Banksy's Valentine's Day

<p>Domestic violence is at the centre of street artist Banksy's latest work, which appeared on the night of 14 February on the occasion of Valentine's Day and can be seen on his <strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/banksy/" target="_blank">Instagram profile</a></strong>. It is called "Valentine's day mascara" and depicts a woman with a swollen face cleaning her home (i.e. her life) of male violence.</p> <p>It is the artist's homage to true love: that for oneself, first and foremost, for one's freedom and respect. A work dedicated to those who want to be free from fear, because every day is a good day to love oneself.</p>

Naked - Not Born the Same (documentary)

<p>What does it mean to be a girl, or a boy? Are gender differences innate or acquired? As more and more people define themselves as non-binary, scientists are trying to understand how our environment assigns a gender to our brain. In this first episode, we meet a child raised gender neutral in Sweden and an individual who wants to change gender.</p> <p>Director: Cristina Trebbi, Jobst Knigge, Susanne Utzt, Stephanie Weimar</p> <p>Country: Germany</p> <p>Year: 2022</p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.arte.tv/en/videos/091183-001-A/naked/" target="_blank">Watch online</a> </strong>(until the 15th of January 2023)<strong><br></strong></p>
