New Humanism Sets Out on the Silk Road Which Today Includes Marrakech
Photographer Élio Nogueira [IG] taps visually into a story shaped by centuries and the lives of traders.
Beyond the movement of physical goods, Marrakech facilitated a massive exchange of knowledge and culture that spread widely in the region.
During the early Middle Ages [Europe’s "Dark Ages"], much of the Greek philosophical and scientific corpus was lost to the West, as a result of the Crusades. However, it was preserved and expanded upon in the Islamic world.
In an action of true humanism, scholars from the Arab world and the West or European world, were joined by Jewish scholars — often bilingual or multilingual — to restore and expand on all the critical knowledge destroyed in the Crusades.

Mother-Nature, Gaia, Terra Mater, the “cult of the feminine” is center stage in the May 2024 issue of Vogue Portugal, writes Sofia Lucas.
The editorial issue overview opens with a quote from Aristotle:
“In all things of nature, there is something of the marvelous” - Aristotle
As educated women, we do not bow down to Aristotle, for clear and concise reasons.
There’s no record that Aristotle, the great philosopher and foundational contributor to Western civilization, saw significant value in women. He argued quite the opposite, and AOC contends that Aristotle was a creator of the misogyny and not merely reflecting his time in history.

Kerrigan Clark Poses in a Fish Market Eco Story by Élio Nogueira for Vogue Portugal AOC Fashion
Model Kerrigan Clark poses in one of Vogue Portugal’s November 2021 ‘no Comments’ issue cover stories. Sandra Benbaruk styles Clark in a fashion statement that does have environmental overtones, as humans and climate change seriously impact the world’s fish supplies. Élio Nogueira [IG] does create images that tell their own environmental story — not an easy feat — and are fashionable besides.
In this genre, nothing comes closest to Steven Meisel’s 2010 ‘Water & Oil’ fashion story for Vogue Italia under EIC Franca Sozzani. Such a controversy erupted with a clear fault line between the Americans and the Europeans in responding to Meisel’s disturbing images.
As is so often the case, AOC sided with the Europeans. Even CBS News covered the controversy.
