From today's featured article
Wintjiya Napaltjarri (c. 1923–1934 – 2014) was an Indigenous artist from Australia's Western Desert region. Wintjiya's involvement in contemporary Indigenous Australian art began in 1994 at Haasts Bluff (pictured) when she participated in a group painting project and in the creation of batik fabrics. She was also a printmaker, using drypoint etching. Her paintings typically use an iconography that represents the eggs of the flying ant (waturnuma) and hair-string skirts (nyimparra). Her palette generally involves strong red or black against a white background. A finalist in the 2007 and 2008 National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Awards, Wintjiya's work is held in several of Australia's public collections, including the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, the National Gallery of Australia, and the National Gallery of Victoria. Her work is also held in the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection of the University of Virginia. (Full article...)

The 14th Dalai Lama (born 6 July 1935), also known by the spiritual name Tenzin Gyatso, is the incumbent Dalai Lama, the highest spiritual leader and head of Tibetan Buddhism. He served as the resident spiritual and temporal leader of Tibet before the 1959 Tibetan uprising against the Chinese annexation of Tibet, when he escaped from Tibet to India. Subsequently, he led the Tibetan government-in-exile, represented by the Central Tibetan Administration in Dharamshala, India. A belief central to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, as well as the institution of the Dalai Lama, is that he is a living bodhisattva, specifically an emanation of Avalokiteśvara (in Sanskrit) or Chenrezig (in Tibetan), the Bodhisattva of Compassion. This photograph of the Dalai Lama was taken in 2012. Photograph credit: Christopher Michel
