Let’s start by answering the main question: what is What’s happened? What’s happened is a small adventure, a university project, an opportunity. The opportunity to dedicate a part of our present to take back some of the past times. What better way to do it, if not in the great stories behind our backs, trying to pull the wires of the most elegant and representative embroidery? We have decided to reserve for Art those moments that Art itself, constantly and entirely, gives us back with full hands.

Starting from this Sunday, in the Sundays to come, the date of this non-working day will be more important than ever and will be enriched by an episode that happened on the same day but in a different year. What’s happened will become the tale of a day, adorned with an event involving an artist, a work of art or a crucial and decisive moment for Art history.

Words that tell of well-known artists and extraordinary masterpieces but also about the less-known ones, suggesting cues for reflection and curiosity, precious anecdotes, unique and sometimes bizarre episodes that a keen rhapsody will knit – from week to week – intertwining distant languages, cultures, and epochs.

This Sunday, September 17, we will start with a surprising woman and artist who, in her life, lived every moment and every feeling passionately, from the most ardent love to the darkest despair. Born in Coyoacán at the beginning of the ‘900, she became a global icon, a symbol of an uncompromising and determined personality, a source of inspiration and courage.

What else can we add? Till Sunday!
