The war in Ukraine and the 1973 Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade Legalization of abortion in the United States, severe weather from severe flooding to an unprecedented heat wave, human rights protests in Iran and global economic uncertainty – the world needs no less in 2022 Art, fashion and culture Important statements and important distractions They are well established.

Culture in conflict

In the year When Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, the country's artistic and cultural heritage was immediately threatened. Representatives of the public and cultural sectors rushed to cities across the country to protect museums and monuments from monument sandbag attacks. A number of paintings by Maria Primachenko, a self-taught artist and icon of Ukrainian national identity of the 20th century, have reportedly been destroyed by Russian troops in an attack on a museum in her hometown of Ivankovo.
But while some works of art have sadly disappeared, new works have been created – like the Seven Banksy Wall Murals – that convey a message of restoration. Unexpectedly, Ukraine is still participating in the Venice Biennale in April, Pavel Makov's source of fatigue, the installation of 78 bronze funds that pay a single flow of water until the flow decreases.

Maria Lanko, a Ukrainian analyst who spoke to CNN about the exhibition, believes that "art has this symbolic potential to celebrate people's lives and show that we are still here – to show that Ukraine is a victim of war."

Artists around the world have used art to rebel against governments and their own policies. In October, Xisheng Wu, a 28-year-old art school graduate, took to New York's Times Square in a 27-layer hazmat suit to criticize China's strict policies to eradicate Covid-19. "I want to use this as an example for every Chinese who is immersed in the political tide," he said.

Deputy police in the region. Wearing the wrong hijab. The provocative act of cutting hair and burning scarves in the street challenges the regime's repressive laws against women, including compulsory veiling in public.

Together, the artists responded in different ways, posting a picture of Marge Simpson modeling her famous blue hull on social media.

A large photo of 16-year-old Iranian Nika Shakarami, who was found dead in protests in Tehran in December, was taken at Franklin D. Roosevelt for Freedom State Park. More than 300 protesters stood in waves to mimic the shaking locks and Shah Karami's face painted on the crinoline. The installation was part of a larger series of art commissions called "Views of Iran."

In January, Rihanna announced that she was expecting her first child with A$AP partner Rocky, announcing the news with a photo shoot that showed off the star's belly in a 1996 Chanel pink jacket adorned with Christian Lacroix embellishments.

You can't buy it in the birth aisle. "I'm sorry, the dress is very interesting," she said. "I don't allow this part because my body is changing."

Disturbances in the Metaverse

While futuristic virtual worlds loomed on the horizon last year, with hundreds of billions of dollars raised by tech companies, luxury brands and venture capitalists, the metaverse is going strong in 2022. But it was far from smooth. Meanwhile, gaming platform Roblox continues to attract millions of visitors with its fashion and luxury projects, while Meta has struggled to create a digital world people want to hang out in. With the global economic outlook deteriorating, cryptocurrencies collapsing and mass layoffs, mass adoption of virtual worlds may not happen as quickly and smoothly as we'd like. But with technological advancements and limitless creativity in space, everyone is looking to 2023 to see what's next.

In the year In 2022, many new faces will join established influencers in helping to relaunch the idea of ​​the nerd girl. While the Chinese zodiac describes it as the year of the tiger, in some ways it was like the year of the fox.

She quickly established herself as celebrity fashion's "scary child," rejecting low-cut pants and dying her hair at age 32 in the name of aging.
But not all his daughters should be strange like Fox. This year, Zendaya has been aided by award-winning stylist and collaborator Lou Roach to maintain her flawless looks on the red carpet. The fashion-savvy actress once again coined the term "hot show" when she wore Lowe's ahead of the September issue. Chinese-American figure skater Ellen Guo, who has quietly made a name for herself in the fashion industry, is set to become a luxury fashion star in 2022. Her bilingualism, athleticism at the Beijing Winter Olympics and her apolitical stance on controversial issues are among the many reasons she continues to fascinate both Asian and Western audiences in China.

Tribute to Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe's very short and turbulent life has provided endless fodder for film, television and fashion, but two prestigious awards this year have forced many to rethink how the actress and model is remembered. After months of derision for Anna de Armas' macabre turn to Monroe in Andrew Dominic's Blonde, a dramatic and somewhat revealing portrayal of her life based on Joyce Carol Oates' novel, critics labeled the shocking film exploitative. But another honor was the surprise return of Kim Kardashian's "Happy Birthday Monroe" dress, which the reality star coordinated for her Met Gala appearance in May. Amidst accusations that Kardashian messed up the image, Ripley said, "Believe it or not!" Who owns the thing, but many still miss the important piece of historical clothing they wore.

Culture is not condemned by death

While much of the public, the media, and the royal family were on edge, when the news of Queen Elizabeth II's death broke on September 8, it was no less surreal. Between his death and his royal funeral, newspapers around the world focused on news reports, and his legacy was honored with the depth and enthusiasm of a rare historical figure. It was impossible to resist her image, because she was immortalized by artists and photographers all over the world. She is Britain's longest-reigning monarch and a symbol of courage, diplomacy and stability. She is known for her pep talks, arts and culture support, artful diplomacy and more. But her death has brought back poignant memories of Britain's often violent colonial era, as critics of the old empire seek to contextualize the pages of tributes to a woman many see as a symbol of oppression.

Art with movement

This year, climate protesters approached the march in different ways. In October, Just Stop Oil launched cans of tomato soup at the Vincent van Gogh "Sunflowers" exhibition at London's National Gallery. Credit : Just Stop Oil/The Hand/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images

After a Louvre visitor painted on the Mona Lisa earlier this summer, 2022 was the year no artwork was safe. Among the many masterpieces targeted by climate change protesters are paintings by Gustav Klimt, Pablo Picasso and Sandro Botticelli (some of which are framed).

Britain's Just Stop Oil, which hopes to end future fossil fuel licensing, is behind a series of events including a tomato soup attack on Vincent van Gogh's sunflowers. Climate campaigners across Europe have followed suit by targeting Claude Monet's 'Hay Ball with Mashed Potatoes' to protestors in Germany as Belgian painters team up with Johannes Vermeer's 'Girl with Pearl Ears'.
Since then, some of the protesters have been sentenced to prison terms and the actions that have caused great division are critical. Some critics believe that the activists' actions end up alienating the public and harming their cause. However, studies show that even then, the decline in the support of the demonstrators did not affect the support for their demand.

All the world is a stage.

From Heidi Klum's nightmarish giant worm costume to her famous Halloween party and Olivia Wilde's Don't Worry Darling press tour has become sexier than the movie, the red carpet moments and track that took the Internet by storm this year were even weirder. And more theatrical than ever. Twitter is obsessed with the latter: Did Harry Styles really spit on fellow actor Chris Pine?

At Paris Fashion Week in October, Bella Hadid was at the center of one of the most talked-about moments in the fashion world of the year. The model is locked in for French label Coperny for spring/summer 2023, though her latest outfit comes after walking the catwalk. The factory white dress, which was sprayed on her body by two scientists, was sculpted in 10 minutes by a stunned audience.
