To hear more audio stories from publications like The New York Times, download Audm for iPhone or Android . I heard about the gay beach the way I hear about all the good gay things: Through a lover, an ex-lover, my ex-lover’s new love. A warm mouth pressed against my ear on the dance floor, a dropped pin, an Instagram D.M. The murmurs were about a queer nude beach nestled along the coast of Oaxaca. It took a full day and a half to get there, flying first into Mexico City and then catching a shorter flight toward the Pacific. When I landed, I got into a taxi with a few other folks heading to the beach. The driver looked at me sideways. “Esta es tu primera vez?” “Sí,” I replied. “Por qué Zipolite?” I hadn’t quite figured that part out yet, not enough to explain it. I shrugged. He shook his head and drove with his knees so he could use both hands to pantomime hordes of tourists attacking the dry countryside. Behind his miming, the windshield of the car was cracked in … [Read more...] about Want to Love Your Body? Try Swimming Naked.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 18 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Scattered in crates, dirty and difficult to read, the gospel music of composer Charles Henry Pace sat packed away, unorganized — and unrealized — for more than 20 years. Frances Pace Barnes, the pioneering music publisher’s daughter who remembers how he could turn a hum it into a song, knew the crates held pieces of her family’s past. But she was not expecting those decaying printing plates and papers to reveal an important part of gospel music history. “I didn’t know it was going to be a legacy,” said Pace Barnes. As it turns out, her father was one of the first African American gospel music composers in the United States, and the owner of one of the country’s first independent, Black gospel music publishing companies. Today, the University of Pittsburgh is restoring … [Read more...] about Pioneer of gospel music rediscovered in Pittsburgh archives

MEXICO CITY — Art fairs are full of galleries with dreams of launching the art world’s next big thing. Exhibitors pack their booths with work by promising newcomers and talk them up relentlessly, hoping they will break through with the collectors and critics who wander the aisles. Proyectos Monclova of Mexico City takes a different approach. Instead of banking on the future, it invests in the past, bringing to fairs artists who made their reputations decades ago in Mexico and whose careers it says it believes are ready for a turn in the international spotlight. Alongside all those potential stars of tomorrow on display at this year’s Art Basel Hong Kong are Proyectos Monclova’s lineup of colorful, geometric weavings by 87-year-old Eduardo Terrazas — famous for being a co-designer of the 1968 Mexico City Olympics poster , with its psychedelic black-and-white lettering and rainbow-inspired rings — and stone carvings by Ángela Gurría , a central figure of Mexican Modernism who … [Read more...] about A Century of Mexican Creativity at Art Basel Hong Kong
