Like in many Arabic countries, homosexuality is a massive taboo and is not accepted by society. As such there are no gay bars or gay clubs available in Dubai.

People have been jailed in Dubai (four year mandatory minimum) and elsewhere in the Emirates for possessing three milligrams of cannabis (a pinhead-sized speck) detected by swabbing the soles of their shoes. I've recommended that musician buddies visiting Dubai buy new luggage and shoes before visiting, and change into the new shoes on the plane and throw the old ones away. It's one of the last places in the world you want to get caught with cannabis. Yes, you can find cannabis in Dubai, but if you need it that badly, stay home.

National White Ribbon Against Pornography Week (WRAP) is meant to raise awareness of the harm caused by pornography. Is this a cause worth standing up for, or is it shaming and overregulating the adult industry? Two of our Parenting writers sound off on the issue.

Maria Mora: Porn isn't inherently harmful to families
I believe the adult industry has many faults, but I don't think pornography and exploitation of children should be married in the eyes of the public. The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) was founded by members of the adult industry to help efforts to stop child pornography. We can talk about the fact that it's harmful for kids to watch porn, but don't think that regulating the adult industry has anything to do with the predators who are out there.
It's a separate issue, and I think those who are uncomfortable with porn because of their personal values make a mistake in using children as a shield to denounce all adult content.
Adults have a responsibility to engage with porn in a responsible manner. Addiction is a reality for some, just as it is with substances like drugs and alcohol. In the context of relationships, porn can be a good thing or a bad thing, but the content itself isn't destroying marriages — it's the behavior of those engaging with it.
Parents need to monitor how their kids interact with the internet. It's never not going to be full of porn ranging from vanilla stuff to niche kinks almost everyone would find obscene. No one wants children to be exposed to this stuff, but you'll never be able to scrub the internet clean. I think the focus should be on monitoring software and filters that make internet access safe for kids and anyone who doesn't want to stumble across adult content.
The WRAP campaign claims to be all about children, but it's really about stamping out what a portion of the population finds obscene. Obscenity is far too subjective a concept. If you ask these people, all erotica and pornography should be wiped from our culture — and that's not a reasonable stance.
Mary McCoy: Porn is soul-sucking, and it needs more regulation
Pornography is the exchange of reality for fantasy, and I'm most concerned about it as a women's rights issue. Regardless of how she found herself in pornography, a female porn performer turns into tits and ass for the gawking masses. She becomes the exploit of the man or teenage boy on the other side of a pixelated screen, who is discarded as she ages for another barely legal woman who is willing to perform the latest sexual fantasy for her consumers. This is concerning in and of itself, not counting the research that the women who are most likely to work in porn or the sex industry are often financially vulnerable or come from a childhood home of abuse and neglect.
The danger of turning any woman into a fantasy is that she loses her soul. Not actually, of course, because that's not possible. She loses her soul in the eyes of the people who pay to consume her. And the men and boys who consume her become so enraptured by her fantasy that they forget there are real women and girls in their real lives who want to have real relationships, complete with dates and mortgages and maybe even a fun sex life — that's not warped by unattainable images and the erectile dysfunction and performance issues that often accompany porn usage.
Look, I get that porn is here to stay. I'm not stupid, and I know sex sells and that there's a lot of money to be made. I don't fault any woman for choosing to make a buck with porn (or not choosing, since pornography is rife with the risk of sex trafficking), but it badly needs regulation. The WRAP campaign is an important step, because it's starting where it matters most: our children. Our children do not deserve to be subjected to porn, and they deserve a fighting chance if they want to stop a pattern of fantasy before they turn into adults. The best way to do that is to regulate their exposure, and I frankly can't understand why anyone would be opposed to that.

