IN THE YEARS following the 1972 publication of his seminal book Farewell Photography, Japanese photographer Daidō Moriyama became severely depressed. He moved out of Tokyo, became reliant on sleeping pills, and lost so much weight he was down to 88 pounds at one point. He did not pick up his camera for seven years. It was only when Akira Hasegawa, the editor of a new photography magazine, Shashin Jidai, proposed an interview that Moriyama allowed himself to reengage with the creative world. What followed was a series of six extraordinary photo essays with poetic titles published from 1981 to 1988. Late last year, a beautifully designed book celebrating these photo essays was co-published by Dashwood Books and Session Press. Dashwood founder and publisher David Strettell, in association with consultant…

RUNNING A parody account on TikTok, Bobbi Althoff knew her dream of making the transition to a celebrity interviewer was missing one key component: celebrities. So she put out a request to her followers: She would give $300 to whomever could connect her to a famous person willing to be on her podcast. One fan got her comedian Rick Glassman. Another led her to Funny Marco. In these interviews, her audience got their first glimpse of Althoff’s shtick: a deadpan, absurdist antagonism, part Zach Galifianakis on Between Two Ferns, part cringe Gen Z interrogation. Her next guest didn’t even require a finder’s fee. Instead, she wrote a DM to the five-time Grammy-winning (and notoriously elusive) rapper Drake. Three days later, they were filming a podcast episode in Drake’s bed.…

LAST NOVEMBER, just before the Latin Grammys in Seville, Spain, a crowd huddled in front of a club called Sala Cosmos, where the Brazilian superstar Anitta was co-hosting a massive party with Instagram. It got too massive: The venue was at full capacity, but that didn’t stop people from shoving toward the door, eager to get in. Some of them spilled onto the sidewalk, dancing to the muffled, breakneck Brazilian funk beats echoing from the DJ booth. Inside, Anitta was the life of the party, ass up and twerking on the dance floor in a highlighter-bright green-and-yellow dress. Stars like hip-hop legend DJ Premier and the Colombian pop band Morat milled about, while Anitta’s dancers, nearly all of them Brazilian, backed her up. The DJ spun track after track,…

WHEN THE BROOKLYN DUO Water From Your Eyes take the stage, their madcap combination of avant-pop loops and deadpan humor can draw a wide range of reactions. “A lot of people come up to the merch table afterwards and they’re like, ‘Yeah, at the beginning I did not understand what was happening and I did not like it, and by the end I loved it,’” says singer Rachel Brown. This year, with tour dates opening for established indie draws like Real Estate and Squid, they’ve added a live drummer and spent more time than ever practicing. “We’re trying to be a little more responsible,” adds instrumentalist and producer Nate Amos. “It’s an experiment.”…

IF YOU ASK the members of Grupo Frontera how they’ve become such a phenomenon in música Mexicana, they’ll probably say they’re just having fun. “Cumbias, I don’t want to say we revived them,” says vocalist Payo Solis, looking hesitantly at his bandmates at first. Then he adds, “But when we started playing them, it gave the genre a whole new life.” Over the past year, the Texas band has rocketed to the top of Latin music, even joining Bad Bunny onstage at Coachella 2023 for a rendition of their collaboration, “Un x100to.” On their debut LP, El Comienzo, the group — comprising Solis, drummer Carlos Guerrero, guitarist Beto Acosta, percussionist Julian Peña, accordionist Juan Javier Cantú, and bassist Brian Ortega—tapped into a generation’s nostalgia for the accordion-backed norteño sound…

Kristen Stewart is strong as fuck, and I do not mean this metaphorically. I am not, for instance, talking about any experience from her past that she has quote-unquote risen above, like that time she was in those vampire-werewolf movies and dubbed the World’s Most Hated Actress because she did not appear sufficiently stoked to sit in a room full of journalists and discuss making out with her co-stars. Or the time she was photographed kissing her much older (and married) Snow White and the Huntsman director, and, due to the horror this engendered, was banished from the sequel. I am not talking about the bravery it took to play Joan Jett in front of Joan Jett. Or the bravery it took to play Princess Diana in front of…

THE RIVER CHURNS a muddy brown as it carries us through towering vermilion rock walls toward the roar of Gypsum Canyon Rapid. The sound of water breaking over boulders grows louder as we approach, but Mike DeHoff shows no fear at the coming chaos. Rather, as he works the oars of his 18-foot raft, full of a week’s worth of camping gear and science equipment, it’s clear that he is, instead, thrilled. DeHoff is a local from Moab, Utah, and he’s rowed this stretch of the Colorado River, called Cataract Canyon in homage to its long series of vicious rapids, countless times. But he’s never rowed Gypsum before. That’s because until recently, this rapid wasn’t here. It’s only just fully resurfaced this month after being drowned for nearly half…

IT’S JUST PAST 11 A.M. on Christmas Eve, and Angimar leans forward in a blue, perforated metal chair to examine her toddler’s diaper. The boy has been tugging at his legging pants, and his walk is now more of a waddle. Along with most personal-hygiene products, diapers are in short supply. Within a few seconds, 28-year-old Angimar, who goes by Angi, makes a quick calculation, the kind that mothers of young children make hundreds of times each day. It’s time, she decides, for a new one. Angi asks Yenni, the eldest of five children whose ages range from two to nine, to retrieve a plastic cup that she’s stashed with their belongings. As Yenni jogs across the room, she passes a stretch of full-height windows that showcase oversize, twinkling…

THE MAVERICK RAMY YOUSSEF The creator and star of Ramy opens up about family, growing up Muslim, and his upcoming stand-up special BY ALAN SEPINWALL / PHOTOGRAPHS BY JUSTIN J WEE IN STAND-UP comedy, silence typically equals death. You tell a joke and the audience laughs? Great. You tell a joke and they groan? Well, at least they were interested enough to respond. Tell a joke and … nothing? You may have lost the room altogether. For Ramy Youssef, though, a joke greeted with silence allowed him to find his comedic voice, which has expanded beyond his stand-up to include creating and/or starring in a pair of acclaimed comedy series — Ramy on Hulu, Mo on Netflix — a juicy supporting role in Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things, and an…

In the coliseum, the bull stares down hundreds of men. He’s a half-ton killer, black, head white like a skull, horns curled. Bred for the fight. There’s violence in his DNA. The bull scans the crowd in the ring, alert to any challenge. The crowd watches for the animal’s slightest of movements. When the hundreds of men flee, they move in tandem, like a school of fish dodging a shark. The blazing tropical sun beats down on us all. From the crowd steps a man. Catalino Bravo wears the face of a clown, white paint over his black skin, a nose daubed red. Something’s crazed in his eyes. An entirely sane man would not yell at an enraged 600-pound bull that stands 30 feet in front of him. “Hey!…

Shogun NETWORK Hulu AIR DATE New episodes releasing every Tuesday STARRING Hiroyuki Sanada Cosmo Jarvis Anna Sawai Tadanobu Asano Shinnosuke Abe Fumi Nikaido ‘SHŌGUN’ IS FX’S ‘GAME OF THRONES’ Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks’ towering epic about a foreigner in feudal Japan is absolutely stunning JAMES CLAVELL’S epic historical novel Shōgun was first adapted for television back in 1980. It starred Richard Chamberlain as John Blackthorne, an English sailor who gets caught up in a Japanese civil war in the early 1600s, and Japanese-cinema legend Toshirô Mifune as Yoshi Toranaga, a feudal lord at odds with the rest of his country’s ruling class. This NBC version did not feature subtitles, so the Japanese dialogue was only translated in scenes where characters were interpreting for Blackthorne. The producers treated Clavell’s…
