Gela

Gela (Greek: Ghélas), in southern Sicily, was a Greek colony founded c. 689 BCE and it remained an important cultural centre throughout antiquity. Prospering on trade and expanding its territory, the city-state founded Agrigento. In the 5th century BCE the tyrant Gelon reigned with success but the end of that century brought attacks and destruction by Carthage. The city revived thanks to the Corinthian general Timoleon but was destroyed in 282 BCE by Phintias, ironically the tyrant of Agrigento.

Foundation

Gela is located on a long and low hill running parallel to the Mediterranean sea on the southern coast of Sicily. The first settlements in the area date back to the copper age (2800-2170 BCE) with the town of Gela being founded c. 689 BCE by Greek colonists from Rhodes and Crete, amongst whom were Antifemo of Rhodes and Entimo of Crete. The town was initially called Lindioi and then changed to Gela shortly afterwards after the nearby river.

The foundation of Gela was one of the most daring enterprises of Greek colonization in Sicily because it took possession of the island's southern coast, dangerous for the presence of the important indigenous Sicanian and Siculis centres. When the Rhodium-Cretans landed they reduced the local people to the servile state (except perhaps the women they took as wives in the first two generations), occupied the plains and the surrounding hills, and merged the indigenous culture with their own.

Magical witches for Bella Donna and Gela! These both took me two goes… im most happy with Gela because clowns just spark my inspiration

Bella Donna is mostly inspired by shells and the birth of venus painting. It was hard to mix the bright syringes with such a delicate feeling outfit so i decided to make them more organic. Her appearance might change later but we’ll see

Gela’s challenge for me was working out what to do with her body… but i think she looks very fun in the end, doesnt she? The real witch is inside, her ‘faces’ are just a mask. Shes actually a demon

La llengua de signes catalana: llengua o modalitat?

Marta Vinardell-Maristany / GELA / vilaweb.cat Tenim a la nostra biblioteca mundial diversos llibres, articles i altres documents que parlen de l’educació de les persones sordes i les llengües de signes existents al món; en trobem les referències més antigues ja a l’antic Egipte (cap al 3100 aC), que tingué una cultura avançadíssima: en unes escriptures de papir trobades en tombes egípcies…

Esigue radici nel loro irrobustirsi scavano, si propagano, si moltiplicano mentre assorbono dalla terra ogni sostanza indispensabile per lo sviluppo del proprio tronco, sostanza che diverrà eterna poiché ne caratterizzerà il midollo, rendendolo unico in ogni luogo nel quale esso deciderà di fissare la propria dimora.
