Detained migrants' trash inspires US janitor's art
LOS ANGELES — During a decade as a janitor at a US border station, Tom Kiefer gathered the trash left behind by thousands of undocumented immigrants, piecing together the histories of those who arrived seeking a better life.Everyday objects from clothes, medicine and toys to handwritten letters were confiscated by officials as dangerous or "non-essential" items, leaving photography student Kiefer to sift through fragments of their owners' struggles."El Sueno Americano/The American Dream", at Los Angeles's Skirball Cultural Center through March, displays more than 100 photographs of these remnants, which the artist collected in secret at the Ajo, Arizona station between 2003 and 2014.From a distance, many of the works look like abstract modern art, but peer...

Harvey Weinstein's 'forgotten man' comments anger accusers
NEW YORK — Harvey Weinstein's accusers hit back at the disgraced Hollywood mogul on Monday after he complained that the world had forgotten how he "pioneered" women-led films following dozens of sex-crime allegations.The once powerful producer, whose case sparked the #MeToo movement, gave a rare interview just three weeks before the start of a criminal trial that could see him jailed for life.Weinstein, 67, told the New York Post tabloid, speaking in a hospital following a back operation, that he felt "like the forgotten man.""I made more movies directed by women and about women than any filmmaker and I'm talking about 30 years ago," said the producer of "Shakespeare in Love" and "Pulp Fiction.""I'm not talking about now...

PARIS —The director of a French theater has resigned the day after his staff went on strike urging him to quit over the fallout from a rape allegation.Jean-Pierre Baro, the first major theater figure to be hit by the #MeToo movement in France, denied assaulting a colleague in 2011 and police dropped the case for lack of proof.Baro, one of the few black men at the head of a French cultural institution, made his name with a stage adaptation of JM Coetzee's novel "Disgrace" about a South African university professor accused of sexually harassing a student.A formal complaint for rape was made last year shortly after he was chosen to head the Theatre des Quartiers d'Ivry on the southeastern edge of Paris."My conscience is clear," Baro said after stepping down on...

JAKARTA — An Indonesian cave painting that depicts a prehistoric hunting scene could be the world's oldest figurative artwork dating back nearly 44,000 years, a discovery that points to an advanced artistic culture, according to new research.Spotted two years ago on the island of Sulawesi, the 4.5 meter (13 foot) wide painting features wild animals being chased by half-human hunters wielding what appear to be spears and ropes, said the study published in the journal Nature on Wednesday.Using dating technology, the team at Australia's Griffith University said it had confirmed that the limestone cave painting dated back at least 43,900 years during the Upper Palaeolithic period."This hunting scene is — to our knowledge — currently the oldest pictorial record of...
