“Unguarded, Untold, Iconic: Afghanistan Through the Lens of Steve McCurry”

The Michener Art Museum’s upcoming exhibit features the work of famed photographer, Steve McCurry.

By Sarah Emily Gilbert

Photography by Steve McCurry

In an exhibition that opens on July 16, 2016, the James A. Michener Art Museum will present a collection of photographs by Steve McCurry, the photographer whose iconic image “Afghan Girl” captivated the world in 1985. Offering thought-provoking perspectives on Afghan culture, food, religion, and history, the exhibition “Unguarded, Untold, Iconic: Afghanistan through the Lens of Steve McCurry” will include that photograph as well as dozens of others captured by McCurry in Afghanistan during the last 35 years. On view through October 23, 2016, the exhibition will also feature a selection of work from ImagineAsia’s Young Women’s Photography Initiative, illuminating women’s lives in Afghanistan, as well as a selection of rugs designed by Afghan women through Azru Studio Hope.

“This striking exhibition invites our visitors of all ages to envision and understand daily life in a country where circumstances are dramatically, harshly different than here in Bucks County, Pennsylvania,” said Lisa Tremper Hanover, director and CEO of the Michener Art Museum. “We are very proud to present this globally themed exhibition of work by a renowned Philadelphia-born photographer that will most certainly invite personal contemplation as well as public dialogue.”

“The work of Steve McCurry has resonated around the world for decades, sharpening our understanding of quotidian life and perilous situations of people in places that most Westerners never have the opportunity to visit,” said Kelsey Halliday Johnson, the Michener Art Museum’s curatorial fellow in photography and new media, who curated the “Unguarded, Untold, Iconic” exhibition along with Louise Feder, assistant curator.  “This exhibition presents a chance to explore both new and familiar photographs from McCurry’s career-long connection with the complicated, diverse, and intriguing country of Afghanistan, which he was first drawn to after reading James Michener’s novel Caravans.”

James A. Michener, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author for whom the Michener Art Museum is named, wrote the historical novel Caravans in 1963, when Afghanistan was inching towards war with the Soviet Union. Steve McCurry has said that reading the book was among the numerous prompts for his first trip to Afghanistan in 1979. Passages from Michener’s Caravans will be featured in the exhibition; this unique pairing will highlight a cultural narrative of how two leading figures from Southeastern Pennsylvania have contributed to crucial global understanding of Afghanistan in the second half of the 20th century.

“Complementing the Unguarded, Untold, Iconic: Afghanistan through the Lens of Steve McCurry” exhibition will be a roundtable discussion with McCurry, a book signing with McCurry, a lecture series, a film series, and curator gallery talks. For listings and details, visit MichenerArtMuseum.org or call (215) 340-9800. Group tours are also welcome.

Here, we outline some of our favorite products from Birchbox.

Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer

Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer, $29

If you’re not using bronzer, you’re missing out. Whether you use it to give your face a little definition or sweep it all over to warm up your skin, bronzer is a year-round must. Get on board with Hoola, Benefit’s bestselling pressed bronzer. The silky powder that comes in a cute mirrored compact, and can be used all over or as a contouring shade. We love how the chestnut color glides on without any prom-style glitter and blends in easily.

bb_prod_E42G_415x415_0

Bobbi Brown Instant Long-Wear Makeup Remover, $28

We have tried every trick in the beauty book to keep makeup on all day, but when it comes to taking it off, we aren’t so excited about the extra tug and pull. With a gentle formula that’s actually a match for our waterproof smoky eyes and lip stains, wiping away the day just got a whole lot easier. Double duty to the rescue: This remover also conditions and refreshed as it cleanses.

benefit-theyre-real-tinted-eyelash-primer-d-20151201153026457~457939

Benefit They’re Real! Tinted Lash Primer, $24

Lashes worthy of a double take? Look no further. Swipe on this primer under mascara to dramatically boost length and separation, or wear it alone to define and tint lashes for a naturally feathered look. Unlike those hard-to-cover white primers, the mink brown color blends in seamlessly under mascara (or on its own). Plus, its custom extra-flex brush moves with lashes to avoid clumps, and the gel formula is both water-resistant and packed with conditioning vitamin B5.

Clarisonic Smart Profile

Clarisonic Smart Profile, $299

Sorry, smartphone-we have a new favorite piece of smart technology: this intelligent update to the customer-fave Clarisonic skincare system. It’s designed to communicate with SMART-enabled brush heads to know your skincare needs-and automatically give you the type of clean you need. Developed with microchips that engage with the device for an eleven-times-deeper clean, these hi-tech brush heads auto-adjust speed and power depending on if you’re targeting your face, body or feet. (There’s also a turbo boost button for major problem areas.) Plus, the new user-friendly interface features a battery indictor and alerts you when it’s time to switch to a new brush head. This kit includes samples of Clarisonic’s Refining Skin Polish and Refreshing Gel Cleanser, so you can get your clean on right away.

CLEAN Rollerball Layering Collection (Air, Cool Cotton, Warm Cotton, Fresh Laundry, Rain)

CLEAN Rollerball Layering Collection (Air, Cool Cotton, Warm Cotton, Fresh Laundry, Rain), $18

While some women swear by a signature scent, we find it a lot more fun to experiment with fragrance on a weekly-or daily-basis. That’s why this mix and match set of five intoxicating scents is right up our alley. Designed to be worn solo or layered together to create a one-of-a-kind blend, they’ll have you hooked from the very first sniff. For when you’re feeling flirty and ultrafeminine, there’s Air, a melange of lush green accords, freesia, peony, and amber. Looking to exude a more sultry vibe? Try Warm Cotton, a subtly sexy blend of citrus, floral, and amber. Keep things light and sparkling with Cool Cotton, featuring notes of crisp green apple, lemon zest, and mimosa blossom, or Fresh Laundry, a mix of Brazilian orange, rose otto, and night blooming jasmine. And for a perfectly pure, elegant scent, try Rain, featuring delicate notes of daffodil, dewy melon, and water lily.

