ENGLISCH LERNEN IST EIN WITZ?
Ja, mit diesem Spiel, in dem die Spieler Witze,
Reime, Zungenbrecher und lustige Zitate zum
Besten geben. Und da Spielen ja eine ernste
Angelegenheit ist, versuchen alle sich das
Lachen zu verkneifen, denn das gibt Extrapunkte.
Für 3 – 8 Spieler ab 12 Jahren. Mit 400 Witzen,
Zungenbrechern und Reimen, 252 Kärtchen
mit 504 Vokabeln und 1 Spielanleitung mitausführlichem Vokabelteil.

Every one has their own ideas about the
best ways to learn a second language. There
are some fascinating general theories on this
topic, too. One is the idea that once you start
thinking in a foreign language, you have really
begun to master it. But is this true? We spoke to Dr Aneta Pavlenko, professor
for applied linguistics at Temple University, Philadelphia. Her answer was un-
expected. The interview begins on page 30.
Memories brought back by flavours can be intensely evocative. So what
happens when you start a new life far away from home and become detached
from the culinary traditions of your past? In “Memories on a plate”, we talk to
people who have experienced just that. Which dishes do they miss and how
have they adapted to the food of their new homeland? We serve up their sto-
ries on page 20.
Over the past 15 years, a thriving art scene has developed in Downtown
Los Angeles. Changes in the city planning laws have made the area affordable
for artists and the results are eye-popping artworks. Join us on a tour of the
downtown district. “Art at the heart of LA” begins on page 14.

language learning

PEOPLE | Names and Faces
In the news
The playwright
This month, people everywhere are rememberingWilliam Shakespeare, who died 400 years ago on23 April 1616 at the age of 52. He is considered by
many to be the greatest writer in the English language.But we don’t know a lot about his life.
We do know that he was baptized on 26 April 1564in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. He grew up there andprobably went to King’s New School. When he was 18, he
New Zealand rugby star Sonny Bill Williams visited Syrianrefugee camps in Lebanon with UNICEF. When he re-
turned home, he posted graphic images of dead chil-
dren on Twitter, where he has more than half a mil-
lion followers, and wrote, “What did these children
do to deserve this? This summer share a thought
for the innocent lives lost everyday in war.” Now,
UNICEF spokesman Patrick Rose has toldThe New
Zealand Herald that this was a bad idea. “We
see it as a fundamental infringement
of those children’s rights,” said
Rose. “I don’t think anyone would
be happy about those kinds
of images. It certainly wasn’t
something that he consulted
us about and they weren’t
images that he’d taken on the
trip.” About 1.2 million Syrian
refugees live in Lebanon.
Some heterosexual men
would think it of it as an in-
sult if you called them gay.
Not English singer JamesBlunt. He told the BBC, “Ising songs that aren’t very
macho, and so people will say,
‘Oh, you’re effeminate,’ or
‘gay’, as if calling me gay were
an insult. But to call me gay is a
compliment.” The 41-year-oldsays his time with the military
helped him to become more
sensitive. He had to go out and find the enemy, so he had to be ver y
aware of what was going on around him. He now uses this sensi-
tivity to charm female fans. “If I’d bee n macho, I’d just have had an
audience full of men. By singing the songs I have, I have an audi-
ence full of women, and I’m happier that way.” Blunt and his wife,
Sofia, are expecting their first baby this year.

married Anne Hathaway, who was then 26. Teyhad three children, a girl called Susanna and twinsnamed Judith and Hamnet. Te boy, however,died at the age of 11.
Between 1585 and 1590, Shakespeare started writing and moved to London. A few years later,
he began performing with a theatre group calledthe Lord Chamberlain’s Men. Ten, in 1599, hehelped to finance one of London’s first theatres, theGlobe. Te theatre burnt down in the 1600s, but acopy of it — called Shakespeare’s Globe — openedin 1997 in London and Shakespeare’s plays contin-ue to be performed there today.
Te playwright wrote at least 37 plays and 154sonnets, and contributed more than 3,000 new words and phrases to the English language. Hebecame rich and successful. In 1610, Shakespearemoved back to Stratford-upon-Avon, where hedied six years later of unknown causes.
On the weekend of 23–24 April, Shakespeare’sGlobe will be showing 37 short films about the play- wright at pop-up cinemas along the Tames in London.Find out more at www.shakespearesglobe.com

