O artista é um iluminado que canaliza sentimentos e intuições oprimidas pelo cotidiano, de forma a nos deslocar do lugar comum e do automatismo de nossas rotinas (ou retinas). Através das expressões artísticas, o cidadão vítima da burocracia do Estado, das circunstâncias sociais e da soberba dos poderosos pode se (re) conhecer como um ser-humano único e original. Pode enxergar a realidade através de outras lentes e assim questionar toda sorte de injustiças e mazelas que aparentemente são naturais, mas que na verdade são resultados de processos históricos, políticos e econômicos - que na maioria das vezes muitos de nós sequer compreendemos. Na China, economicamente pujante dos dias de hoje, admirada como "cliente", que hipnotiza empresas e governos do mundo ávidos para participar do seu crescimento sem se importar se o partido único que controla os chineses, carrega na esteira das benesses do consumo e da industrialização acelerada, questões como o totalitarismo pol...

Volodynyr Zelenskyy has made quite a quick and dramatic transition.
In less than six years he’s gone from a comedian and TV actor to politician to president of Ukraine to global hero.
Zelenskyy has become Ukraine’s voice of resistance – the brave leader who refuses to surrender or flee in the face of the brutal and massive invasion of his country by Vladimir Putin’s military machine.

Volodynyr Zelenskyy has made quite a quick and dramatic transition.
In less than six years he’s gone from a comedian and TV actor to politician to president of Ukraine to global hero.
Zelenskyy has become Ukraine’s voice of resistance – the brave leader who refuses to surrender or flee in the face of the brutal and massive invasion of his country by Vladimir Putin’s military machine.
While Putin has become the free world’s Great Satan, people everywhere are praising Zelenskyy and even comparing him to historic war-time leaders like Winston Churchill and Benjamin Franklin.
Not to diminish Zelenskyy’s personal courage or the moral power of his calls for military help from NATO and the United States, but when it comes to great leaders in the world today, there isn’t much competition.
Joe Biden? Boris Johnson? Emmanuel Macron of France?
Not exactly modern day Reagans, Thatchers and Pope John Pauls, are they?
To defend his country Zelenskyy needs some deadly stuff – modern jet planes and lots more advanced shoulder-fired Javelin anti-tank and Stinger anti-aircraft missiles.
While he’s waiting to see what weapons he’ll get, he’s just received a freedom award from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute.The Ronald Reagan Freedom Award won’t do much against a Russian tank.
But when Zelenskyy officially gets his honor on Monday for his "courageous fight against tyranny" it might lift his spirits a little.
It’s a fitting award to give to Zelenskyy for standing up to the Russians.
It's been given in the past to the likes of Mikhail Gorbachev, Margaret Thatcher, Colin Powell, Poland’s Lech Walesa and a fellow comedian/actor, Bob Hope, aka, America’s ambassador of "Goodwill."
The award represents the values and principles of freedom that Ronald Reagan fought for all his life and is considered the "highest civilian honor" bestowed by the Reagan foundation.
