Boys indoor track preview: Contenders look to clear last hurdle

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:03:49 GMT

Camren Allain had a dream season last winter and the Carver high jumper will be looking to better it this time around on the indoor circuit.After finishing second to Arlington’s Rowan McConkey at the Meet of Champions, Allain had his best day of the year at the Adidas Nationals. The lanky talent sailed over 6 feet, 8 inches for the win against a rock-solid field. Allain won’t have to contend with McConkey this time around, but there should be a strong field to challenge him. Saint John’s Antonio Wiafe was third at the Meet of Champions and Lucas Andrade of Brockton will almost certainly move up from his sixth-place finish.The infield should have plenty of drama in the 55 and 55-hurdles. Wellesley’s Christoper Brooks is the highest returnee in the dash after clinching the silver medal and Catholic Memorial’s Eric Perkins should also clinch a place in the final. The top-seven finishers at the Meet of Champions graduated, leaving Joseph Cook of Southeaster...

A vibrant art scene in Uganda mirrors African boom as more collectors show interest

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:03:49 GMT

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — Lilian Nabulime hasn’t forgotten the time in the 1990s when the Ugandan capital had just one commercial art gallery, a small space that emerging artists struggled to get into. Now, there are at least six in Kampala, including one whose curator recently exhibited the sculptor’s contrarian work.Nabulime’s show, which has attracted audiences for its conspiratorial take on the peculiarities of urban “gossip,” might never have happened if she hadn’t approached Xenson Art Space and asked for the opportunity to exhibit her work. Her work includes terracotta works topped with the deformed facial features of gossip bearers.“Nobody ever comes to me and says, ’Oh, can we show your work?” she said, sitting amid her sculptures. “For me, I just decided and said, ‘Let me go and exhibit my work.’ I asked for the exhibition, and they gave me the space.”Her solo show, which will last until Dec. 20, exemplifies an expanding artistic landscape that allows more room for local arti...

No room at the inn? As holidays approach, migrants face eviction from New York City shelters

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:03:49 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — It could be a cold, grim New Year for thousands of migrant families living in New York City’s emergency shelter system. With winter setting in, they are being told they need to clear out, with no guarantee they’ll be given a bed elsewhere.Homeless migrants and their children were limited to 60 days in city housing under an order issued in October by Mayor Eric Adams, a move the Democrat says is necessary to relieve a shelter system overwhelmed by asylum-seekers crossing the southern U.S. border.That clock is now ticking down for people like Karina Obando, a 38-year-old mother from Ecuador who has been given until Jan. 5 to get out of the former hotel where she has been staying with her two young children.Where she will end up next is unclear. After that date, she can reapply for admission to the shelter system. A placement might not happen right away. Her family could wind up getting sent to one of the city’s huge tent shelters far from where her 11-year-old so...

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — Cambodia has welcomed the announcement that New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art will return more than a dozen pieces of ancient artwork to Cambodia and Thailand that were tied to an art dealer and collector accused of running a huge antiquities trafficking network out of Southeast Asia.This most recent repatriation of artwork comes as many museums in the United States and Europe reckon with collections that contain objects looted from Asia, Africa and other places during centuries of colonialism or in times of upheaval.Fourteen Khmer sculptures will be returned to Cambodia and two will be returned to Thailand, the Manhattan museum announced Friday, though no specific timeline was given.“We appreciate this first step in the right direction,” said a statement issued by Cambodia’s Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts. “We look forward to further returns and acknowledgements of the truth regarding our lost national treasures, taken from Cambodia in the time of...