The newcomer
Happy birthday!
• Name: Daria Gavrilova
• Age: 22
• From: She was born in Russia but lives in Melbourne,
Australia.
• Known as: A professional tennis player
• Background: Gavrilova won the Youth Olympic Games
and US Open in 2010 and had a junior ranking of world
number one. She has also won four singles and two
doubles International Tennis Federation titles.
• Biggest success: Last year, she beat former world
number one players Maria Sharapova and Ana Ivanovic.
• Where you will see her: In this year’s Grand Slam
tournaments, which include the French Open, Wimble-
don and the US Open.
Elizabeth II became queen because her uncle had abdi-
cated and her parents didn’t have a son. She is the long-
est-reigning female monarch in history.
Elizabeth grew up as a member of the royal family.
During the Second World War, she joined the Auxiliar y
Territorial Service as a driver and mechanic.
The princess fell in love with her distant cousin
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. They married in 1947
and had four children. In 1952, Elizabeth’s father
died and she became queen.
When the marriage of her son Prince
Charles to his first wife, Diana, broke down
in the 1990s, the royal family received a lot
of negative press. Elizabeth worked to im-
prove her family’s image. She began pay-
ing income tax and opened Buckingham
Palace to the public.
Elizabeth doesn’t plan to abdicate, but
will take part in fewer official events in fu-
ture. She will celebrate her 90th birthday
on 21 April — the official celebrations will
take place in June.

Out of the ordinary
Brian Tagalog became a certified tat-too artist when he was only 16 years old.
However, he found it impossible to get a
job. That wasn’t because he was young or
because he wasn’t good. It was because
he didn’t have any arms. Tagalog, 27, was
born without them. But that didn’t stop
him from doing all the things he wanted to
do. He can drive a car, fly an airplane anddo complicated tattoos — using his feet.
Originally from Hawaii, he now has his own
tattoo shop, called Tattoo by Foot, in Tuc-
son, Arizona. He told Aztec Pres s , “I was
born without arms. But that has not slowed
me down.” He hopes his story will help oth-
ers to believe they can do anything. “Go for
it, and never give up,” he said. “Anything is
possible for everyone.”
Luke Robertson has become theyoungest Briton and first Scot to make
a solo journey across Antarctica. The
30-year-old from Aberdeenshire spent 40
days pulling 130 kilograms of equipment
across 1,175 kilometres of ice. He burnt
more than 10,000 calories a day in temper-
atures as low as -50 °C and 100 mph winds.
Robertson is giving the money raised fromthe expedition — more than £45,000 — to
the charity Marie Curie, which helps people
with terminal illnesses. The man nicknamed
“Luke Snowwalker” celebrated the end of
his walk in January with a pizza.
“Is it a boy or a girl?” is usually our first
question about a new baby. But KathyWitterick and David Stocker don’tanswer this question about their child,
Storm. The couple from Toronto, Canada,
have kept Storm’s gender secret. They don’t
want the child to have to conform to gen-
der stereotypes. “If you want to get to know
someone, you don’t ask what’s between
their legs,” Stocker told the Toronto Star .

A DAY IN MY LIFE | India
M y name is Srimoyi Bhattacharya. I’m 42 years
old, and I’m managing director of Peepul Con-sulting, a boutique public relations firm in Mum-
bai, India. I was born in Paris and grew up in Montmar-tre, where I started working in PR. Ten I moved to New York and worked with a wonderful hotel group, after which I started my own company in 2006. I moved toIndia in 2008 to set up an extension of the company. Wenow have 22 people in our Mumbai office, seven in Del-hi, in addition to several consultants.
A typical day for me starts early with my daughter —at 7 a.m., when she goes to school. After that, we all start
reading newspapers, tracking social media and the marketand sharing industry news. For us, the mornings are allabout knowledge, information, trends and sharing those with our clients. After that, we have client meetings.
We are known as an advisory agency in marketing,branding and PR, specifically in luxury lifestyle and fash-ion, which is my personal passion, as well. We have inter-national and local clients, marquee brands like Lancôme,Kiehl’s, Forevermark Diamonds, which is a De Beerscompany, and Swarovski. Last year was fun for us because we launched H&M in India. Our local clients include amulti-designer store in Mumbai called Ensemble, which
we’ve been representing for five years.
We take great pride in
working with Indianluxury brands that aregoing international, such asthe famous designer ManishMalhotra or Good Earth, an es-tablished design house that hasturned Indian craft into a con-temporary design language. Oneof my first clients when I movedto India was Hidesign, which islike the American brand Coach
in India. It’s a huge 35-year-oldbrand, and a case study of theevolution of retail in India with the rise and importanceof e-commerce.

