Drawing its title from a 1989 Guerrilla Girls poster declaring “You’re seeing less than half the picture without the vision of women artists and artists of color,” Half the Picture: A Feminist Look at the Collection expands the definition of feminism beyond a movement to create equity between men and women. The more than fifty artists included in this exhibition instead represent a plurality of voices advocating for their communities, their beliefs, and their hopes for equality across and between race, class, disability, and gender.
Half the Picture is on view in our Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art now through March 31, 2019.
Guerrilla Girls (established New York City, New York, 1985). You’re Seeing Less than Half the Picture, 1989. Offset lithograph. Brooklyn Museum; Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, Gift of Guerrilla Girls BroadBand, Inc., 2017.26.22. © Guerrilla Girls.

TV Shows in Foreign Languages
Hi guys 😊 Which TV shows in foreign languages are you going to watch this school year? I really need some suggestions! Here are my favorite ones:
French: - Quotidien (previously Le petit journal) - Kaamelot - Bref - SODA - Scènes de ménage - Koh Lanta - Presque adultes - We also have a lot of reality TV Shows, I personally hate them but if you’re into that type of TV, I’ll recommand “Les Anges” and “Secret story”, it can be a good way to pick up some slang
-Spanish: Las chicas del Cable (my favorite Spanish one) El ministerio del tiempo Los Serrano Fisica o quimica Velvet (You can also watch Narcos in Spanish!)
- Brazilian Portuguese: - 3% (a really good show, I would recommend it even if you don’t study Portuguese 🇧🇷) - Domingão do Faustão - Avenida Brasil - Programa do Porchat - Programa Silvio Santos - Jô soares
Italian: - Master of None (definitely not an Italian show but they do speak in Italian quite a lot in season 2) - Il grande fratello - L'isola dei famosi - Amici di Maria de Filippi
Norwegian: - Skam
Also a lot of countries have their own version of shows like “The voice”, “Masterchef” etc… so if you like one of these tv shows, why not watching it in your target language(s)?
Btw if you’re leaning English and need some suggestions, my favorite shows are: How to get away with murder, Vikings, Mr Robot, Stranger things, Atlanta, The 100 and Orange is the new black. Also I used to watch Downton Abbey and Sherlock and these ones really helped me learning English. Victoria and The Crown have a very good English too and are both super interesting.
Here you go! Good luck if you’re going back to school, you can do it :)

Amazighs ( ⵉⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖⵏ Imaziɣen; singular: ⴰⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖ Amaziɣ / Amazigh) are an ethnic group indigenous to North Africa, primarily inhabiting the Maghreb. They are distributed in an area stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Siwa Oasis in Egypt, and from the Mediterranean Sea to the Niger River in West Africa. Historically, they spoke Amazigh languages, which together form the Berber branch of the Afroasiatic family.
The majority of Imazighen are Sunni Muslim. The Amazigh identity is usually wider than language and ethnicity, and encompasses the entire history and geography of North Africa. Imazighen are not an entirely homogeneous ethnicity and they encompass a range of societies and ancestries. The unifying forces for the Amazigh people may be their shared language, or a collective identification with Amazigh heritage and history.

On Netflix you can watch some Spanish series and you can put Spanish subtitles in most of them.

Gran Hotel
Las chicas del cable
El Internado
Bajo sospecha
Mar de plástico
El barco
Merlí

Juana Inés
La Doña

Capo “El amo del túnel”

La esclava blanca
La niña
Palabra de Ladrón
Pablo Escobar
Las muñecas de la mafia

