As remember Chris Cornell today, I wanted to share this image; it’s from the last photo shoot Chris did just prior to his death in 2017.

•

“This unquestionably unique Cryptograph is titled ‘The Last Session’ are an intimate portrayal of Chris Cornell that would ultimately prove to be the rock icon’s final photoshoot.” When Chris arrived at Randall’s studio in 2017, no one knew that this momentous shoot would be his last. Slavin was also a longtime friend of Cornell’s.

This image has been titled ‘Until We Disappear’.

"To think that Armenian people are in jeopardy once again is heartbreaking." ~ Oscar Isaac

Cardi B, John Boyega, Cher and Kim Kardashian are also speaking out on two international crises: fighting that threatens a majority Armenian population in Nagorno-Karabakh and police brutality in Nigeria.

While scores of major players in Hollywood keep their focus on the U.S. election, a number of celebrities are spotlighting two crises overseas: one, the armed conflict between ethnic Armenian and Azerbaijani forces over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh; the other, protests against ongoing police brutality in Nigeria.

In Africa's most populous country, young Nigerians have been out in force, marching against police shootings in their oil-rich country in what is known as the #EndSars movement, a push to do away with the government's Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS). In 1992 SARS was established to fight armed robbery in the capital city of Lagos. The group was later folded into Nigeria's national police to combat armed criminals, but according to Amnesty International, they started violating Nigerian citizens' rights, targeting mostly young people.

On Oct. 20, in a violent response by the government, at least 12 Nigerians were killed by soldiers during a peaceful protest at the Lekki Toll Gate, according to Amnesty International. D.J. Switch was livestreaming the protests on her Instagram page when the shooting at the Toll Gate happened. "I'm heartbroken. There was no warning. We just heard gunshots and the soldiers came in guns blazing. They were just shooting like we were goats and chickens," she told CNN.

Among the stars who have spoken out about the lethal crackdowns are Rihanna (who tweeted, "My heart is broken for Nigeria"), Cardi B (“If your people are complaining and are tired about the police, then bro, get that sh** fixed,” she said in a video on her social media), Beyoncé and John Boyega.

Filmmaker Nzinga Christine Blake tells THR that "it's wonderful to see that Hollywood is [standing] in solidarity with a new generation that is calling for an end to police brutality — just like the social justice movement we are seeing in the United States. This isn't a political issue — this is a human issue." And Queen Sono star Pearl Thusi has been sharing pictures and videos of the brutality in Nigeria on her Instagram page. She recently wrote, "NIGERIA: PEACEFUL PROTESTORS SHOT BY THE POLICE! Please share this clip and any clip of dj switch recorded LIVE to ALL AND ANY media outlets and people of influence who can help spread the word and make a difference!!!"

In early October, the protesters released a list of five demands that includes immediate release of all arrested protesters; an independent body to investigate and prosecute police misconduct within 10 days of a claim; and "justice for all deceased victims of police brutality and appropriate compensation for their families."

At the same time, stars continue to bring attention to the strife between ethnic Armenians and Azerbaijani forces in Nagorno-Karabakh (which broke out Sept. 27), where an estimated half of the population has been displaced by fighting that has taken the lives of hundreds to perhaps 5,000 people, depending on reports. The area's historical name is Artsakh, and around 150,000 ethnic Armenians populate it. Although it's recognized internationally as part of Azerbaijan, ethnic Armenians control it. So far, a string of ceasefires has failed to halt fighting.

Armenian American celebrities Cher and Kim Kardashian West have been vocal supporters of Armenia and its people amid the conflict — calling on the U.S. to intervene — with Kardashian West pledging $1 million to the humanitarian Armenia Fund. Eric Esrailian — a producer of the 2016 film The Promise (which looks at the Armenian genocide of the early 20th century) and founder of The Promise Institute for Human Rights at UCLA — tells THR that "the situation is unfortunately becoming a humanitarian catastrophe for Armenians in this region." Says The Promise star Oscar Isaac, "To think that Armenian people are in jeopardy once again is heartbreaking."

In recent days, Armenian Americans have continued to hold large demonstrations in Los Angeles in support of Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh. “I am devastated to hear about what has been happening to Armenians right now. Dr. Esrailian and his team fought so hard to get the Armenian Genocide recognized around the world using The Promise, and it is horrible to think that Armenians may be in danger of another genocide. I hope government leaders in the world use their influence to prevent further tragedy and loss of life," actress and activist Laura Dern tells The Hollywood Reporter.

Esrailian hopes for a peaceful resolution that recognizes the right to self-determination for the Armenian people of Artsakh. "This region has been kind of an ancestral homeland for Armenians for literally thousands of years," he says.

Shout Armenia Wherever You Go

http://agcfresno.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Shout-Armenia-full-essay.pdf

Today marks 104 years since the start of the Armenian Genocide. Around 1.5 million lives were lost, and the survivors, the lucky ones, scattered around the globe. Over a century later, fewer than 30 countries recognize the Genocide, and there are more Armenians in the Diaspora than in Armenia.

As descendants of the survivors, the tragedy lives on through us. We speak for those who couldn’t speak for themselves. We mourn the ones who were lost, and seek their justice. We’re still here. We exist. And we shout Armenia wherever we go.

Um ano se passou apos sua morte, mas o sentimento de dor continua o mesmo. Nunca esquecerei de você, Chris.

R.I.P Chris Cornell ♥

One year ago today, the world lost #ChrisCornell. This morning, my brain keeps replaying how the text messages rolled in that day from my friends. No context, just “I’m so sorry, Tori” because they knew. Even a man I’d stopped seeing two months earlier reached out. He knew. This is still a hard loss for me to accept. Chris was and is one of my favorite musicians and biggest musical influences, and once I realized I wanted to pursue music journalism, I always hoped I’d have a chance to interview Chris one day. I still have the outline of the story I wanted to write and the questions I wanted to ask him. Instead of interviewing Chris, last year, I sadly wrote an essay about the pain of his passing. If you would like to read it, the link is in my bio. Loud love to you all. ... ... #chriscornell #soundgarden #musician #seattle #restinpeace #rip #chriscornellforever #keepthepromise #musicjournalism #musicjournalist #essay #musicwriter #writing #loudlove #writer #journalism

Episode 8 #Genocide from my YouTube docu-series Armenian American. April 24 is the day we remember 1.5 Million Armenians who were systematically slaughtered by the Turks, including my great great grandfather who had his head chopped off and his body dragged around the city for everyone to see as they took out all the community leaders and walked the helpless women, children, and elderly across the Syrian desert to die. You are gone but not forgotten 🙏 and we are still fighting for the day where America officially recognizes this atrocity as a Genocide ⚫️ . . . . . . #April24 #Armenia #Armenian #ArmenianGenocide #Hope #Genocide #Turkey #America #Syria #Memorial #Remember #NeverForget #Documentary #YouTube #CNN #Yerevan #Hye #MightyHye #Flame #Hayastan #American #ThePromise #KeepThePromise (at Tsitsernakaberd)