khadi
In India, “khadi” is not only a popular handmade
cloth produced from cotton combined with some
silk or wool; it is also a metaphor for an independent,
postcolonial India. This is thanks to the world-famous
activist and politician Mahatma Gandhi (1869–1948),
who promoted the idea of Indians making khadi and
selling it to one another — as opposed to the British
colonials buying up the khadi produced domestically,
exporting it to Britain, then sending it back to India as
clothing to be sold to local people at high prices. The
“khadi movement” was one aspect of Gandhi’s work to
free India from colonial oppression.
big metroThe informal expression “big metro” as used in the text
means a “large metropolitan area”. Paris, London andNew York qualify as such, as does, of course, Mumbai.
The port city in the west of India is known to be the
country’s most populous, with more than 20 millionpeople living in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Until
1995, the city was known as Bombay; it shed this name
as part of a movement across the country to return to
Indian place names after independence from Britain
was achieved in 1947. India first came under British
influence in 1661.
My big baby this year is a new clothing label calledthe Orient Line that I created with a friend, the talentedprofessional designer Megan Ryley. She is a New Yorkernow based in India. One day, we were having a glass of wine and complaining that we had nothing to wear when we got home before getting into our pyjamas. A year later,the line was available. Te clothes are comfortable and
stylish, made with 100 per cent cotton, linen and khadifabrics at a factory that’s highly ethical. We’re big pro-ponents of khadi, which also helps the “Made in India”brand. My favourite pieces from the label are the Robinand Magnolia dresses.
As a team, we really believe in a good quality of life.
People leave on time from work. I go back home by 6 p.m.and try to spend time with my daughter. Public relationsis the best profession to have in Mumbai. It is a very pro-fessional city. People come for meetings on time; peoplepay us on time. Clients view us as partners, as an exten-sion of their families.
We work in a very personal way and I feel India reallythrives on that. I’ve always lived in big metros and I’vechosen Mumbai because I want that quality of life. oday,I have the privilege of having a car with a driver and a staffthat runs my home and helps me focus on my family and work. It is an ecosystem of support that I couldn’t haveanywhere else in the world and that is very important tome.
marquee brand
In British English, a “marquee” is a tent used
for an event or for selling things. In North
American English, it refers to a small
roof commonly seen over the door of
a hotel, for example, or a theatre. This
second definition helped to give rise to
the business English term “marqueebrand”, as the names of famous actors
are presented on the marquee over
the entrance to a theatre or cinema.
A “marquee brand” is a prominent
product or product line, one that
people know and follow.
Read the sentences below for
examples of how this expression has been used in
the American press recently:
a) “And while the Porsche brand, a division of
Volkswagen, is one of the marquee brands in the
traditional sports car world, it isn’t a complete
stranger to electrification.” —The New York Times
b) “Ballast Point was founded in 1996, and — fueled
by the popularity of brews such as Sculpin IPA and
Victory at Sea — grew into a marquee craft beer
brand.” —The LA Times

UNITED STATES Te Midwestern me-tropolis of Kansas City, Missouri, is known for its finebarbecue. Now, it is famous for fine art, too: Research-ers have proclaimed a painting in storage at the Nelson- Atkins Museum of Art there to be the work of the DutchRenaissance master Hieronymus Bosch. Te finding is well-timed: 2016 marks the 500th anniversary of the art-
ist’s death.Te painting in question, Te emptation of St. An-
thony , was long considered to be a product of Bosch’sstudents or followers. Te New York imes reports that acareful comparison was made “on a microscopic level” ofthe artwork’s details with paintings known definitively tobe by Bosch. Te results have led experts to rule that St. Anthony was, in fact, from the hand of the master himself.
Te painting is now part of the exhibition “Jheroni-mus Bosch: Visions of Genius”, being shown until May 8at the Noordbrabants Museum in ’s-Hertogenbosch, theNetherlands — the birthplace of Bosch, whose pseudo-nym derives from the city’s name. Some 20 paintings and19 drawings are being exhibited. Worldwide, there areonly about 25 paintings known to be by Bosch. See http:// boschexpo.hetnoordbrabantsmuseum.nl/en
INDIA It was supposed to be a day like anyother: three teenagers stopped on Mahim Bay in Mumbai
to take a selfie. They held up a phone, changed position
to get the best shot of themselves and then it happened:
they lost their footing and fell into the sea. One of them,an 18-year-old named Tarannum Ansari, drowned — as
did Ramesh Walunj, the man who saved her two friends.
It is a type of tragedy that the authorities have come toknow all too well.
In response to the problem, police have now desig-nated at least 16 areas in the Indian megacity as “no-selfiezones”. These include many places popular with tourists,
such as the Marine Drive promenade, Girgaum Chowpatty
beach, Sion Fort and Worli Fort. Also included are severalwell-known festival sites.
Last autumn, the BBC reported that a visitor from
Japan died from a fall down some stairs at the Taj Mahalduring an attempt to take a selfie. Other countries, such
as Spain and Russia, have also begun campaigns to warn
tourists to exercise caution when taking photographs ofthemselves. According to The Telegraph , more people
lost their lives in 2015 taking selfies than in shark attacks. F o t o s : G e t t y I m a g e s ; p u b l i c d o m a i n

