Sanja Ivekovic in New York
The name of Sanja Ivekovic is synonymous with art, creation and critique of a society where the role of women has changed thanks to fighting and struggling, many of which she has contributed to, by making them evident in her art: roles, stereotypes, disparities and abuses of power. Sanja was born in Yugoslavia, where after studying visual and graphic arts at the Zagreb Academy, she devoted herself to visual arts activism, defined as a feminist in a dictatorial regime Yugoslavia, in which women did not participate beyond the house and family matters. On many occasions she was confronted and even stopped by the Tito’s regime due to her controversial performances, one of these, was posing naked and masturbating, while drinking whiskey on a balcony, during a parade led by Tito and his armed forces. From these first acts of criticism of a closed system, lack of opportunities and especially the freedom to choose, communicate, and access to power, Sanja becomes recognized not only nationally but also in many other European countries for her critical and innovative work. Historically, Ivekovic’s work, has been linked to the recognition of the women’s role in society, with a strong socio-political commitment, commitment which is precisely the inspiration for her “Women’s house” in 1998, as well as her active participation in the center of women´s Studies in Zagreb. Sanja´s artwork, especially her performances, give us valuable information about her art and her active role as critic and activist, who reveals issues and problems, always causing controversy, which is precisely why Ivekovic is a founding artist of school, admired by her great courage and undeniable...Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum New York

Bagels of New York
Bagels are simply fabulous. If you haven´t tried them yet, you´re missing out on one of the best breakfast classics in the world. Without doubt, it´s more rooted in the United States due to a long tradition of its Jewish community. With the 20th century migrations to New York from Europe, whether it´s in the early part of the century or due to the Second World War persecutions, the Jewish community settled in New York, sharing the best of its culture and cuisine, among which, in the latter, we can find the famous bagels. A bagel has a circular shape with a small hole in the middle, and it can fit perfectly in your hand. It´s usually made in its classic way, with wheat dough. However, there are wholemeal versions of it, for those who want to have a better digestion or care for their waistline. In the same way, some bagels come with onions, olives, light fruits or grains. They are baked after a light boiling so that they come out hot and with a light golden shine. Bagels are eaten fresh or toasted, and among the favourite toppings we find butter or cream cheese. However, a bagel can be accompanied by tuna paste or paté, chicken strips and mayo or peanut butter, whatever you like the most. You can find some of the best bagels in New York in the following places: Absolute Bagels is in the Upper West Side. It´s definitely a sure bet if you´re looking for a place with some style.
