The internationally known British-Nigerian artist and curator Zina Saro-Wiwa just made her musical debut as SIRA*. The record "Songs for the End of the World" draws on her multidisciplinary approach to art and non-profit organising work.

Moderate singles and a failed comeback on international television: the long-hoped end of Madonna was conjured unapologetically on all media platforms. It is a tough time to defend her, but with her newest record she reminds us that it is not easy to diminish her. As an female artist who evolves pop culture for more than three decades now, detractors should choose more wisely who they try to shut down.
