Lionel Messi’s time in Miami has already reshaped the city’s soccer culture, and his latest season added another layer to the story. Inter Miami reached a milestone they chased since the day the club launched. The team captured their first MLS Cup, ending the season with a level of energy that Miami fans rarely see in domestic soccer. Messi played a central part, creating scoring chances, guiding teammates through high pressure moments, and showing why he still changes games even as he enters the later stages of his career. His recent decision to extend his time with the club adds stability. Miami supporters spent months wondering how long his stay would last. Now they know the connection isn’t temporary. This commitment holds weight for the club and the city because he remains one of the most influential athletes on the planet. The MVP award he just earned made that clear.

During Art Week, Miami always attracts spectacle. Celebrity parties, DJ sets, beachside installations, and pop-up galleries fight for attention. This year, one experience cut through the noise: Mirage Factory, an immersive art installation created by renowned visual artist Alex Prager inside a repurposed vintage movie theater in Miami. Rather than a typical gallery show, Mirage Factory blurred the line between art installation, film set, fashion event, and nightlife hangout. Visitors didn’t walk into a white room filled with framed pieces. They stepped into a living Hollywood fantasy, rebuilt inside a Miami space that once projected movies instead of stage dreams. The result captured perfectly what Miami culture does best. It layered nostalgia, glamour, spectacle, and social energy into a single place where people could move through art rather than just stand and look at it. Who Is Alex Prager And Why Her Work Fits Miami Perfectly Alex Prager is well
By: Talia Rosenberg When Anna Olswanger first began working with Rabbi Rafael Grossman in the early 1980s, she had no idea that a story he shared in passing would follow her across decades and eventually become the heart of a graphic novel. Their collaboration had begun as a much larger project. Together, they were shaping a Holocaust novel featuring a character inspired by the rabbi’s cousin, a leader of the Jewish resistance in the Bialystok ghetto. While outlining the story, Rabbi Grossman mentioned an experience he had in 1965 during a visit to the Soviet Union, when he met a young boy who had never left the room where he was born. The detail was so powerful that Anna and the rabbi included it in their draft. They managed to complete about one hundred pages before his other obligations pulled him away, and the unfinished manuscript retreated into storage. Years

