Advertisement Galanin, who is Tlingít and Unangax̂, has always worked on broader themes of Indigenous resilience and self-determination in the wake of centuries of colonial exploitation and dominance. Outside, Galanin's work often has a wry, gallows-humor edge, and the laughs are pretty grim. It's hard to argue they should be otherwise. But the future is important to Galanin, and his insistence that there is one is not to be ignored. Nicholas Galanin, "I think it goes like this (pick yourself up)," 2025. (Faith Ninivaggi) Faith Ninivaggi His work in recent years has included the giant text installation 'Never Forget,' Advertisement The inversion, blunt and confrontational, takes stock of shameful history, while projecting, unabashedly, a future goal. The landback movement is real, in motion, and has marked some successes at least north of the border: In Canada, Indigenous land claims have resulted in Nicholas Galanin, "Never Forget," 2021. (Lance Gerber) Lance Gerber Here in Boston, Galanin wades into a particular history with a knowing wink. Northwest Indigenous motifs — the familiar red and black depictions of whales, ravens, bear, turtles, among others, using simple geometric forms — are among the best known and most popular Native American icons in the country, reproduced and sold as tourist trinkets by the million. Land is a commodity too, Galanin knows; as a piece of public art, 'I think it goes like this' nods to an Indigenous resurgence that needs to be more than cultural and aesthetic, but rooted in the earth — a progression that remains too slow, and now hampered by a federal government with different priorities. Since January, the Trump administration has Here in New England, Indigenous tribes — the Wampanoag and Penobscot among them — have endured centuries of colonial rule; through those traumas, recent years have seen their cultures start to thrive again in very public ways. Just around the corner from Galanin's piece on Evans Way, — the kind of institution where, generations past, Indigenous culture was ossified and entombed.

(Faith Ninivaggi) Faith Ninivaggi That 'The Knowledge Keepers,' and 'I think it goes like this' sit out in open for all to see is significant. They are things you negotiate by simple fact of being in the city, whether by choice or not. 'I think it goes like this,' however, is sly; while 'The Knowledge Keepers' insists on a vibrant Indigenous present, Galanin's piece implies a complicated future of adaptation and reinvention, again and again. Indigenous progress has never been a straight line; in this regressive moment, Galanin reminds us that Indigenous people are well versed in making and remaking, for as long as it takes.

Superbikes in India: How millennials are turning high-speed riding into a lifestyle
Fill It, Shut It, Never Forget It The story is the same on most weekends. The quiet chill early in the morning is broken by the roar of burning dinosaur juice. Cubic capacities spit fire and turn the wheels for riders in search of peace. India is witnessing a surge in the popularity of high-end bikes. Clearly, as the Indian economy grows, so has the appetite for premium experiences. Riders are increasingly drawn to not just the machines, but the full package — cuttingedge tech, safety and a vibrant riding culture. Among superbikes, models like the Yamaha YZF-R1 , Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R , Ducati Panigale V4 , BMW S1000RR and Suzuki Hayabusa are all finding fans around the country. Adventure bikes like Triumph Tiger and tourers like Honda Gold Wing bookend the high-end bike market. According to data from Jato Dynamics, Aprilia, BMW, Ducati, Harley-Davidson, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Triumph have together sold around 6,500 bikes that cost upwards of `10 lakh since 2023. Motorcycle manufacturers have responded to demand with more accessible models and upgrade paths that let enthusiasts evolve from casual riders to high-performance explorers. Local assembly and innovation in electric and hybrid superbikes should drive further adoption. Beyond speed and engineering, high-end machines have become a symbol of lifestyle and community. From nippy weekend group rides to leisurely cross-country road trips, the culture around biking has deepened. Destinations like Leh, Spiti, Tawang, the western ghats, Wayanad and coastal routes of Tamil Nadu and Goa have become pilgrimages for these modern nomads. The rise of riding schools, track days and official biking clubs has given structure to the culture. These events build skills, strengthen bonds and help riders experience their machines to the fullest. More importantly, they are making superbiking a shared passion. Manufacturers are investing in this growing culture. Ducati, for example, highlights its Ducati Riding Experience (DRE) events and has seven active Ducati Official Clubs (DOCs) across India, with more on the way in Chennai and Kochi. 'These rides are not just leisure; they reflect the spirit of our brand and strengthen community advocacy,' says Bipul Chandra, MD, Ducati India. BMW Motorrad India is equally committed, planning over 72 rides in 2024 through its Weekend Escapes and BMW Safaris. 'We're not just selling motorcycles — we're creating unforgettable journeys,' says Vikram Pawah, president and CEO, BMW Group India. As a result of all of this, India's superbike accessories market is witnessing a surge, with motorcycle enthusiasts seeking enhanced safety, perfor mance and personalisation, says Vivek Jaising, founding partner, Performance Racing, a leading accessories major. Brands are also introducing high-quality riding gear tailored to Indian consumers, Jaising points out. Vroom With a View 1.

