A Takamatsu la sera non è fatta solo di locali pieni.
A volte è fatta anche di persone ferme davanti a un izakaya, a guardare il menu illuminato dall’esterno.
Entriamo?
Sarà buono?
Quanto spenderemo?
Poi quasi sempre si entra lo stesso.
Perché l’odore che esce dalla porta, le luci calde e il rumore dei piatti bastano già a convincerti.
Evenings in Takamatsu are not only about crowded restaurants.
Sometimes they are simply about people standing in front of an izakaya, staring at the illuminated menu outside.
Should we go in?
Will it be good?
Will it be expensive?
Most of the time, people enter anyway.
Because the smell coming from the door, the warm lights and the sound of dishes are already convincing enough.

Weinstein has been convicted of other crimes in the US and is already behind bars but move leaves rape charge in limbo
Harvey Weinstein’s retrial in New York on a rape charge ended in a mistrial on Friday after the jury deadlocked in the closely watched criminal case that another jury had already failed to decide last year.
The disgraced former Hollywood mogul has been convicted of other sex crimes on the US east and west coasts and is already in jail. But Friday’s declaration of another mistrial leaves the New York rape charge in limbo after three trials.
Animal wedged upside down nicknamed ‘lucky’ Lucy after being freed with only superficial cut on foot
“There’s a deer trapped in an escalator” was not a phrase anyone at Hillside Animal Sanctuary in Norfolk was expecting to hear when staff at a Marks & Spencer department store in central Norwich called last Tuesday.
“In Norfolk, deers often get themselves in trouble,” said the sanctuary’s founder, Wendy Valentine. “They get stuck between walls and sheds, and in gates. It’s quite common for deer to get trapped … But ‘trapped in an escalator’ was a first.”
Fusing elements of Persian architecture with Christian altarpieces, Arghavan Khosravi grapples with the structures and ideological strictures that shape our lives. The Iranian artist has long reckoned with women’s fight for equality, particularly amid censorship and religious dogma in her native country. Through vibrant gradients that radiate across her sculptural paintings, Khosravi entices the viewer into urgent, ongoing conversations about resistance and control.
Opening today at Uffner & Liu, What Remains presents a dynamic new body of work that captures moments of tension and strife. Figures, in Khosravi’s works, are often restricted and tethered to domestic objects and space, and critically, physically separated from one another. Complete with hinged shutters, suspended cords, and tiny visages tucked into unassuming openings, these new pieces incorporate women obscured by their surroundings, leaving only fragments of a limb or face visible.

While altarpieces have historically been utilized to share stories of the divine through visual depictions, Khosravi instead turns inward. She lives and works in Stamford, Connecticut, and her homesickness and longing for a changed Iran are strong. Large-scale works like “Bearing” portray a seated woman buttressing a Persian building, thick, black, oil-like liquid seeping from its foundation.
What Remains was already in progress before the U.S. war against Iran, the gallery shares. The works are therefore not in response to this particular conflict but rather a timely acknowledgment of what it means to live in a region continually in crisis. As always, Khosravi reminds us that even amid chaos, destruction, and government overreach that outlasts any singular emergency, beauty and self-empowerment can still trigger a new paradigm.
What Remains runs through July 2 in New York. Explore more of the artist’s politically attuned works on Instagram.