Art Basel Miami Beach officially opened on December 4, 2025, pulling the global art spotlight back to South Florida. The Miami Beach Convention Center filled with collectors, artists, curators, media crews, celebrities, and students all moving through a maze of gallery booths stacked with paintings, sculptures, photography, and installations. For Miami, this week works like an annual cultural reset. Traffic slows near the beach, hotel lobbies buzz nonstop, and pop up shows appear everywhere from storefront galleries to rooftop lounges. More than 280 galleries from over 40 countries arrived this year. Some focused on museum level artwork with price tags that rival waterfront homes. Others showcased rising artists known primarily through regional scenes or digital platforms. That range defines Basel’s Miami edition. It balances prestige with discovery. Longtime collectors attend to secure blue chip artworks. First time visitors come to soak up creativity and atmosphere. Local artists view it as
How Art Basel Became Miami’s Signature Event Art Basel Miami Beach started as a satellite of the original Swiss fair but quickly grew into something unique. Every December, Miami Beach turns into a meeting point for artists, collectors, and everyday visitors who want to see what’s new in contemporary art. This year’s edition features 283 galleries from 43 countries. That scale matters because it shows how Miami isn’t just hosting an event—it’s part of the global art conversation. For locals, it means access to work that might otherwise only be seen in New York, London, or Paris. For visitors, it’s a chance to experience Miami’s culture alongside international creativity. The fair also highlights Miami’s own role as a creative hub. Local galleries and artists are showcased alongside international names, giving the city’s talent a platform that reaches far beyond Florida. What Visitors Can Expect This Year The Miami Beach Convention
By: Elena Duarte Hayes With Cinematic Destinies, well-known author and sociologist Patricia Leavy concludes her Red Carpet Romance trilogy with the same emotional warmth, intellectual depth, and artistic curiosity that have defined the series from the beginning. What started as a single novel written during the uncertainty of global lockdown has unfolded into a sweeping, 30-year narrative about love, identity, art, and the quiet, transformative moments that make up a life. For Leavy, the trilogy’s power lies not in its glamour or its cinematic backdrop, but in its heartbeat: a family navigating the universal challenges of becoming who they are meant to be. A Trilogy Shaped by Sociology and Storytelling Leavy’s background as a sociologist is deeply imprinted on the trilogy. Her training equips her to observe life simultaneously at the macro and micro levels—a dual vision that shapes the emotional architecture of her novels. “As a sociologist, I’m predisposed
By: Maya Thorne Lorelei Brush’s Chasing The American Dream: A Novel transports readers to 1955, a time of post-war optimism intertwined with Cold War paranoia, as it follows David, a former OSS operative, in his pursuit of justice against a Nazi war criminal hiding in plain sight. But beyond the historical intrigue, Brush’s novel is deeply personal, rooted in her own family history, and explores themes of identity, disillusionment, and the evolving meaning of the American dream. The inspiration for the novel came from an unexpected source: her father. “My father was a furious man and aimed his strong feelings toward everyone in his orbit,” Brush recalls. “He claimed to have wanted to be a doctor but was unable to afford it, yearned to be an entrepreneur but couldn’t bring a small engine company out of near-bankruptcy, and had sworn never to have children.” Growing up, Brush did her best
How the Match Opened and Why the Early Goal Changed Everything Ajax’s meeting with Benfica started at a fast pace inside the Johan Cruyff Arena. The home crowd expected the usual possession control, but Benfica struck before Ajax had time to settle. The opening goal came from Samuel Dahl, who finished with power in the sixth minute. Aftonbladet described the strike by writing that Dahl “dundrade in sitt första Champions League mål” and added that the moment “banade vägen för tre poäng” which means the goal helped set up the three points for Benfica. The match report appears through Aftonbladet’s coverage of Dahl’s early finish. Ajax tried to regain control by keeping the ball. Their passes moved across midfield as they attempted to find patterns, but nothing came easily. When a team trails early, the rhythm can break quickly. Ajax began pushing forward without the sharpness they needed. The missed
By: Bill Brodie Dutch singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Harry Kappen opens his album FOUR with one of his most emotionally resonant releases to date. “The Longing” is a sweeping, dynamically structured rock track that blends introspective songwriting with bold instrumental flair — a combination that has become a defining signature of Kappen’s recent artistic evolution. Already known for tackling themes ranging from personal courage to global unrest, Kappen turns inward this time, delivering a single that examines the timeless conflict between heart and mind through a cinematic, genre-bending lens. From its first moments, “The Longing” establishes an atmosphere of intimacy. A soft acoustic guitar roots the song in vulnerability, giving Kappen space to deliver one of his most personal vocal performances. His voice carries a weathered warmth, full of lived experience and quiet self-interrogation. “Sometimes my brain’s on fire,” he sings, articulating a kind of emotional overload that feels familiar

By: Clara Donovan Middle-grade readers looking for a story that blends adventure, history, and the supernatural will find a thrilling escape in Jake C. Rudquist’s We’re All Dead Here. Told from the unique perspective of ghosts, the novel asks a question that’s both eerie and compelling: what would you do if you were twelve and suddenly became a ghost? Rudquist, drawing on his own childhood love of reading, created a book designed to captivate younger audiences while still offering enjoyment for adults. “I wrote it for middle-grade readers because that was the age I most loved reading,” he says. “But I also made it interesting enough for adults, so it can be shared across generations.” One of the book’s strengths is its ability to engage readers on multiple levels. Parents who want to inspire a love of reading are advised to let children choose their own books. “It doesn’t have
