“You will, I assure you, as long as space and time divide you from anyone you love, discover a great deal about shipping routes, airlines, earthquake, famine, disease, and war. And you will always know what time it is in Hong Kong, for you love someone who lives there. And love will simply have no choice but to go into battle with space and time and, furthermore, to win,” are the words that opened “Reading James Baldwin (1924-1987): A Celebration of Baldwin’s Writing.”

Welcome Brandeisians far and wide, to the first edition of this splendid column that I will call The Opinion. Now, in a day and age when many opinions are being thrown into the public, some may find my column tactless. I mean, with so much happening in the world, how does one Jewish, non-binary history major think that their opinions about the world/school/life/everything matter to the extent that they want to write a piece in the University newspaper? I mean, come on! There are people more deserving of a platform who haven’t had the voice to speak.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is often portrayed in stark, binary terms. Yet, within this landscape of division, individuals like Rabbi Hanan Schlesinger and Khaled Abu Awwad offer a testament to the power of human connection and the potential for transformative change, both individually and systematically. Their work, through the organization they co-founded, Roots—Judur—Shorashim, seeks to bring together West Bank Palestinians and Israeli settlers, sparking a quiet revolution of connection and offering a glimmer of optimism in a remarkably bleak landscape. The two activists came to Brandeis on Feb. 26 to share their individual journeys and the creation of Roots.

The fog, the slog, the mess of it all. I left it behind. With increasing frequency, I curse my naïve decision to move back East. You see, I grasped idle, quiet, undisturbed perfection for a little over a decade without knowing it. I curse my own ignorance. How could I have looked onto that endless horizon and not recognized its beauty? How did I breathe the aridity of that fine desert air and dream of breathing in clouds of self-importance? I walked into the wilderness this break and felt my own vanity vanish into the Western air. This is Peace.

As visitors step off Boston’s breezy streets and through the shadowed entryway of the WNDR Museum (pronounced ‘Wonder’), their attention is immediately drawn to the softly illuminated flowers winding around the space’s jet-black walls that cast warm light onto them below. The flowers, drawn by children of museum employees using technology to upscale and project, are part of an installation titled “WNDR Flowers,” according to the general manager, Giancarlo Natale. In the hallway beyond, mirrors stretch from floor to ceiling, doubling the luminous effect and drawing visitors deeper into the museum’s curated dreamscape. It’s a playful introduction to what awaits, a space that not only displays art but indirectly showcases ongoing debates around the meaning of creation in an age of machine learning and digital tools.

“Emilia Pérez” has been called many things: offensive, tasteless, a regressive and stereotypical portrayal of the trans experience, heinous, the list of negative adjectives goes on. Despite this, the film is critically acclaimed and has recieved numerous accolades at Cannes Film Festival, the Golden Globes and the Critics Choice Awards, and multiple award nominations. The film is up for 11 British Academy Film Awards and three Screen Actors Guild awards. Most impressive of all is the truly baffling 13 Oscar nominations it has received, putting “Emilia Pérez” only one nomination away from joining “All About Eve,” “Titanic,” and “La La Land” as the most nominated films in Oscars history.

Knora’s hands are soft. With nimble fingers she knits from a spool of copper wire, manipulating it as a spider spins a gauzy web. The knit copper forms the bodice of the dress. The skirt and bust are lined with dried oranges. Once a delicate citrus, the produce has been transformed into a collection of unyielding, shell-like discs. They sit layered in a collage that appears impenetrable. A metal made malleable; a raw fruit made hard — these elements interplay in a way that conjures thoughts of vulnerability and consumption for Knora.
