </p> <p> Keberuntungannya melampaui Raffi Ahmad yang dikenal memiliki kekayaan sekitarRp 1 triliun. </p> <p> "Pablo Benua dan Rey Utomi juga menyatakan ingin memberikan hunian," katanya. </p> <p> Wanita dengan nama sebenarnya Tri Retno Prayudati mengklaim bahwa bantuan yang diterimanya tidaklah palsu, melainkan nyata karena adanya pertolongan serta dukungan dari Allah SWT. </p> <p> "Saya rasa drama ini sungguh nyata, sehingga menimbulkan emosi sedih, bahagia yang semuanya adalah takdir Tuhan. Tanpa kehendak-Nya, mustahil bagi mereka untuk mendukung saya dengan tulus dan ikhlas seperti ini," ungkapnya. </p> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B3Bz6" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B3Bz6.jpg"/> <p> "Saya bingung balasnya apa cuma bisa doain mereka aja. Dari finansial dan doa saya doakan semuanya cuma itu balasan saya, semoga mereka diberikan kesehatan, rezeki lancar, dan bahagia dunia akhirat," tambahnya. </p> <p> Nunung Srimulat mengakui bantuan itu harus ia terima, apalagi dalam bentuk dana segar. Hal itu dikarenakan dirinya masih harus menafkahi keluarga di kampung halaman. </p> <p> "Mereka keluarga saya diam sampai detik ini campur tangan saya masih ada buat mereka. Saya jadi tulang punggung, kalau saya dibantu saya nangis terharu wajar memang membutuhkan," ujar Nunung Srimulat. </p> <h2> Harus Terima Kenyataan </h2> <p> Dibalik nama besarnya di panggung hiburan, Nunung Srimulat harus menerima kenyataan kalau dirinya sekarang hidup tanpa kemewahan. </p> <p> Nunung Srimulat serta suami belakangan ini hidup di sebuah kosan, tidak lagi berada dalam rumah mewah yang sebelumnya diperoleh melalui usaha pribadinya. </p> <p> Nunung Srimulat menyatakan bahwa dirinya tengah berjuangan dengan masalah finansial. Seluruh harta yang pernah dia kumpulkan telah terhabis, dan sejumlah besar properti miliknya sudah dilepas. </p> <p> "Iya, aku tinggal kos dan menjalankannya dengan sabar tanpa perlu sedih, karena Allah selalu membantuku," ungkap Nunung Srimulat saat ditemui di daerah Tebet, Jakarta Selatan, pada hari Minggu (16/3/2025). </p> <p> Walaupun menetap di kos, Nunung menyatakan bahwa hal tersebut bukanlah puncak kesulitan dalam hidupnya. Sebaliknya, ia merasakan masa tersulit itu tujuh belas tahun yang lalu ketika ibunya meninggalkan dunia. </p> <p> Anggota tim komedi Srimulat tersebut mengira bahwa sang ibu telah meninggal akibat kekhawatirannya yang berlebih tentang dirinya, sesudah dia ditahan oleh pihak kepolisian terkait tuduhan penggunaan ilegal serta kepemilikan zat-zat terlarang. </p> <p> Wanita berumur 61 tahun tersebut mendengar ibunya menderita penyakit yang terus-menerus hingga akhirnya meninggal. Dia berkata, 'Sampai saat ini saya masih belum dapat mengampuni diri sendiri,' sambil mencoba menahan air mata dan getaran dalam suaranya. </p> <p> "Lima tahun sudah berlalu sejak terakhir kali mengunjungi kuburan ibuku. Oleh karena itu, rasanya belum siap sepenuhnya," jelasnya. </p> <p> Wanita yang memiliki nama lengkap Tri Retno Prayudati tersebut tampak merasa penasaran dan berdoa agar waktu dapat diputar ulang, sehingga dia bisa kembali lagi ke masa kanak-kanaknya. </p> <p> Alasan Nunung ingin mencintai ibunya dengan segenap perasaan. </p> <p> "Bila dibawa kembali menjadi seperti anak kecil, saya akan mencium terus-menerus telapak kaki ibu saya, surga sungguh ada di telapak kaki ibu. Dahulu saya memiliki banyak harta, tetapi telah melupakannya semua," ungkapnya. </p> <p> Ia mengatakan bahwa dia hanya fokus pada kebahagiaan pribadinya dan terus berusaha keras demi menyokong keluarganya yang besar. </p> <p> Seiring berlalunya waktu, Nunung Srimulat perlahan-lahan menjadi lebih damai dalam diri sendiri. Dia harus belajar untuk mengakui keadaan sebenarnya dan terus maju dengan penuh antusiasme di hari esoknya. </p> <p> Namun, segala ketentuan Tuhan, saat ini hal terbaik yang bisa saya lakukan hanyalah berdoa untuk ibu saya, ayah saya, dan anak saya," ungkap Nunung Srimulat. </p> <p class="baca"> <strong> Hanya Kejadian Luar Biasa ini yang Dapat Memicu Pemulihan Hubungan antara Baim Wong dan Paula Verhoeven, Vista Ungkap Ketidakhorealisan </strong> </p> <p class="baca"> <strong> Kebahagiaan Arya Saloka Di tengah Skandal Amanda Manobo dan Anne: Sesudah Terpisah, Akhirnya Kau Kembali </strong> </p> <p> <strong> (/ Tribunnews.com ) </strong> </p>
