Frida Kahlo (born 6th. July 1907)

Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) était une peintresse mexicaine dont les oeuvres - principalement des auto-portraits - questionnent sur nos rapports à l’identité, le corps et la mort.

They thought I was a surrealist, but I wasn’t. I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality”

Ses représentations sans complaisance de son propre corps - jeune, elle avait eu un accident causé par un tramway - et son style artistique inhabituel ont fait d’elle une icone féministe des temps modernes. Pour cet anniversaire de Frida Kahlo, regardez ces dessins d’élèves sur Instagram.
Le saviez vous ?
Frida était née le 6 juillet mais elle insistait pour avoir son anniversaire le 7 juillet car c’est aussi la date d’anniversaire de la révolution mexicaine.


Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) was a Mexican painter whose works - mainly self-portraits - question our relationships with identity, the body and death.
They thought I was a surrealist, but I wasn’t. I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality “
Her uncompromising portrayals of her own body - young, she had a tramway accident - and her unusual artistic style have made her a modern feminist icon. For Frida Khalo’s birthday, check out these student drawings on Instagram.
Did you know ?
Frida was born on July 6 but insisted on having her birthday on July 7 because it is also the anniversary of the Mexican Revolution.

Secularism: Why French Secularism is So Hard to Grasp

Secularism/Laïcité

article from institutmontaigne.org
The 1905 French law separating the Church and the State is now over a hundred years old. The laïcité (or secularism) principle it defines, despite the term not being mentioned in the text, is unique in the world and is an integral part of France’s contemporary political DNA.

Laïcité is the product of the long evolution of the relationship between the Church and the State.

EDUCATION: La laïcité à l’école

EDUCATION A study by the National Center for the Study of School Systems (Cnesco) shows that the vast majority of students know and respect the main principles of secularism

(Vidéo de France24)
Dans cette vidéo qui date de 2013, La charte de la laïcité à l’école, est présentée par le ministre de l’Éducation nationale Vincent Peillon. Elle a été saluée par la majorité du corps enseignant. Mais certaines institutions religieuses, comme le CFCM*, la jugent stigmatisante.

it pointedly disputes the idea of a unanimous French Resistance. Behind the scenes the Paris police, eager to impress the Nazis, supervise grisly tortures of suspected partisans. Pujol (Jean-Pierre Darroussin), an inspector in the neighborhood where the Resistance is centered, is emblematic of the double-dealing treachery of French officials in the Vichy government. Trucks containing Jewish deportees rumble through the streets and give pedestrians only a moment’s pause.

“Army of Crime,” whose title alludes to Jean-Pierre Melville’s 1969 masterpiece, “Army of Shadows” (set in the same period) […] also refers to the infamous “Affiche Rouge” (red poster) circulated by the Nazis on which the headline, “L’Armée du Crime” (“Army of Crime”), was plastered under the anti-fascist partisans’ photographs.
