The art of Frida Kahlo in a unique online exhibition
Original Translation:
The “Eternal Derby” of Greece, as the match between Olympiacos and Panathinaikos is known, is once again in the spotlight. This time, however, the focus is not on the field, but on the stands. The fans of the two teams have a long history of rivalry, which often leads to violent clashes. But now, a new element has been added to this fiery mix: the use of drones.
During the last match, a drone flew over the stadium, carrying a banner with insulting messages for the opposing team. The incident caused a stir, both among the fans and the authorities, and raised questions about the security measures in Greek stadiums.
The drone incident is not the first of its kind. In recent years, there have been several cases of drones being used in football matches, both in Greece and abroad. The most famous case is probably the one that occurred during the 2014 match between Serbia and Albania, where a drone carrying an Albanian flag flew over the stadium, causing a riot.
The use of drones in football matches is a controversial issue. On the one hand, it can be seen as a new form of expression for the fans, a way to show their support for their team. On the other hand, it can also be seen as a new form of hooliganism, a way to provoke and insult the opposing team.
In any case, the use of drones in football matches raises serious security concerns. Drones can not only carry banners with insulting messages, but also potentially dangerous objects. Therefore, the authorities are called upon to take measures to prevent such incidents from happening in the future.
The “Eternal Derby” of Greece, the match between Olympiacos and Panathinaikos, is once again making headlines. But this time, the focus is not on the pitch, but in the stands. The fans of these two rival teams have a storied history of animosity, which often erupts into violent confrontations. Now, a new component has been added to this volatile mix: drones.
During the most recent match, a drone flew over the stadium, bearing a banner with offensive messages aimed at the opposition. The incident stirred up controversy among fans and authorities alike, prompting questions about the security protocols in Greek stadiums.
This drone incident is far from an isolated event. Over the past few years, there have been multiple instances of drones being deployed at football matches, both in Greece and internationally. The most notable of these occurrences was during the 2014 match between Serbia and Albania, when a drone bearing an Albanian flag flew over the stadium, inciting a riot.
The deployment of drones at football matches is a contentious issue. On one hand, it’s viewed as a novel way for fans to express their support for their team. On the other hand, it’s seen as a new breed of hooliganism, a method to taunt and insult the opposition.
Regardless, the use of drones at football matches raises significant security concerns. Drones can carry not only banners with offensive messages, but also potentially hazardous objects. As such, authorities are being urged to implement measures to prevent such incidents from recurring in the future.
Perhaps it is the Google.com/project/frida-kahlo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most extensive collection ever assembled, featuring works, objects, photographs, and all kinds of documents related to Frida Kahlo, the Mexican surrealist painter and women’s rights advocate who used her art to explore her identity, Mexican heritage, politics, and disability.
The collection, which is accessible to all, has been posted on the Google Arts & Culture platform for some time and was created through Google’s collaboration with an international network of experts and 31 museums and collections around the world.
The collection, divided into sections, explores Frida Kahlo’s relationship with her body, in an attempt to understand how the artist’s chronic illness influenced her work.
Kahlo’s appearance and her fashion choices, with her boldly painted lips, brightly colored dresses, and braided hair, became her trademark.
The 800 “exhibits” include photographs of Frida Kahlo’s works, among them 20 high-definition photos of her works that until recently had not been digitized.
The collection, divided into sections, explores Frida Kahlo’s relationship with her body, in an effort to understand how the artist’s chronic illness influenced her work, and also delves into the hidden meanings within her paintings.
In addition, in this magnificent collection, one can see personal photographs, diary excerpts, letters, clothing, her designs from private collections, early versions of her works that she had created on the back of her paintings, and even a photograph of Diego Rivera, her great love and husband, on which are imprinted Frida’s red lipstick-kissed lips – her trademark.
Users of the Google Arts & Culture app have the opportunity to visit “the places that influenced her career” through five Google Street view tours, including the famous Blue House in Mexico City, where she was born and died.