90s boyband star who abruptly vanished from public life pictured on rare outing
One 90s boyband star who quite literally vanished off the face of the Earth after quitting fame has been spotted on a rare outing. Take That member Jason Orange rose to fame in 1990 when the group was formed, comprising Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Howard Donald, and Robbie Williams. Jason was part of the Never Forget hitmaking band for six years and returned when they reunited in 2005, but ultimately bowed out of performing and fame altogether when he quit in 2014. Now aged 54, the former pop star lives a much quieter life and is rarely seen in public. New photos capture him looking super chilled while cycling in Primrose Hill. Jason appeared in good spirits for his solo outing, dressed in casual attire with his hood up to avoid drawing attention to himself. The Patience singer sported dark grey cargo pants and a zip-up jacket, concealing his eyes with a pair of tinted shades. No longer performing to crowds of thousands or dancing in ultra-cheesy music videos, Jason has swapped his once hectic lifestyle for a much more normal pace. At the start of this year, it was reported that the star had entered the property business with Celtic football legend Neil Lennon. A source told The Sun in January: 'Jason and Neil have known each other for a fair while and played in a charity football game together some years back.' They continued: 'Neil has a firm, and Jason has come on board. 'Jason prefers to live a quiet life out of the spotlight but has got a real flair for property.' It's believed Jason sold his first property around that time, with customers praising his 'lovely' and 'professional' manner. When Jason announced he was leaving Take That, he told their devoted fanbase: 'I want to start by saying how proud I am of what we have achieved together over the years. 'I have spent some of the best years of my life with Take That, and I'd like to thank everyone who has been a part of my journey, including my bandmates, who I feel are like brothers to me.' While he referred to his now ex-bandmates as his 'brothers' at the time, Jason rarely speaks to the other members of Take That now. In 2018, Howard told Loose Women he believes Jason wants to be 'a million miles away' from the life he used to lead, revealing he's not good at responding to calls or emails and is 'off the grid'. A recent Take That documentary also confirmed that Gary, 54, Mark, 53, and Howard, 54, struggle to get hold of him these days, with Gary specifically admitting it's a surprise. The Let Me Go hitmaker said there was no real reason for Jason cutting contact, given that a feud wasn't the reason for his exit. He confirmed he only hears from Jason sporadically. More Trending 'It's a tricky one with Jay. I almost think if there had been a big argument, it would be easier, but there wasn't,' he added. 'He just wanted a change in his life. But he does keep an eye on us. And it's nice to know that.' The award-winning boyband is still going strong now as a trio, having ticked off some incredible bucket list achievements in recent years. Most recently, they performed a reworked version of their tune Greatest Day at the Baftas after it featured in the Oscar-winning movie Anora. Got a story?

Flicker denied being in Washington D.C. during the timeframe of the attacks in a January 13, 2021 video she put on her Instagram account, urging followers not to 'believe all the bulls**t that's out there. She said, 'I'm getting fake news alerts again! Supposedly they're saying that I was at the Capitol on January 6 for the rally. Not me. But the girl who, I don't know what picture's circulating around, she better be pretty.' Flicker continued in the clip, 'I've been in Florida since December 3rd. Headed back to Jersey soon. Hey, but you know what I have to say? Just keep me relevant, that's all I have to say!'