Dadaventuras
According to Chris Joseph, "Dadaventuras" "is an experiment in aleatory narrative, using comic book conventions to generate stories from eight distinct but overlapping perspectives." As the name suggests, "Dadaventuras" draws its inspiration from the inspired absurdity of its dadaist forbears. Through its curious hybrid language (a mutant "spanglish"), its grotesque imagery, and its randomized programming, "Dadaventuras" exists at the intersection of literary, visual, and time-based art, making it a strong example of dada in our digital age. Though the "comics" are assembled from a pool of 66 illustrations, the number of panels, the dimensions of each panel, how the images are cropped, focused, reversed, and inverted all suggest an infinite number of possible readings, complementing the aleatory nature of text. To enrich the piece's absurd possibility, readers are also free to use one of eight classic texts, add their own text, or turn the text off completely and make up the story in their heads.

On appelle « Première exposition des peintres impressionnistes », une manifestation culturelle française organisée par la Société anonyme des artistes peintres, sculpteurs et graveurs du  au  au 35 boulevard des Capucines à Paris dans les studios d'un célèbre écrivain et photographe de l'époque, Nadar. Originellement, cette exposition ne porte aucun qualifiant officiel : ce sont les critiques d'art, qui, après coup, par voie de presse, appelèrent cet événement « l'Exposition des impressionnistes ». Le mot impressionnisme est le nom péjoratif qui a été popularisé par un journaliste, Louis Leroy, et qui s'imposa, bien souvent contre l'avis même des artistes.

Circonstances
La Société a été créée quelques mois plut tôt, le , par des peintres dont certains s'étaient vu à plusieurs reprises refuser d'exposer leurs œuvres au Salon de peinture et de sculpture depuis avant 1870. Parmi ceux-ci, des artistes que la critique allait bientôt appeler les « impressionnistes ». Elle ne propose aucun manifeste ou déclaration, elle ne veut pas être une école.

La Société a invité des artistes plus classiques, parfois primés, pour montrer aux critiques d'art que ce nouveau salon n'était pas une nouvelle édition du Salon des refusés de 1863.  Trente artistes acceptèrent de participer à l'exposition qui montra .

Nadar a besoin d'argent : c'est pourquoi il accepte de louer son atelier.

Du côté des marchands d'art, l'action et le soutien de Paul Durand-Ruel sont notables.

Précédents
Cette exposition est avant tout une réaction contre le Salon de 1873 qui avait été houleux et où les artistes qui s'étaient vus refuser leurs travaux se plaignaient des choix conservateurs du jury. Elle constitue la dernière étape d'une révolte des peintres contre l'establishmment qui a commencé en 1855, année où le peintre Gustave Courbet, dont trois tableaux ont été refusés à l'exposition universelle, a fait construire le Pavillon du réalisme, 5 avenue Montaigne pour les exposer avec trente-sept de ses œuvres. Cette manifestation attira beaucoup de jeunes peintres qui, à leur tour vont exposer chez François Bonvin, l'ami de Courbet.

Cette première exposition dite des peintres impressionniste a été précédée par deux événements majeurs : d'abord en 1862, la création de la Société nationale des beaux-arts, puis en 1863 par la création du Salon des refusés, qui était déjà une forme de révolte manifeste contre l'art officiel centralisé.

Entre 1860 et 1871, le groupe des Batignolles réuni autour d'Édouard Manet, soit dans l'atelier de Manet, soit au Café Guerbois, lance l'idée, que les artistes devraient exposer eux-mêmes leurs œuvres. Dès 1866, à la suite du refus par le jury d'admission des tableaux de Paul Cézanne et de Frédéric Bazille au Salon, Cézanne déclare : « En réalité nous triomphons, et ce refus en masse, cet exil immense est une victoire. Il ne nous reste plus qu'à exposer nous mêmes et à faire une concurrence mortelle à tous ces vieux idiots borgnes ». En 1867, Courbet, de nouveau, ouvre son propre pavillon en marge de l'exposition universelle de 1867.

