Lisbon (Portugal), Mar 6. (EFE), (Camera: Andrea Caballero).- "It is impossible to be a woman and not have feminist consciousness," says Rita GT, a Portuguese artist who seeks, through her performances, to "generate a collective cure" against the injustices that women suffer. In 'Unearthing', which opens on March 8, on the occasion of Women's Day, the artist tells the stories of women who emigrated during the Portuguese colonial period. SOUNDBITES OF PORTUGUES ARTIST RITAGT:"Joining the energies of older women and do a job with the younger ones to have a collective healing attempt.""He was a war criminal and it makes no sense, amid the awareness that today exists, to pay homage to a war criminal.""I am a white woman, privileged by the fact of my skin colour, despite the injustices that I suffer for the fact of being a woman.""Sometimes, when we want to help, we end up weighing down and fetishizing black skin.""It is a good topic and something interesting to talk about. Like any injustice in human history, it must be rewritten. People say that in the past, there were no female artists because they had no right to have a profession. But that is not true. Because we have the job of rewriting and rethinking the history of art, of investigating the history of humanity. We will find great women artists." "For me, it is impossible to be a woman and not have feminist consciousness. I have the certainty that there is not a woman in the whole world who has not suffered an injustice for being so because the entire social structure is designed so that these events are part of daily life."

Who could have ever guessed that one can get so far in life just by playing in the sand? World renown sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik attempted a world record for the world's tallest sand castle along Puri beach in the Indian state of Odisha over the past two weeks and representatives of the Guinness Book of World Records flew down to check on the attempt. Pattnaik worked with 45 students from his Sudarsan Sand Art Institute as well as about 500 laborers in the sand over a period of 9 days to complete the structure. They focused the design around the theme of "World Peace" and carved global icons of peace, such as Mahatma Gandhi, Gautama Buddha, and Nelson Mandela, into their work of sand art. The team was aiming to beat the previous record held by American master sculptor Ted Siebert of 45 feet ten inches. In the end, the official height came in at a whopping 48 feet 8 inches, helping the team to secure a Guinness World Record on Friday. Pattnaik hopes that the new record as well as some of his other previous victories will draw attention and funding from the Indian government to help him accomplish his main dream - setting up a sand art park in his home state.