Supergoop! At Play Value Set

Supergoop! At Play Value Set, $45

Life may not always be a beach, but it certainly feels like one when we’ve got this Supergoop! At Play Value Set on hand. With four of the brand’s expertly formulated, paraben and oxybenzone-free sunscreens, it has everything we need to enjoy a day in the sun while keeping our face, lips, and body safely protected from both UVA and UVB rays. (And the supercute tote is a fun bonus.) For our face, there’s the Everyday SPF 50 with Cellular Response Technology, an oil-free formula packed with antiaging antioxidants, as well as the Skin Soothing Mineral Sunscreen with Olive Polyphenols SPF 40, a hypoallergenic formula that calms sensitive skin. The Antioxidant-Infused Sunscreen Mist with Vitamin C SPF 50 features a spray-on formula that dries quickly for full-body protection. And don’t forget your lips: The Fusion Lip Balm SPF 30+ in Mint keeps them shielded from the sun and has a subtle, sheer pink tint. A $59 value!

Marcelle BB Cream Golden Glow

Marcelle BB Cream Golden Glow, $28

We’’ll be the first to admit: Smooth, dewy skin is right at the top of our beauty wish list (right next to endless, clump-free lashes). This multitasking BB cream gets us much closer to our goal——and with minimal effort. It hydrates and calms skin, evens tone, controls shine, lightly masks imperfections, and, thanks to tiny flecks of light-reflecting pigments, infuses skin with a fresh-from the-yoga-studio radiance. This hypoallergenic, gluten-free, perfume-free, and oil-free formula is perfect for those with sensitive skin.

R+Co DEATH VALLEY Dry Shampoo

R+Co DEATH VALLEY Dry Shampoo, $29

This dry shampoo will do more than clean up your hair; it’ll lend it a kind of untamed texture—not unlike the landscape from which it takes its name. Just a few sprays will absorb excess oil, increase volume, and add definition.

Laura Geller New York Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator

Laura Geller New York Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator, $26

There’s a lot to love about gelato. This luminous, warm highlighter celebrates the Italian dessert’s rich texture with a formula that applies like a powder but feels like a cream, making it easily blendable and ideal for building to your perfect coverage. Another plus? The pretty 3D design ensures you get an even sweep of product until the very last application.

Jouer Tint

Jouer Tint, $22

Petite enough to fit into your daintiest evening clutch, this two-in-one pigment gives both lips and cheeks a wash of creamy color. Each square compact comes with a built-in mirror, and the moisturizing formula is designed to be applied directly with your fingertips. We love how the sheer pigments blend in easily to give skin a healthy, dewy finish.

bkr Glass Water Bottle 32 oz.

bkr Glass Water Bottle 32 oz., $45

Minimalism is based on a single guiding principle: That simplicity and beauty are often one and the same. These glass-made vessels embrace that notion on every level, offering a stylish, eco-friendly alternative to disposable bottles and BPA-heavy plastics. Made with simple glass and food-grade silicone, these bottles are a welcome departure from the excesses of a buy-and-toss world. Best of all, a portion of each sale goes to charities like the Obakki Foundation, which brings the gift of clean water wherever it’’s needed most.

Smith & Cult Nailed Lacquer - Ghost Edit

Smith & Cult Nailed Lacquer – Ghost Edit, $18

Created by the beauty icon who launched Hard Candy (and sparked our polish obsession in the 90’s), Smith & Cult strikes that perfect balance between gorgeous and edgy (just look at their shade names to see what we mean). This covetable, semi-sheer polish in a nude pink shade is vibrant, chip-resistant, and 8-free—meaning the formula is free of not-so-nice ingredients like dibutyl phthalate, toluene, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, camphor, xylene, ethyl tosylamide, and triphenyl phosphate.

By Sarah Emily Gilbert

From female human cannonballs to 115-foot-tall balloons, the 34th annual QuickChek New Jersey Festival of Ballooning is going to be a sight to see. The three-day event will paint the Hunterdon County skies with 100 hot air balloons from around the world, including the UK, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, and Thailand.

Located at the Solberg Airport in Reading, the festival will feature several noteworthy balloons including QuickChek’s 115-foot-tall Farmer Pig, Puddles and Splash the 90-foot-tall kissing penguins, and a 500-pound Brazilian Piranha. A mass hot air balloon inflation and ascension will take place at 6:30am and 6:30pm on each day of the festival. There will also be the “Greatest Glow on Earth” Saturday night balloon glow where balloons are inflated and lit up while tethered to the ground.

In addition to the balloons, the event includes daily music concerts. Third Eye Blind will perform on opening night, followed by a fireworks display. Saturday brings NJ101.5FM, The Girl and The Dreamcatcher, and KC and The Sunshine Band. On Sunday, John Kay & Steppenwolf and Foghat perform in association with Q104.3FM. Children’s amusements, a 5K Cross-Road Challenge, and hundreds of crafters and food vendors will also be available to the expected 165, 000 attendees.