hey! could you recommend any Spanish TV shows?
ok, so there are TOO MANY. I’m gonna split them into two categories: historical drama (soap operas, really) and “modern” shows, basically because many soap operas tend to use a Spanish we don’t really use anymore. I’ll also add the TV channel, because most of them have the episodes on their websites. If not, try pordede.
HISTORICAL DRAMA/SOAP OPERAS
I feel like most of our TV shows are soap operas. Here you have a list
Amar en tiempos revueltos/Amar es para siempre (TVE/Antena 3). Ok so this soap opera was produced by Spain’s national television, but now it belongs to Antena 3 and the name has changed to Amar es para siempre. It’s about the lives of a group of neighbours in a working-class neighbourhood in Madrid. It starts in the 40s or so, and currently they’re in the 60s. Many characters change from season to season, and it airs from Monday to Friday, Friday being more “intense”. It deals with the problems people faced during the dictatorship (abortion, forbidden love, poverty, sexism (still happens lmao), LGBT issues, etc.), but it also talks about love and gossip. You don’t have to watch it from the beginning, just start one day and keep watching it.
El secreto de Puente Viejo (Antena 3). So this takes place at the beginning of the XX century in a small village called “Puente Viejo”. There’re many things related to the political situation of the moment and it tells the story of the citizens of the town. I’d recommend this show if you have a really good level, because they use really old-fashioned Spanish. The acting is not that good, tho.
Velvet (Antena 3). This is actually about to end THIS WEEK, and parts of the last episode will be aired LIVE. If you liked Sense8, Miguel Ángel Silvestre is in this show. It’s about a chain of department stores and the lives of those who work there. Takes place in the 50s.
Gran Hotel (Antena 3). Kinda like Downton Abbey but in a hotel
Cuéntame cómo pasó (TVE). The title is a famous song . This has been airing for… 17 years? It’s about the life of a kid from Madrid (he starts as a child, now he’s 18) in fascist Spain. It’s really good to see how Spanish society evolved and became more modern, or the changes in the country in general. I think that now they are in the 80s, but I stopped watching. The language is not difficult since it deals with daily issues, and you might learn slang! You don’t have to watch it from the beginning.
Seis hermanas (TVE). This is quite new. It’s about the life of six sisters in an upper-class family during the Industrial Revolution in Spain. Never seen it.
Águila Roja (TVE). This show had a lot of success, then they stopped. Then they came back. This takes place in medieval Spain, and that’s the only thing I can tell you because I’ve never seen it.
Isabel (TVE). A show about the life of the queen Isabel. It was quite successful.
El caso (TVE). This show is named after a magazine that existed during the dictatorship. They published news about murders, kidnapping, etc. This show talks about the life of the members of the magazine, and also shows the problems they had as people and as journalists during the dictatorship.
MODERN SHOWS
Aquí no hay quien viva (Antena 3). A CLASSIC. It’s over now, but it was quite good. It’s all about the lives of a group of neighbours who live in the same building. You have the rich girl, the three old women, the gay couple, the girl that never finds a boyfriend, and a great cast in general. I think that this shows represents modern Spain very well, and the Spanish they use is the one we use when we talk, so you’ll learn slang too. There’s a “sequel” called “La que se avecina” but I don’t really like it.
Aída (Telecinco). This was really good. It’s about the life of a woman called Aída in a working-class neighbourhood. You have other characters, of course, and most of them are quite funny. It’s really good for language learning because they use modern Spanish. They’re also good at showing what Spain is like.
El Ministerio del Tiempo (TVE). Ok so everyone LOVES this show. The writer actually finished the show while he was dying at the hospital. Anyways, this is about the Ministry of Time, a Ministry of the Spanish Government that has agents that travel to the past to solve some problems that would affect our present (most of them are related with Spanish history). You have characters from different historical periods that travel in time together. THIS IS SO GOOD.
Los misterios de Laura (TVE). Have you ever seen the American show “the mysteries of Laura”?. Well, that’s actually the copy of the original one, the Spanish version (which is WAY better). It’s about a woman who is a police officer, and she has to solve crimes. But she’s quite comical and the show is also about her relationship with her colleagues and relatives. There’s humor. Really good to learn vocabulary related with crime.
El Barco (Antena 3). So this show is over, but everyone loved it. It’s about a group of people who are in a ship and land just disappears, and they think they might be the only ones alive in our planet. Lots of drama.
Los Serrano (Telecinco). This show is over, and let me tell you, everyone HATED the ending. It’s about a family, really. This show was quite successful in Finland, lmao.
El Príncipe (Telecinco). This finished last year I believe. It’s about el Príncipe, a real neighbourhood of Celta. The main characters work for the police and you can see how life is like in this neighbourhood. They get to talk about racism and other issues.
Vis a vis (Antena 3). Women in prison. Yes, everyone thought it was a copy of Orange is the new black, but it isn’t. Really good.
Allí abajo (Antena 3). This is a comedy about a guy from the Basque Country that moves to Andalucia. Stereotypes everywhere. Never seen it, but I’m pretty sure you’ll hear a lot of the accent from Andalucia.
And there’re MANY more. If you search “series (TV channel) online” you’ll find the official websites where you can watch the episodes, or even find new shows. Enjoy!