God bless America:
a work of “manscaping”
on the Idaho news
ST HELENA “Slow and steady wins the race.” If
Jonathan the tortoise could speak, he might try these words onfor size. The well-known expression — also the moral of the fable
of the tortoise and the hare — is a good description of the world’s
oldest animal, now 183 years old and at home on the island of
St Helena in the South Atlantic since arriving there in 1882.“Jonathan has become almost completely blind due to cat-
aracts and has lost his sense of smell,” Dr Joe Hollins, the islandveterinarian, told the Daily Mail . “I changed his diet and started to
give him a mixed bowl of fruit and vegetables like apples, carrots,
lettuce, guavas and bananas which are very high in calories. … Thelife expectancy of a giant tortoise is 150, but there is no reason
why Jonathan won’t still be here after we have all gone.”
St Helena, part of a British overseas territory, is located 2,000kilometres west of Africa and has a population of 4,500. For more
on the 16-by-8 kilometre island, see Spotlight 8/10, pages 22–25.
UNITED STATES Mike Wolfe of Nam-pa, Idaho, is a hairy man. A few years ago, he decided toexpress his love of country (see American Life, page 67) using the hirsute qualities that God gave him: He askedhis friend, graphic artist yler Harding, to shave an Amer-ican flag on his back. Te result inspired them, so theygave it a title that references a well-known patriotic song:“Am-hair-ica the beautiful.”
“Everybody always makes fun of the guy with backhair,” 35-year-old Wolfe told the New York Daily News .“Well now it’s my turn to shine, right?”
Jonathan lives on
Only in Ame-hair-icaTe work of manscaping inspired Wolfe and Harding
to even greater heights of artistic achievement: Now theyproduce a calendar with photos of different back-hair mo-tifs, a new one for every month. Te result? Te 2016“Calend-hair,” which sells for $20 — or $30 for interna-tional customers. Proceeds go to charity. January shows Wolfe’s back hair shaved into the shape of two champagneglasses; for July, it’s the old red, white and blue again —albeit in black.
“It’s disgusting. But it’s funny,” Wolfe said. “You can’tdeny it’s funny.”

What’s hot
NEW ZEALAND
Some sheep don’t need to be toldto fight crime — they just do it.Tat’s what police in the smallresort area of Queenstown, NewZealand, discovered after thievesled them on a 90-minute car chasethrough the countryside.
Te sheep, about 150 of them,stepped out on to the road at ex -actly the right moment, forcingthe criminals to come to a suddenhalt. None of sheep were harmed,and police were immediately ableto make arrests.
BRITAIN What would Henry VIII say? The very palace from whichthe king announced his split from Rome has recently held its first Roman Catholic
service in nearly 500 years. The British press say the move would have the king “spin-
ning in his grave”.The English monarch (1491–1547) caused an international uproar when he de-
cided in the 1530s to exit the Catholic Church and make himself head of the Church
of England. Hampton Court Palace, located south-west of London, was where hewrote to the pope to announce his decision, a change
that allowed him to divorce his first wife, Catherine
of Aragon, to marry Anne Boleyn. This marked thestart of a series of unsuccessful attempts on Henry’s
part to produce a male heir to the British throne. Two
of his queens were executed in the process.The service at Hampton Court’s Chapel Royal was
led by Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Britain’s most senior
Catholic, and Richard Chartres, the Anglican bishopof London. “Dialogue between faiths is much needed
and welcomed in these turbulent times,” John Stud-
zinski of the Genesis Foundation, which organizedthe service, told the Daily Mail . “We need to recog-
nize that we have more in common than not.”

