Discover how a Nature School in Brooklyn aims to open New Yorkers' eyes to nature while Lawmakers question Bank of America about controversial payments. Dive into the details!

I Brooklyn er en 'Natur Skole' startet af kunstnerkollektivet Field Meridians i et forsøg på at få New Yorkere til at åbne deres øjne for naturen omkring dem. Seks uger med workshops vil inspirere til forbindelsen med naturen. Samtidig har lovgivere rejst spørgsmål om Bank of America's godkendelse af betalinger på 158 millioner dollars, og om banken har fulgt de nødvendige procedurer.

I boganmeldelsen af 'Negative Space' af Gillian Linden diskuteres forfatteren Lynn Steger Strongs værk 'Flight' og andre værker. Anmeldelsen blev udgivet den 16. april 2024 kl. 5:00 ET.

En senatskomité har sendt en skrivelse til Bank of America, hvor de spørger, om banken har fulgt passende procedurer, før de godkendte betalinger på 158 millioner dollars. Samtidig bliver filmen 'Man's Castle' fra 1933, med Spencer Tracy i hovedrollen, genoprettet til sin originale længde og vises på Museum of Modern Art. Filmen bringer temaer som fri kærlighed og hårde tider på en usædvanligt ærlig måde.

Interessant fakta: 'Man's Castle' var banebrydende for sin tid med dets ærlige udtryk for sociale problemer. Bank of America's kontroversielle handlinger vakte stor opmærksomhed og udløste en offentlig debat om økonomisk ansvarlighed.