Au Salon de 1873, nombre d'artistes ont été refusés par le jury. Berthe Morisot n'a qu'un seul tableau accepté, Blanche, œuvre très conventionnelle qui représentait sans doute Blanche Pontillon bébé. À partir de là, la décision est prise : les artistes exposeront eux-mêmes. La même année, l'écrivain Paul Alexis annonce le projet de l'association dans L'Avenir national en précisant « [...] que  cette association ne sera pas une chapelle. [Les artistes] ne veulent unir que des intérêts et non des systèmes et ils souhaitent l'adhésion de tous les travailleurs. »

Le « Salon des impressionnistes » va déclencher d'autre initiatives d'artistes : le Groupe des XX en 1883 lancé par Octave Maus, le Salon des indépendants fondé en 1884, suivi par le salon de la Libre Esthétique en 1894.

Mais surtout d'autres expositions d'impressionnistes en marge du Salon, la suivante étant chez Paul Durand-Ruel.

Artistes peintres participants

Du  au , 30 artistes participent à l'exposition organisée dans l'atelier-studio du photographe Nadar, qui présente l'avantage d'être un grand espace éclairé avec verrière :

Les œuvres présentées
Pour l'intégralité des œuvres présentées à l'exposition voir :

165 œuvres sont présentées dans un mélange de genres voulu et assumé par Degas, auquel Monet s'oppose. Cette querelle va durer jusqu'à la septième exposition, ouverte en , à laquelle finalement Degas refuse de participer parce que son ami Jean-François Raffaëlli a été refusé par Gauguin et Caillebotte au motif que Raffaëlli est devenu trop classique. En réalité, Raffaëlli avait recueilli les louanges de la critique lors de la cinquième exposition impressionniste à laquelle il a participé, et il avait été finalement accepté au Salon officiel.

Il est vrai que cette première exposition n'est pas uniquement réservée aux « impressionnistes », et que l'attention des trois mille cinq cents visiteurs est aussi retenue par d'autres artistes que l'histoire de l'art et la critique vont en partie oublier, peut-être parce qu'ils

La critique et la presse en cette année 1874 se sont surtout intéressées, pour encenser ou démolir leurs manières, leurs styles, à Renoir, Pissaro, Degas, Monet, Sisley comme le résume Castagnary dans Le Siècle. Elle n'a d'ailleurs pas été aussi mauvaise que la légendaire charge de Leroy, dans Le Charivari pourrait le laisser croire. C'est surtout à partir de la deuxième exposition qu'elle va se déchaîner.

Pour une visite sélective en rapport avec cette première exposition, le musée d'Orsay retient quelques toiles incontournables : .

Dans la presse

Louis Leroy, pastelliste, paysagiste, graveur, écrivain, qui expose au Salon de 1835 à 1881 dans un style proche de lécole de Barbizon, qui est également l'auteur de pièces comiques à succès, collabore depuis trente ans au Charivari. Il est célèbre pour avoir créé dans ce journal le néologisme « impressionnisme » au terme d'une mise en scène dialoguée reconstituant sa propre visite, parue le  qui commence ainsi :

La charge comique du journaliste du Charivari sur l'impressionnisme est fondée non seulement sur l'intitulé du tableau de Monet Impression, soleil levant, mais sur d'autres tableaux. À partir de là, le Tout-Paris  ne parle plus que d'impressionnisme et d'impressionnistes, et c'est sous ce vocable que connaîtront la gloire : Manet, considéré comme le chef de cette jeune école avec laquelle il n'expose d'ailleurs pas, Monet, Alfred Sisley, Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt, Renoir, Pissarro, Cézanne, Armand Guillaumin, Degas, en France, mais surtout à l'étranger : aux États-Unis, ils seront appréciés, reconnus et achetés beaucoup plus tôt qu'en France, grâce à l'action de Mary Cassatt auprès de collectionneurs comme les Havemeyer.

