The way the U.S. behaved in Iraq will not be forgotten by history, said a former Iraqi detainee from the notorious Abu Ghraib prison. Memory of hunger, fear, physical and mental abuse in the prison is still a nightmare haunting him. #GLOBALink

Tortured in Phu Quoc Prison

Beats by Vroxyle:

This day we took a look into a dark part of Vietnam's history...

Times may seem hard sometimes but we must remember to be thankful to be in a better day and age and be glad that we have what we have and not take it for granted.

Give thanks!

The National Justice Museum including creepy torture equipment & prison cells, Nottingham, England.

A brief walk through the National Justice Museum in Nottingham, England.

The court room featured (very briefly) has appeared in many television and movie court scenes as it has a classic look of a UK courtroom (it has been out of use for many years as a 'real' court).
The torture equipment and prison cells under the court were the highlight. Overall a worthwhile place to visit.

Although my visit was during the 2020 pandemic, the museum still had live actors with whom you could engage in conversations. As a result I ended up with a few abrupt edits because I didn't want to show them on camera.

Spike Island in Cork, Ireland

Spike Island is an island of 103 acres in Cork Harbour, Ireland. Originally the site of a monastic settlement, the island is dominated by an 18th-century star fort named Fort Mitchel. The island's strategic location within the harbour meant it was used at times for defence and as a prison. Since the early 21st century the island has been developed as a heritage tourist attraction, with €5.5 million investment in exhibition and visitor spaces and accompanying tourism marketing. There were in excess of 64,000 visitors to the island during 2018. Spike Island was named top European tourist attraction at the 2017 World Travel Awards.

Used as an Island prison, fortress, monastery and home, today visitors can meet captains and convicts and sinners and saints as you uncover 1300 years of Irish history. With prison cells, deep tunnels, island walks and multiple museums, explore the 'Irish Alcatraz' via a guided tour or using the free map and app. Access to the island is by ferry from Kennedy pier, Cobh, go to for sailings and opening times.

The islands recorded history goes back to the 7th century when St Mochuda founded a monastery on this magical island. Monks walked the island trails for 300 years until the Vikings sailed into Cork harbour, and for many centuries the island was used by smugglers, pirates and as an island home.

In 1779 work began on a fortress and this would become the impressive 24 acre Fort Mitchel which crowns the island today. Able to garrison 3000 men and with guns that could fire a shell 12 miles, the fort was so important that Winston Churchill called Spike Island 'the sentinel tower of the defences of Western Europe'.

The fortress that was built to defend an empire became the largest prison in the world in the 1850's, as the famine raged in Ireland and people resorted to stealing food to survive. The prison opened in 1847 and soon held over 2300 inmates, and there has never been a larger prison in Ireland or Britain before or since. Conditions at 'Ireland's Alcatraz' were terrible and 1300 poor souls would never leave the island, buried now in mass graves with no headstone. Today visitors can explore the dark cells of the punishment block, Ireland's most notorious prison. You can walk the children's prison which held boys as young as 11, and sit in solitary cells.

The prison closed in 1883 and the fort was used by first the British and then the Irish military, as island social life continued for 2 centuries. A prison would return in 1985 and a riot that year forced the islanders to evacuate, ending centuries of island social life. The prison would continue until 2004 and today you can walk the modern cells. Hear stories of daring escapes, Irish rebels, Ireland's most notorious criminal and a dark past.

Today the island has several museums and exhibitions on the social, military, penal and monastic past, and there are stunning views as you complete the 'Ring of Spike', a 5km walking trail with interpreted signage.

In May 2006 the then Minister for Justice Michael McDowell announced plans to build a new prison on the island. However, in January 2007, it was decided to explore an alternative site for the new prison, and a local task group was set up to re-open Spike as a historical tourist site. In 2009 it was announced that ownership of the island would be transferred (free of charge) to Cork County Council to enable its development as a tourist attraction. The Council formed a steering group to explore how Spike Island might be developed as a tourist site, and the Council subsequently licensed operators to give guided tours of the island.

Since 2015, tours depart from Cobh during the summer, taking in the fort, prison cells, gun emplacements, and key points of interest.

Following additional €5.5m investment by Cork County Council and Fáilte Ireland, additional attractions and facilities were opened for the Summer 2016 season. As well as the previously opened buildings and 6-inch gun emplacements, as of Summer 2016, visitors to the Fortress Spike Island cultural heritage attraction can also tour the punishment block, the 1980s cells (which include an exhibition on the 1985 Spike Island riot), the recreation of the hull of a transportation ship, and an interpretative installation on John Mitchel - for whom the fort is named.

In September 2017, at the World Travel Awards, Spike Island was named 'Europe's Leading Tourist Attraction', ahead of the Acropolis in Athens, Buckingham Palace in London, and the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

viennacontemporary 2015 | Talk: How Does the Art World React to Challenges and Changes in Society?

How Does the Art World React to Challenges and Changes in Society?

chaired by: Vanessa Joan Müller – Head of Dramaturgy Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna

Bassam El Baroni – Independent Curator and Art Critic, Alexandria, EG

Séamus Kealy – Director Salzburger Kunstverein, Salzburg

Catrin Lorch – Art Critic Süddeutsche Zeitung, Munich, DE

Contemporary Art is often understood as a mirror of the society it arises from, as a critical commentary or an analysis through aesthetics. Currently, our world is changing at a pace that does not leave much room for long-term reflection. Even the art world itself is undergoing changes to an extent that forces curators and other protagonists to question their own position. The speakers will discuss the challenges of our time and how and if the art world can react to them.
