Nigeria's Looty seeks to reclaim African art in digital form
Nigerian novelist Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani writes about a new initiative to reclaim artwork looted from Africa by colonial powers. ABUJA — What if Africans somehow managed to access museums across the Western world, gather all the artwork looted from their territories during the colonial era, and take them back home?A young Nigerian man is attempting to do just that. But rather than physically breaking into museums and carting away the works of art, he wants to repatriate them digitally."This is the first digital repatriation of stolen artwork," said 34-year-old Chidi, a Nigerian creative designer and founder of Looty, who declined to give his surname because, he said, he wants people to focus on his project and not his person."I had this idea that: Why don't we take...

Award-winning actor Rasika Dugal.
Streaming is driving a 'golden age' for Indian drama
MUMBAI — Award-winning actor, Rasika Dugal, has never had more work, or been recognized more often.The Indian actor's star is rising — she will soon be seen in the second season of drama, Delhi Crime on Netflix and in the film, Lord Curzon Ki Haveli. She is also currently working on an unnamed TV series.But it hasn't always been this way. Like many actors, her early years in the industry were tough and frustrating.

LONDON — Pink Floyd have reunited to record their first new material in 28 years, a protest song against the Ukraine war.Hey Hey, Rise Up! features David Gilmour and Nick Mason alongside long-time Floyd bassist Guy Pratt and Nitin Sawhney on keyboards.But the song is built around a spine-tingling refrain from Ukrainian singer Andriy Khlyvnyuk of the band Boombox.Gilmour says the song is a show of "anger at a superpower invading a peaceful nation".But it is also intended as a morale booster for the people of Ukraine, and a call "for peace".Work on the song began a couple of weeks ago, when Gilmour was shown Khlyvnyuk's Instagram feed. The singer had posted footage of himself in in Kyiv's Sofiyskaya Square, fully armed and ready to fight the Russian...

'Stolen' Charles Darwin notebooks mysteriously returned
CAMBRIDGE — Two "stolen" notebooks written by Charles Darwin have been mysteriously returned to Cambridge University, 22 years after they were last seen.The small leather-bound books are worth many millions of pounds and include the scientist's "tree of life" sketch.Their return comes 15 months after the BBC first highlighted they had gone missing and the library launched a worldwide appeal to find them."I feel joyous," the university's librarian Dr Jessica Gardner says.She grins broadly as she breaks the news.

They were left anonymously in a bright pink gift bag...