Leroy n'est d'ailleurs pas le seul à avoir utilisé le terme « impression » ou ses susbtantifs proches lors de la première exposition : Philippe Burty dans La République française, parle lui de la « qualité des impressions ». Jules-Antoine Castagnary dans  Le Siècle, adopte aussi le terme impression qu'il reprend de Leroy. Émile Cardon dans  La Presse  ironise : « Piquez au hasard des taches rouges ou bleues, vous aurez une impression ». Il n'y a cependant pas de génération spontanée en 1874 dans l'emploi de ce mot : il est depuis longtemps au centre des conversations de la jeune école, et déjà Corot recommandait en 1863, de ne jamais perdre de vue « l'impression qui nous a ému . »

Les « impressionnistes » de l'exposition de 1874 n'ont pas que des détracteurs. Ils ont aussi des défenseurs comme Ernest d'Hervilly qui écrit, dans Le Rappel du  « On ne saurait trop encourager cette entreprise hardie, depuis longremps conseillée par tous les critiques et tous les amateurs ». Léon de Lora (pseudonyme de Alexandre Pothey) souligne dans Le Gaulois du , « l'intérêt du Déjeuner sur l'herbe de Monet, un déjeuner sur l'herbe peint d'après nature mais où le réalisme n'a rien que de fort attrayant, et une esquisse brillante du Boulevard des Capucines ». Pour ce même auteur, Le Bac de l'île de la Loge, inondation par Alfred Sisley est un des plus excellents paysages . Jean Prouvais à son tour, le  dans Le Rappel  dit de l'exposition « qu'il y a là une entreprise audacieuse, qui à ce titre, aurait droit à nos sympathies (...) » et continue de défendre Les Coquelicots de Monet (1873), alors intitulé Promenade dans les blés qui « mêle heureusement les chapeaux fleuris des femmes aux coquelicots rouges des blés ». Jules Castagnary, bien qu'il confonde Manet et Monet ne tarit pas d'éloges sur « les emportements de main de Mr Monet qui font merveille » dans Le Siècle. À son tour, Ernest Chesneau, tout en confondant Manet et Monet rend hommage à la fois au déjeuner sur l'herbe et à « l'animation prodigieuse de la voix publique, le fourmillement de la foule sur l'asphalte [...] que Monet a réussi dans Boulevard des Capucines. »

L'exposition et ses peintres vus par les caricaturistes

L'exposition a donc suscité la polémique, ce qui entraîne un nombre sensible de visiteurs à s'y rendre : elle fournit un sujet en or aux dessinateurs humoristiques de l'époque, à un moment où la caricature de mœurs a supplanté la caricature politique.

Les principaux périodiques illustrés sont alors, outre Le Charivari, le Journal amusant , Le Monde pour rire, La Lune , Le Tintamarre, La Vie parisienne et bien d'autres. Parmi les dessinateurs qui raillent avec plus ou moins de bonheur les peintres et leurs tableaux, on trouve Bertall, Cham, André Gill, Draner, Stop, Albert Robida, et plus tard Caran d'Ache.

Manet est leur tête de Turc préférée : son Jésus insulté par des soldats devient « le bain de pieds d'un vieux chiffonnier qui n'en a jamais pris. »

Le caricaturiste Cham, qui fait souvent rire à propos des peintres dits impressionnistes a donné une de ses caricatures parue probablement dans Le Charivari, auquel il contribuait régulièrement. En haut du dessin on peut lire sur une affiche « Exposition des impressionnistes », et on voit les deux visiteurs qui semblent terrifiés à la vue « des peintures impressionnistes ».

Mais les impressionnistes ont aussi des soutiens parmi les caricaturistes. En particulier Toulouse-Lautrec qui, bien plus tard, vengera ses amis peintres en caricaturant ceux du Salon officiel dans La Revue blanche.

Nadar relouera le 35 boulevard des Capucines par le biais de Paul Durand-Ruel lors de la sixième exposition dites des impressionnistes du  avril au .
