So not long ago now, the cosmetics manufacturer M·A·C and fashion label Rodarte teamed up to… no, really. Sell cosmetics, I was going to say. And then I was going to add their own phrase, "inspired by. " But then I just had to stop for a second, because it ain't easy to complete this sentence, because what the sisters Mulleavy of Rodarte were allegedly "inspired by" is the border city of Juárez, Mexico.

Batti Manfruelli, Corsica.According to those who knew him, Hilali was fearless. His depictions of Qaddafi were often very realistic, something Manfruelli alludes to in this cartoon, making his work all the more dangerous. Kais Hilali, Libya.Hilali didn’t shy away from provocation.