Shell beachesAUSTRALIA Very few
beaches are made up entirely of
shells. One of the most famous is
Western Australia’s Shell Beach, 110
kilometres long, 10 metres wide
and covered in cockle shells of the
Fragum erugatum species. The beach
is located in the UNESCO-protected
Shark Bay region (see Spotlight 7/12,
pages 30–35).
How did so many shells of this
one type of mollusc land on a bay of
the Indian Ocean? The waters here
are extremely salty, creating an en-
vironment that the cockles like. The
little creatures have lived and died
here in huge numbers over the years,
leaving their bright white shells be-
hind to create the unusual beach.
As “Atlas Obscura” in Slate mag-
azine reports, the area’s high salin-
ity makes the bay unpopular with
sharks, which naturally makes it a
good place for people to take a swim.
The sheep that fight crime
“I couldn’t help laughing,” said
Che Baker, a journalist for FairfaxMedia New Zealand. “Te farmerherding them just kept doing his job as if nothing had happenedand the sheep weren’t worriedby the fuss at all — they carriedon normally and weren’t awarethey had become duty police thatmorning.”
Unsurprisingly, the sheep dohave a law-enforcement connec-tion. As Te Guardian reports, theflock is owned by a local police-man.

Britain Today | COLIN BEAVEN
4|16 Spotlight 13
Colin Beaven is a freelancewriter who livesand works in
Southamptonon the southcoast of England.
Live now, pay later?Letztes Jahr wurde in Großbritannien ein Gesetz geändert,
sodass Rentner jetzt Geld ausgeben können,
das zuvor an eine Rente gebunden war.
What should old people do with their money? Teycould follow the exampleof America’s very rich. Bill Gateshas given away most of his moneyto help with the fight against polio. And now that Mark Zuckerberg’s be-come a father, he’s done somethingquite similar.
We don’t have the same traditionof philanthropy here, though theBritish do give staggering amounts ofmoney to charity. elevision eventslike Red Nose Day and Children inNeed bring in millions.
Still, there are worries that old-er people in Britain won’t be givingtheir money to good causes — be-cause they’ll have spent it all. Tey’llpay off debts, buy a new car or go onholiday abroad as ways of using theirextra cash.
Extra? Why extra? Te govern-ment’s changed the rules; before April 2015, many people had to usethe money in their pension pot tobuy an annuity.
Now, however, they can do whatthey like with the money they’vesaved. Is there a danger they’ll betempted to spend it all, leaving thempenniless in their retirement? Te
government says “no”. It says it truststhem. Perhaps the government’s wrong.
When you tempt people withmoney, they want it. Te govern-ment’s the same way. If you do takemoney from your pension pot, thegovernment takes 20 per cent first. Ifyou take a large amount, it takes upto 40 per cent. Tat’s income tax.
Ten, if you don’t spend it by thetime you die, the government takes
40 per cent. Tat’s inheritance tax.
It may not be very logical, butthis is why people are in such a hur-ry to spend their money. Apart fromthe fact that they can’t take it withthem, people hate the idea that thegovernment will get its hands on it.
In fact, you only have to pay in-heritance tax if you leave more than£325,000, so it’s a lovely problem tohave. Most people don’t have thatmuch to leave.
In any case, is 40 per cent toomuch to ask? Perhaps. But remem-ber, this is money you already paidtax on when you earned it — unlessyou have a very clever accountant.
Maybe 50 per cent would actual-ly be fairer. Tat’s called sharing: onefor you and one for the state. Halfeach. Or what about 100 per cent?Tat would make Bill Gates andMark Zuckerberg seem rather mean.
Perhaps inheritance tax ought tobe variable: 100 per cent for wealthypeople who’ve behaved badly and lessthan 50 per cent if they’re kind-heart-ed sorts who help old ladies acrossthe road.
Who would decide, though? A jury would be best — not theold-fashioned kind they have incourts of law.
No, I’m thinking that we havethe perfect format here for a new
V show, with a panel of experts anda phone-in so that members of thepublic can vote. It’s what we’re used tofrom Strictly Come Dancing. It couldbe called Strictly Come Financing.
Of course, a maximum tax rate of100 per cent may seem quite high.But it still wouldn’t be high enoughto deal with someone like Donaldrump.

