WOM COLLECTIVE LAUNCHES A SERIES OF EMPOWERING EVENTS

BY FEMALE STREET ARTISTS IN LONDON 


Damitta is an artist from Spain with 17 years of experience using different media and techniques: oils, acrylic, pencils etc. But her passion is Street Art. More about Damitta here.

I fell in love with mural painting about 15 years ago. Working with such dimensions in the street enhances my sense of connection with people. Most of the time, I love to paint women’s portraits. This is how I express the feminine; being a woman and portraying women in Street Art, a genre in itself.

Awarded Artist Maria Linares Freire

I share Damitta's feeling about Street Art. My art reveals a metaverse to the brain, a challenge to the commun, a wake up call to the senses. I started with fine arts and developed an interest for muralism over time.


Maria Linares Freire is our Co-editor-in-chief for the Arts and Artist in residence. Also, she exhibited on the moon. More about Maria here.

& Murielle Mobengo


Maria Linares Freire is a London-based artist from Cordoba, Spain.  The symbolism of her work reveals a metaverse to the brain, a challenge to the commun, a wake up call to the senses. She started with fine arts and also developed an interest for muralism and digital arts over the years. Maria's most iconic exhibition happened in October 2015, when her painting was projected over the Moon surface by the NASA. An awarded artist, Maria has been co-editor for the Arts at Revue {R} from 2022-2023 and has moved on to pursue other interests. We wish her the best in her future endeavors.

Murielle Mobengo is Editor-in-chief and founder of {R}. She inquires poetic existence, the origins of Poetry, and its proximity with Art, Mythology, and Philosophy. She composes in English, French, German, and has a fondness for Western ancient languages & Sanskrit. Murielle is working on her second poetry collection, two documentaries, and a book on poetic and artistic maturity. She is the blessed mother of two multitalented artists. She founded a unique counseling practice in cultural leadership development for poets and artists.

par David Capps & Murielle Mobengo 06 avr., 2024
Cet entretien limpide avec David Capps, philosophe et poète auteur de "Silence Divine", a renouvelé ma foi d'éditrice. Oui, dans le noir, il y a encore des perles lumineuses (et rares, donc). En pensée et Parole claires, nous avons traversé bien des contrées obscures. Des vertus créatrices du griffonnage aux sempiternelles questions du génie et de la séparation entre l'homme et l'artiste, nous sommes passés par l'importance de la tradition en philosophie et en littérature. Chemin faisant...

par David Capps & Murielle Mobengo 06 avr., 2024
In the midst of 30 podcast episodes and the hum of my own thoughts, I rediscovered the joy of engaging in lofty conversation. Joining philosopher David Capps in dialogue renewed my editor’s faith in discovering rare pearls amidst the chatter. Our discussion ranged from the unexpected creative value of doodling to the perennial questions of genius, distinguishing the human from the artist, and the importance of tradition in thinking and writing.

Beyond mere activism, Myra's eclectic journey serves as both a challenge and an inspiration, prompting us to reevaluate our own notions of success and self-worth—a cornerstone of the artist's persona.

Ambassadrice énamourée de l'Afrique et conteuse visonnaire, Myra Dunoyer Vahighene est déterminée à révéler toute la richesse culturelle et historique de ce beau continent. Par delà-l’engagement militant, son parcours éclectique interpelle, inspire, et questionne notre propre rapport à la réussite et à l’estime de soi, composante fondamentale de la personnalité de l’artiste.

par Murielle Mobengo 30 janv., 2024
Should poets write dedications today, or is it an outdated practice, a relic of the past, an archaism? The answer does not revolve around their perceived obsolescence. These ancient texts, enriched with dedications, have transcended time, becoming literary and spiritual canons. Those of us fortunate enough to have received an education in classical and religious literature still marvel at them.

par Murielle Mobengo 11 janv., 2024
The recurring juxtaposition of creativity, often associated with order (a nod to Kant), and mental illness raises concerns, in my opinion, and proves quite surprising. It is plausible that many scientists researching creativity, lacking a genuine creative inclination themselves, view it as an enigmatic internal phenomenon, thereby making a spectacle of it.

«I am asking the question. Please answer it for yourself first. It is very important to find that out because there is so little beauty in our daily life. Ask yourself, enquire very deeply what is this word used by poets, painters, and sculptors, and you are asking yourself now, what is this quality of beauty.»

Aux portes de l’Europe et de l’Orient, la guerre, barbarie totale, nous menace tous d’anéantissement. Une autre guerre plus discrète se joue dans nos esprits, cependant. Traditions, langues et cultures ancestrales se dégradent sous les assauts d’une modernité sans projet, une modernité dont le but est de tout cloisonner, de tout dé(const)ruire. Face à ce casus belli total, Revue Révolution invoque la Beauté toute-puissante, éternelle, l’expression mystique de l’effacement de soi devant plus grand que soi.

Polymathy: it's not about the superiority of generalization, rather the art of discernment
par Murielle Mobengo 13 oct., 2023
Have you ever pondered the idea of mastering all that truly holds significance? Imagine an individual with an exceptional depth of knowledge spanning various fields, someone capable of distinguishing the true, the relevant, and the absolute. Being a polymath goes beyond the misconception of knowing everything; it's about possessing the exceptional ability to discern what genuinely matters, both in the present and for the future. In other words, this term, "polymath," which is annoyingly trending, connotes not just an extensive reservoir of borrowed knowledge, but the intellectual prowess to reach into the domain of what is relevant and timeless. So it's not about the superiority of generalization or specialization, rather the art of discernment.
