UTRECHT (ANP) - Het Domplein in Utrecht is donderdagavond rond 18.30 uur gevuld met honderden mensen die een demonstratie voor solidariteit bijwonen. Dat ziet een ANP-verslaggever. De sfeer is gemoedelijk. De demonstratie is een initiatief van De Straat Op, een samenwerkingsverband van verschillende organisaties zoals DeGoedeZaak, Extinction Rebellion (XR) en de Dolle Mina's.
Een aantal demonstranten draagt Palestijnse vlaggen en vlaggen van XR. Volgens de organisatie is het "na het extreemrechtse geweld van de afgelopen weken" tijd voor een ander geluid. Eerder liepen protesten tegen de komst van asielzoekers, zoals in Loosdrecht, uit de hand. Er werd brand gesticht, er werden vernielingen aangericht en demonstranten gooiden met stenen en zwaar vuurwerk.
Bordjes met teksten als "zeg ja tegen azc" en "Toen niet, nu niet. Nooit meer fascisme" worden omhooggehouden. De demonstranten roepen in koor dat vluchtelingen welkom zijn. Journalist Zoë Papaikonomou spreekt het volle plein toe. Zij stelt dat er sprake is van extreemrechtse terreur in Nederland en dat de anti-azc-demonstranten "xenofobe terroristische fascisten" zijn.
De demonstranten zeggen de straat op te gaan voor solidariteit en de verwelkoming van mensen op de vlucht. "Wij staan naast onze buren, of ze nou gevlucht zijn of altijd al hier gewoond hebben."
Actievoerders van Geef Tegengas blokkeren regelmatig de Havenspoorlijn in de Rotterdamse haven. Vooral deze maand is het bijna iedere dag raak. Bedrijven en ProRail schatten de economische schade inmiddels op vele miljoenen euro’s. Waarom verbiedt de burgemeester deze demonstraties niet?

Cannes film festival: Threading together three stories from distinct eras of Spanish life, this narrative triptych is superlatively acted and beautifully shot
The Black Ball is a narrative triptych about the lives of three different Spanish men at various times: a meditation derived from Lorca about the secret history of gay men’s sexuality, which has been erased, excluded or denied – sexuality transfigured into a mysterious, restorative poetry of the soul. In Lorca’s words, “only mystery keeps us alive” and in fact the small regret I have about this superlatively acted and beautifully shot film is that once the connection between the three narrative strands is explained, some of the mystery and poetry is lost.
In 1932, Carlos (Milo Quifes) is a young man of a good family in Granada, who applies for membership of the elite “Casino” club but is turned down on the grounds of his rumoured homosexuality, blackballed in an oppressively elaborate ceremony presided over by politicians and clergymen, in which the white and black balls are solemnly rolled down a special chute. In 1939, Sebastián (played by the actor and musician Álvaro Lafuente Calvo) finds himself chaotically enlisted into the pro-Franco nationalist army during the civil war and falls in love with the wounded Republican prisoner-of-war that he is supposed to be guarding. This is Rafael (Miguel Bernardeau), an actor and footballer with Atlético Madrid, an impossibly handsome, captivatingly vulnerable man whose bandages ooze blood like the tears of a miraculous statue.

Single-sex toilets and changing rooms in England, Wales and Scotland must exclude transgender men and women, according to a new code of practice from the equalities watchdog.
But the long-awaited guidance also says that businesses and service providers have to offer practical alternatives such as gender-neutral toilets for people who do not wish to use services for their biological sex.

Ivan Toney in Tuchel’s thoughts and Levi Colwill out
Thomas Tuchel has made ruthless calls with his World Cup selection, finding no space for Phil Foden and Cole Palmer in England’s 26-man squad and leaving a “shocked and gutted” Harry Maguire on the outside.
Foden and Palmer have had underwhelming seasons for Manchester City and Chelsea respectively and will not be included in the 26-man party for the tournament this summer, which Tuchel will name at Wembley on Friday morning.

The duty of the seer is to witness the unseen, the contribution of the explorer is to chart the uncharted. Each has their vehicle, their instrument, and their process. It is on them that we depend for a vision of what is to come. Enter GMUNK, who has increasingly been drawn to the process of infrared photography as a technique for mapping a world that lies beyond the perception of our naked eye. Essentially, manipulating the light spectrum to unearth the invisible landscape. In this series, shot across three vastly different earthly frontiers, we are inducted into a very personal journey.
The Obey Icon Face evolved at the end of 1995 into early 1996 out of the desire to move further away from an association with Andre the Giant and toward a more universal “Big Brother” (as in George Orwell’s 1984) image. I had become fascinated by the power of the streamlined graphic approach of the Russian Constructivist posters and wanted an icon that would integrate into work of this style. In the beginning of my street art campaign, I had been generating and proliferating propaganda using pop culture associations, but I had become more interested in commenting on propaganda with art having a direct stylistic parallel. The Obey Icon Face suited this need perfectly and with the Obey red box logo, inspired by Barbara Kruger, incorporated, the style and message of the design were complementary. The concept behind Obey is to provoke people who typically complain about life’s circumstances but don’t question things more deeply, to have to confront their own obedience. Obey is a very sarcastic form of reverse psychology.