Palm trees wave on the horizon. Over a busy freeway,the sun sets, its rays of light bouncing off a clusterof high-rise buildings. I am among a dozen students,hipsters, and tourists observing this typical Los Angelesscene. We’re not enjoying a view of the city, however. We’re looking at a giant mural in its oldest neighborhood,Downtown Los Angeles (DLA). Tis is one of hundredsof murals that have been painted here since a 10-year ban on street art was lifted in 2013.
“You can walk the streets every day and see somethingdifferent,” says our tour guide, Galo Canote, a street artistnative to the city. “Murals get tagged and whitewashed and replaced all the time. Our street art is constantlytransforming.”

can include the initials of the artist or the artist’s crew, as
well as subtle or cryptic messages. If you “tag” something,
you write your signature on it, normally using spray

can be found all over DTLA — on walls, doors, sidewalks,
telephone poles, and even vehicles.

Mural art is undergoing a kind of transformation,but so is the neighborhood as a whole. Founded in 1781,DLA was once the heart of the city, a center of activity where residents went to bank, shop, and be entertained.However, following World War II, people moved to thesuburbs. DLA’s population became largely transient,made up of those who came here to work during the dayand who left in the evening.
Ten in 1999, officials passed an ordinance that madeit easier for developers to convert commercial buildingsinto lofts and apartments — and the multimillion-dollarStaples Center arena opened. Since then, DLA’s residen-tial population has almost doubled, to more than 50,000,and the area has reclaimed its reputation as a cultural hotspot.
One of the greatest beneficiaries of these developmentshas been the art community, which has seen affordablespaces become available, dozens of galleries open, and artlovers move in. Nathan Cartwright is the owner and cura-tor of the Hive Gallery & Studios, one of the biggest andmost popular galleries in DLA. Originally from Colum-bus, Ohio, he moved here in 2001 and opened the gallerythree years later. At that time, the streets were a no-go areaby night. “Tere was a lot of homelessness, a lot of crime,”says Cartwright. “We called it ‘the Zombielands.’”
onight, however, the streets are filled with youngprofessionals, many of them attracted to the Hive by ashow that features fantasy-driven sculptures by about 20artists. I am enthralled by a set piece called Hollow Temple ,
from the upcoming fantasy film Yamasong: March of theHollows , and a unicorn on rockers. Further inside are thestudios where about 40 resident artists exhibit and work,
although they live elsewhere. “I like the idea of Mecca,”says Cartwright, “this place where all different types ofartists and people collide and connect.”
Cartwright’s favorite DLA gallery is the Last Book-store, just a few blocks away. I wander over and, as I walkthrough the door, I feel like I’m stepping into the pagesof a Harry Potter story. Books appear to fly off the shelvesand sheets of paper soar out of an old-fashioned type- writer. Tis is just one of the surprising art installations inthis two-story historic building, which is filled with about200,000 books, mostly old or even antique.

Skid Row is an area in DTLA that has one of the country’s
biggest concentrations of homeless people (see Spotlight
6/15, pages 20–25). The term “skid row” can refer to any
area of a city frequented by vagrants, alcoholics, and
drug addicts. It originated as a logging term, for people
who helped transport logs down hills and then had to
wait for transportation back up the hill. It later became a
term for places frequented by people with no money and
nothing to do.

tracts about 15,000 visitors. “Te art is what keeps peoplecoming back,” says Qathryn Brehm, the DLA Art Walkexecutive director and an established artist. “You can comehere to eat and drink, but the art is that third componentthat really adds the magic.”
Brehm was one of the artists who helped pave the way for DLA’s cultural renaissance. She came here in the late
1970s, when artists were moving into the many buildingsleft empty by failed businesses, and converting them intostudios where they lived and worked. Tis practice wasmade legal in 1981, when the city passed an “Artist inResidence” (AIR) ordinance, allowing the residential useof buildings once zoned for industrial or commercial use.
As a result, one sub-neighborhood of DLA in par-ticular, the Arts District, thrived. It developed a vibrant artists’ community, complete with galleries, cafes, andperformance venues. However, in recent years, this areahas become gentrified and rents have climbed. Brehm, who has lived in the Arts District since 1985, says, “Teartists are always the first to break ground. Tey make anarea safer and more interesting. Others follow and soonthe artists are squeezed out. Most artists can’t afford to livein the Arts District anymore. So where do they go?”
Some of them go to the Brewery Art Colony, which isa few miles northeast of the Arts District, in the neighbor-hood of Lincoln Heights. Located on a 27-acre site that was developed at the end of the 19th century and home toa power plant and later a brewery, it became a residentialproperty for artists following the AIR ordinance. oday,it has 13 buildings with 330 studios and lofts with 500artists — making it one of the biggest artists’ colonies inthe world. Te Brewery is open to the public twice a yearfor the Brewery Artwalk. Lucky for me, Andre Miripolskyhas offered to take me on a private tour.

