Glastonbury 2024: Banksy’s Art Duel, Brat Fest, and Paul Mescal’s Daring Shorts Comeback
Following British customs, over 200,000 attendees—among them celebrities—traveled to a dairy farm located in Pilton, Somerset, during the weekend for Glastonbury, where the headliners this year were Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA. Get up to speed on this year’s key moments here.
Little Simz made a mark as a potential future headliner
The rapper from London and past British Vogue cover model performed on the Pyramid Stage before the headliners Coldplay (later joining them onstage to unveil a fresh track, “We Pray”), but undoubtedly, it’s merely a matter of time until Simz is headlining herself. With minimal extravagance (no dance routines here), the artist kept the Glastonbury audience captivated throughout her performance. “I need you to recognize that you are witnessing greatness,” she declared on stage. “And I don’t utter that with arrogance; I declare it confidently.” No one is disputing her—least of all the music critics.

What might stand out as the pinnacle of Coldplay’s undeniably grand set on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday evening? A guest appearance by Michael J. Fox, who joined the ensemble to play guitar on “Fix You.” The 63-year-old icon from Back to the Future, who has been confronting Parkinson’s disease for over 30 years, holds a significant role in the band’s inception story, as remarked by frontman Chris Martin, who found inspiration in Fox’s version of “Johnny B Goode” from the iconic 1985 movie. “Thank you immensely, our hero,” Martin expressed on stage. Even the most ardent Coldplay critics couldn’t resist being touched.

Mi hija es la luz de mi vida, pero su nacimiento pudo haberme costado la vida. No tuve epidural, porque gracias a años escribiendo Grey’s Anatomy, temía más las complicaciones que el dolor del parto.
Mi parto fue considerado normal, lo cual significa que caminaba, me doblaba y vomitaba del dolor agónico cada pocos minutos durante 22 horas, luego empujé con todo mi cuerpo por cuatro horas más. Aun así, necesité asistencia con vacío para sacar al bebé porque su cabeza estaba atrapada en mi pelvis. Cuando mi hija finalmente salió, sana, lloré de alivio, pero mi rostro estaba seco porque estaba demasiado deshidratada para producir lágrimas. En ese momento pasó rápidamente de normal a aterrador mientras la sangre comenzaba a salir de mi cuerpo acumulándose en el piso del hospital.
No morí desangrada porque el equipo médico tuvo fácil acceso a misoprostol, un medicamento que ha sido retirado de los carros de emergencia en Louisiana porque, aunque es increíblemente eficaz para detener las hemorragias post-parto, también se puede usar para inducir abortos. También requirió que me pusieran esponjas y gasas y nueve puntos para detener la hemorragia.
Me llevó meses recuperarme completamente del parto, en parte por la pérdida de sangre, y en parte porque una de las esponjas fue olvidada dentro de mí. Si eres fan de Grey’s, sabes que una esponja olvidada puede llevar a serias infecciones, enfermedades y muerte. Tuve suerte de sentir que algo estaba mal y que los doctores me creyeron, buscaron y encontraron la esponja podrida mientras los antibióticos aún podían tratar la infección.
Estoy compartiendo los detalles espantosos del nacimiento de mi hija porque las mujeres usualmente no lo hacen. De la misma manera que nuestra cultura nos ha enseñado a susurrar sobre nuestras menstruaciones y ocultar nuestros tampones, a pesar de que nuestros ciclos perpetúan nuestra especie, las nuevas madres son culturalmente guiadas a ocultar los detalles más brutales del parto. Nuestra sociedad enfoca en bebés hermosos y risueños. Ignora, a través de un silencio culturalmente perpetuado, las heridas físicas y emocionales que acompañan la experiencia del embarazo, el aborto espontáneo, el parto y la maternidad.
Creo que en parte por este silencio, porque nos hacen sentir que de alguna manera traicionamos a nuestros impresionantes y amados bebés al nombrar las realidades que conducen a su existencia y la acompañan, hemos permitido que se aprueben leyes en los Estados Unidos de América que obligan a las mujeres a llevar embarazos no deseados a término. Es crucial que las mujeres comiencen a hablar sobre lo que realmente significa el término “derechos reproductivos”, porque es la única manera de enfatizar la importancia de que votemos en esta elección.
Moo Deng Takes the Spotlight
During the peak of X’s renown (indeed, back when it was still known as Twitter), it appeared we couldn’t pass a week without the rise of some new viral, internet-loving creature, ranging from Fiona the Hippo from Cincinnati Zoo (she takes baths, folks!) to Koko, arguably the world’s most renowned gorilla. Regrettably, genuinely enjoyable animal content has seen a decline online recently, which perhaps explains why the emergence of Thai pygmy hippo Moo Deng has enthralled the masses. Below, discover all you need to know regarding Moo Deng, the girl we all aspire to be.
Who is Moo Deng?
Moo Deng, whose name means “bouncy pork” in Thai, is a two-month-old pygmy hippopotamus who has been capturing hearts since her birth on July 10, 2024. She’s one of seven offspring born to proud hippo parents Jona and Tony, and despite the risk of offending her siblings, who can surely read and have Vogue web subscriptions, she’s quite evidently the standout: She’s become a Utah Jazz meme and even inspired a Sephora Thailand campaign encouraging customers to “wear your blush like a baby hippo.” What greater accolade could exist for a young animal?
