Muslim tourist refused entry to Italian gallery because of veil
"A world-renowned Venice museum apologised on Tuesday after a security guard refused entry to a Muslim tourist wearing a veil.
The woman, who was accompanied by her husband and daughter, had bought a ticket without any objections from staff at the cash tills of the Ca' Rezzonico museum, which houses an extensive collection of 18th-century Venetian art.
But when she tried to enter the museum rooms a security guard told her she had to remove her niqab (a veil which covers the face leaving only the eyes visible) or remain outside for security reasons."

Indian Culture For Sale
Indian culture is so popular in the West these days. Being South Asian myself, I find it interesting to see people embrace eastern symbolism with very little knowledge about its origins.
I’ve explored the themes of Indian-inspired clothing (saris, salwar kamis...), beauty, and symbolism ('om,' buddhas...) and their prominence in the western community. I also interviewed a few Indians and a few White people to get their take on this phenomenon.
What do you think?

Don't feed the pigeons in Venice!
"From 1 May, it will be an offence to feed the pigeons, including the birds in St Mark’s Square, but not everyone agrees. Corn vendors up in arms. Mayor could be outvoted

Venice Art Walls
Graffiti is one of the most important artforms we have, because it is spontaneous, political, radical, beautiful, and free. The Venice Art Walls is one of the only places where one can practice this without fear of being imprisoned. Despite widespread prejudice against this often gorgeous form of art, this place is a haven, visited by artists from across the globe. This video was made by Juri Koll, with the generous support of SmogTV, but most importantly, by the artists who visit the Venice Art Walls. Go there: www.smogtv.com. And go to the Walls!