sculptures and art supplies. Miripolsky, who has calledthe Brewery home for 20 years, says the best thing aboutliving there is the access he has to other artists, materials,and resources. “It expands the limits of what I can do,” hesays. Since 2005, he has been working with city officials,painting murals in DLA and nearby neighborhoods, in-cluding one that covers an entire building, the School of
Arts and Enterprise in Pomona. He calls this his proudestachievement.
While Miripolsky’s art is displayed on the buildingsof DLA, another artist at the Brewery, eale Hatheway,has been using those same buildings as inspiration forher work. Hatheway, a fifth-generation Angelino, goeson “photo safaris,” climbing up inside DLA’s empty oldbuildings — although their numbers are now declining —to photograph the details high above the streets. “Our ar-chitectural history is a hodgepodge of different cultures,”says Hatheway. “We kind of swiped things from every- where and squished them together, especially in theaters. You can see the Moroccan paired with the baroque paired with the rococo. It’s unlike anything else.”
Hatheway incorporates elements of buildings into her works to “paint ideas of places.” Recently, she has been working with streetlights, too. “LA has the most street-light designs of any city in the country, some say the world… I think of them as just standing there, watch-ing the traffic go by, watching the people pass, and there’ssomething about that endurance that is soulful to me.”
Hatheway dreams of exhibiting her work at the Broad,a $140-million contemporary art museum that opened inDLA last September. Te Broad houses the art collectionof philanthropists Eli and Edythe Broad — nearly 2,000 works by 200 artists. On a visit, I walk from one room tothe next, looking at the famous works of such greats as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Keith Haring. TenI follow other visitors to see the Infinity Mirrored Room,a temporary installation by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama.It uses mirrors, lights, and water to create a fantastic illu-sion. Each visitor gets 45 seconds inside — alone.
Te door closes behind me, and I’m standing at thecenter of the universe, with my image reflected a seem-ingly infinite number of times. Te door opens again.
My time is up and I step outside. I may not be at thecenter of the universe anymore, but I do feel like I’m atthe center of a new world of art. And that’s an excitingplace to be.

FOOD | International
Food is one of the great pleasures of travel. Whetherin restaurants, on the street, at market stalls or inshops, discovering new tastes is a way of understand-ing different countries and cultures. Every year, some
600,000 people come to live in the UK. Te reasons formaking the journey are various: study,training, sport, arts, employment,family, refuge and asylum. oday,around 8.3 million people, or13 per cent of the nation’s pop-ulation, were born outside theUK. ogether, they representan international atlas of culinarytaste and cuisine. Food is a globallanguage. And it’s something thatmany people begin to get to know
on their first day in a new country.
“I arrived in the UK three days before my 16th birth-day,” says 22-year-old Bashdar Saleh, who madethe long and difficult journey alone as an
asylum seeker from Kurdistan in thenorth of Iraq. “My first meals were
mainly pizza and takeaway. I eatmore healthily now!” he says,as he sips a coffee in a Portu-guese cafe in Ipswich, East Anglia. Nearby is a urkishrestaurant, Polish delicates-sen, Asian food store and
Chinese takeaway.

