TRASH TRADE IMAGE
“Garbage Dreams” will be screened at la Esquina January 6. From the gallery: “Filmed over four years, ‘Garbage Dreams’ follows three teenage boys — Adham, a bright precocious 17-year-old; Osama, a charming impish 16-year-old; Nabil, a shy artistic 18-year-old — born into the trash trade and growing up in the world’s largest garbage village, a ghetto located on the outskirts of Cairo. It is a world folded onto itself, an impenetrable labyrinth of narrow roadways camouflaged by trash; it is home to 60,000 Zaballeen (or Zabbaleen), Egypt’s ‘garbage people.’”
MAGI IMAGE
Girolamo da Carpi’s “The Adoration of the Magi” is among The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art permanent collection, which includes numerous Renaissance artworks relating to the Christmas tradition.
