Youth Tabletalk: Navigating Life’s Challenges Through Open Conversation
Mental health awareness has gained significant momentum in recent years, but despite progress, stigma remains a formidable barrier. The stigma surrounding mental health issues continues to deter people from seeking help, openly discussing their struggles, or accessing necessary care. To truly make a difference, mental health advocacy must go beyond awareness campaigns and tackle the deep-rooted stigmatization that prevents individuals from receiving the support they need.

Profit, Plunder, and the Proletariat
The Threepenny Opera stands as one of the most scathing indictments of society ever to grace the stage. It is a darkly satirical masterpiece (one I had the opprotunity to perform in as a college theatre student), that strips away the exterior image of respectability to reveal an interior world; one where morality is for sale to the highest bidder. Born from the collaboration of playwright Bertolt Brecht and composer Kurt Weill in 1928, the work blurs the boundaries between high art and popular culture. Together they weaved together biting social critiques and revolutionary theatrical techniques. When their landmark production was first put to the silver screen, in 1931, the narrative became infused with a cinematic realism that further exposed the rot at the core of societal norms and contemporary human behavior. This analysis explores the historical background of The Threepenny Opera, while also examining how the stage play’s revolutionary approach to theater evolved in the new medium of cinema; as well as how future adaptations continue to resonate as powerful commentaries on pervasive social corruption.

FONDATION CARTIER REVEALS PLANS FOR NEW PARIS OUTPOST
Paris’s Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, which is celebrating its fortieth anniversary this year, has unveiled plans for its new home across from the Louvre. Set to welcome visitors in 2025, the classic Haussmannian building on place du Palais-Royal is being renovated by Pritzker Prize–winning French architect Jean Nouvel, who designed the foundation’s current home, a sleek glass-and-steel structure on boulevard Raspail, in 1994. That building was noted for its open, airy interior and lack of interior partition walls, allowing for the easy positioning of exhibitions.