Mira Santana,39, also lives in Ip-swich. She knowsPortuguese cuisine well — she grewup in Angola, south- west Africa, which is a
former Portuguese colo-ny. Like Bashdar, she left herhome country aged just 15, to starta new life in Portugal. In 2003, she moved to the UK withher two young daughters. Did they eat takeaways whenthey first arrived? “No, never,” she says with a big smile.“I wanted to cook and eat Angolan and Portuguese food.Especially dishes like funge (a polenta-like porridge madefrom cassava flour) and bacalhau (salted cod).”
It wasn’t easy back then to find all the ingredients thatshe needed. oday, there are several stores in town sell-ing them. Sometimes, however, Mira still has to adapttraditional recipes. “In Angola, we use a green vegetablecalled gimboa , but here in England, we have to use spin-ach, which is similar but not the same.”
Tings were even more different when Leela Smithfirst arrived in Britain. Born in Singapore to Sri Lankanparents, she lived in Malaysia and Sri Lanka before trav-elling to England in 1979. “At that time, people werenot familiar with Asian food and it was not so popular,”recalls the 82-year-old, as she pulls a plate of hot, spicybhaji and samosas from the oven.
Leela had one advantage over other arrivals to the UKat the time. Her father, a doctor, had sent young Leelato a local convent to learn about English food and eti-quette. British meals were considered a healthy alternative
to Asian dishes full of fattyghee and coconut milk. She
enjoyed the different and seem-ingly exotic taste of English food.
After arriving in England, Leela continued herculinary education by starting work in the hotel indus-
try. “I had to go to college to learn cooking for the cater-ing industry,” she says. “I had to don the chef’s clothes, with hat on, and I was 45 years old! But I learned how tocook English food properly, and also nutrition and hy-giene and things like that.”
While the European food tradition is largely basedupon pairing foods that share flavours, Asian cookingtends to do the opposite. Te fivemain tastes of sweet, sour, salty,bitter and umami are ac-cepted globally. Never-theless, influenced byenvironment, cul-ture and tradition,national tastes stilldiffer.
Like manymigrants, Leelalearned to adapther culinary skillsto suit her guests,cooking rich, spicycurries for her Asianfriends and English foodfor her English husband andfriends. Trough the years, she hasseen tastes evolve, so that most of her English friends nowenjoy a curry. Her favourite Asian meal is chicken curryand rice, while she particularly likes traditional Britishroast beef, roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. ea isnot on the menu, however.
Bashdar adapted quickly to British cuisine, too, andhas developed a great affection for English roast dinners,
which he calls “Sunday food”. He also enjoys chicken with rice, beans and okra, although his big favourite aredolmas, fresh vine leaves stuffed with rice, meat, herbsand garlic. He’s not a fan of English tea either, preferringurkish coffee.
Bashdar is a keen footballer and plays for a local team.So he tries hard to eat healthily. What about snack food?“Oh, I love British crisps,” he admits, “especially chilliflavour. And I really like popcorn, sweet popcorn.” HisEnglish remains rudimentary, but food is one area wherehis vocabulary has grown.
Mira initially found both the English language and
British food difficult. She survived on meals of rice,

chicken, pasta and potatoes.oday, she still cooks main-ly Angolan or Portuguesefood at home. How-ever, thanks to her twodaughters, Flora, 15,and Flavia, 14, she is
enjoying a wider rangeof cuisine. “My daugh-ters like an Englishbreakfast: beans, bacon,eggs. We eat much morebacon now,” says Mira. “AndFlavia cooked banana pancakesthe other day. Although I have no idea where she got therecipe from!”
akeaways have also become a family treat. “Te girlssay, ‘Come on, Mum!’ So we sometimes have fish andchips — that’s the number one. But also Chinese. Chick -en chow mein is a favourite. And with Indian food, Ithink it’s chicken tikka masala? My daughters teach me!”she says with a laugh.
Mira has witnessed the range of international cui-sine available in British shops expand enormously overthe past 13 years. She works as a cleaner, and oven-readymeals are naturally a big temptation for a busy mum.
Living alone in her flat in the east of Ipswich, readymeals are also something that Leela finds increasinglyuseful. “I’ve got lazy,” she says with a rueful smile. “Be-cause today you can buy ready-made meals, quite healthymeals, at a reasonable price. And if you’re alone and sin-gle, I think it’s cheaper than buying things and cookingthem for yourself.”
Are there any foods she especially misses? “Not real-ly,” replies Leela. “Because today in this country, you canget just about anything you like. You can collect all theingredients you want.” How about Mira and Bashdar? “Imiss kazika ,” says Mira immediately. “It’s corn, beans andpalm oil cooked together.” It’s one of the tastes of herchildhood and difficult to find or cook in Ipswich. Bash-dar has another solution. “When I miss Kurdish food, Igo to London,” he says. “Tey have everything there.”

Unsurprisingly, research shows that food se-curity, the availability of nutritious, tasty food, plays animportant role in “feeling at home” for migrants. Food issymbolic of international div ersity and difference as muchas acceptance and integration. As Leela Smith says: “Temost important thing in life is the food that we take in.”