Where does Moo Deng reside?
Moo Deng’s current abode is Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Chonburi, Thailand, which has been overwhelmed with visitors eager to catch a sight of the young hippo. According to a social media update from the zoo, guests are now restricted to five-minute slots of time with Moo Deng, partially due to occurrences of individuals tossing items or pouring water on her. As zoo director Narongwit Chodcho informed a local publication: “These actions are not only cruel but also hazardous. We must safeguard these animals and ensure they have a secure and comfortable setting.” (It’s noteworthy that Moo Deng’s pygmy hippo species is endangered, with merely about 2,000 left in the wild.)
Why has Moo Deng become such a viral phenomenon?
Moo Deng’s adorableness speaks volumes—she’s a rounded, glossy, wet-eyed diva—and online, her devoted fans have diligently shared images of the hippo doing everything from bathing to eating to seemingly crying out into the void. In the span of roughly a week, she’s become a symbol for our confused times.
Art Fusion Haven: The Campus in Hudson Valley
While school may have dismissed for summer, art classes are fervently buzzing at The Campus, upstate New York’s newfound cultural retreat. Nestled just on the outskirts of Hudson in a once-empty school abandoned since the 1990s, the initiative signifies an unmatched union between six New York galleries: Bortolami, James Cohan, Kaufmann Repetto, Anton Kern, Andrew Kreps, and Kurimanzutto. On June 29, above 2,000 attendees rejoiced at the debut of The Campus’s first exhibition, curated by independent curator Timo Kappeller, which will remain on display until October 27. Despite 78,000 square feet dedicated to showcases, ample space was available for creations by over 80 artists—including Cecily Brown, Yinka Shonibare, and Jenny Holzer—to thrive.
Nearly three years ago, Kreps observed that the old establishment, constructed in 1951, was obtainable as the COVID pandemic was prompting creatives to relocate upstate en masse. Enamored by its mid-century architecture and reminiscent backdrop, he, along with his gallery partners, united efforts to acquire it, acknowledging a prime opportunity.
“The collaborative spirit flourishing amongst the Tribeca galleries inspired us to trust in a project like The Campus,” mentions Stefania Bortolami, noting that the involved entities are “constantly communicating.” The gallery of the Italy-born dealer, along with Andrew Kreps and Kaufmann Repetto, already shares a venue, 55 Walker, and frequently hosts exhibitions together. “This shared social framework meant that when the chance emerged to acquire a closed school, we were already equipped to proceed together.”
Unexpected Delight: The Enchanting Experience of Conclave
Perhaps that’s exactly why I felt an irresistible pull towards Conclave, Edward Berger’s captivating thriller revolving around the election of a new pope. This movie, adapted from Robert Harris’s 2016 novel, is sprinkled with priests acting mischievously and Isabella Rossellini expertly expressing disapproval towards just about everyone. However, as far as we know, none of their assorted misdeeds involve any harm to minors. (Though, to be completely honest, there is a subplot concerning Nigeria’s Cardinal Adeyemi getting involved in a forbidden romance with a nun from his homeland, but there’s no particular indication that said nun was underage at that time.) Generally, the questionable actions of these aspiring popes can be summarized into two words: “vaping” and “gossip,” both of which I A-D-O-R-E!
St. Vincent Unveils Her Soul in “Todos Nacen Gritando”: A Spanish-Language Odyssey
Earlier this annum, St. Vincent’s Annie Clark unveiled All Born Screaming, a record that skillfully encapsulates the chaotic whirlwind of sentiments encompassing existence in 2024 through a concise 10 tracks over 42 minutes. This self-produced album is both raw, gritty, sensual, experimental, and amusing. It highlights Clark as an artist at her pinnacle, possessing full command.
This is why the announcement of her releasing a Spanish-language adaptation of the album, named Todos Nacen Gritando, is so thrilling. You see, St. Vincent speaks only un poquito de Español. “I studied Spanish in junior high and high school, and I mean Soy de Tejas, vivo en California,” she expressed in a recent phone chat playfully sprinkled with Spanish, (which worked as Spanish is my primary language). “However, I’ve always aspired to achieve fluency. Now I use Duolingo simply to maintain practice.” She collaborated with her closest friend and frequent partner-in-creation, Alan del Rio Ortiz, to translate the album, refining the wording to align with existing melodies, before re-recording each song. The outcome is exhilarating—Clark’s thick accent and occasional mispronunciation of words add to the album’s charm and significance. Here stands St. Vincent showing a fragile facet, engaging in a grandiose concept purely driven by her desire, and as an expression of affection and appreciation towards her Spanish-speaking audience in Latin America, Spain, and worldwide. “I contemplated the locales I most love to perform. I’ve encountered countless formative moments playing in Mexico, Latin America, and Spain,” she mentions. “It’s incredible to see people, for whom English isn’t the first language, singing along to every word. In many cases, English might be their second, third, or fourth language, who really knows? So I thought, if they are coming to me, why shouldn’t I attempt to reach out to them? And it served as a reason for me to initiate improving my Spanish towards eventual fluency.” Prior to the launch of “Pulga,” available today, St. Vincent discusses the album’s assemblage and how translations sometimes bestowed new significance to the tracks.
