However frightening the state of the world at the moment, and whatever amount of comfort we might the arts go marching on and continue their quest to bring tolerance and understanding to a world fools for leaders. So whether you want to contemplate paintings, examine sculptures, listen to music read books or attend workshops why not follow your art and come join us as we follow sidetracks and detours away from the terrors of the news, and become better equipped to help those in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst we feel very fortunate to enjoy such a thriving arts scene here on Lanzarote we realise that the same can be said of arts around the world, and indeed we learn of an arts exhibition running over the next month on mainland Spain. The inauguration took place on Saturday 26th<\/sup> February of Scenic Boxes by Federico Romeguera at the Adsubian that will run until 26th<\/sup> March, and copuld well be of interest to not only those of our readers who live in the region but also thos who are within traveling distance from Lanzarote or have holidays booked in this part of the world in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have been notified by Steve Bewick, a jazz eadio presenter in the UK of his programme scheduled throughout week commencing Monday 28th February. So, readers in the Greater Manchester area of the United Kingdom looking for jazz events in their neck of the woods might like to listen in to the weekly broadcasts of the Hot Biscuits jazz show featuring extracts from live and exclusive, and often local, sessions This week\u00b4s  show shares the Creative Space<\/a>, Slug and Lettice, and features the Richard Iles<\/a> Quartet including, Nik Svarc<\/a>, Jamil Sheriff<\/a>, Gary Jackson & Eryl Roberts<\/a>. The show also includes a selection of new CD’s. and tracks from Nisha Smith, Edison Herbert, Lara Jones, Han-Earl Park & Neils Lans Dorky. If this sounds interesting share the word and tune in 24\/7 for our new weekly shows starting Mondays at www.mixcloud.com\/stevebewick\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I know how long it takes me to collate all the news here and put into some sort of cohesion I feel certain that Rob Adams, jazz writer and compiler of the Music That\u00b4s Going Places jazz listings, must surely have a handful of secretaries and a score of  staff, \u2026 surely !? He couldn\u00b4t possibly have put together all the information that arrived in my e mail tray this morning,\u2026.. that\u00b4s an industry more than a hobby !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His listings for March arrived, of course, just as I completed the pages above, so I\u00b4ll include them here for our UK readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keyboard master Paul Harrison (left)<\/em><\/strong> brings his new all-star trio, Team Talk to Jazz at St James on Saturday 5th<\/a>. Paul’s talents on piano and as a creator of new electronic sounds are equally impressive and Team Talk features another keyboard where he really shines, the Hammond B-3 organ. Nowadays these veritable beasts’ legendary tones can be contained in a micro chip that gives the real-deal experience and with the mighty Alyn Cosker on drums and Norman Willmore, whose debut album, Live from the Muckle Roe Hall created quite a stir on its release last year, on alto, this is sure to be a grooving, involving session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

New Focus duo. (right)<\/em><\/strong> pianist Euan Stevenson and saxophonist Konrad Wiszniewski’s return to gigging in October was a real treat. Despite their enforced inactivity, their Classical Connection exploration of the common ground between Miles and Mozart, Duke and Debussy and Satie and Bill Evans has grown in strength and stature. They take it to Nairn on Saturday 12th<\/a> and Hawick on the afternoon of Sunday 20th<\/a>. Anyone who has been enjoying Konrad’s passionate playing with the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra recently can expect more of the same, along with Euan’s brilliantly assured pianism and superbly well researched and wittily informative commentaries.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Making his Jazz at St James debut on Saturday 26th<\/a>, Alan Benzie (left) renews his Piano Playlist with a new trio featuring bassist Ewan Hastie and drummer Stephen Henderson, from the Fergus McCreadie Trio. Alan’s enthusiasm for his favourite pianists – including Fred Hersch, Marcin Wasilewski, Brad Mehldau, John Taylor, Aaron Parks and Jacob Karlzon – is matched by his mastery of their idiosyncratic styles. Plus, that’s a great rhythm team he has hired. <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Coming up in April: Jazz at the Merchants House in Glasgow (right) returns with a series of monthly concerts, beginning with violinist Tim Kliphuis’ trio on Sunday 3rd<\/a>. Fergus McCreadie launches his third album with concerts in Edinburgh<\/a> and London<\/a> (and more). And a new duo of great Scottish talents makes its first appearance for International Jazz Day. More on all of these next month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have already seen nearly twenty musical events and visited a number of visual arts exhibitions in 2022. We have even followed guided walks and talks to review here in the arts and culture section of Lanzarote Information. Since lockdowns lifted here on Lanzarote many measures and protocols have been eased and the arts (and we who love the arts) have been grateful beneficiaries of those moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music is our first love here in the office, and regular readers will know how thrilled we have been by the many concerts we have already seen this year. We are pleased to say that a Cabildo release from press officer Miguel. Ferrer landed in our in e-mail  box on Saturday 26th<\/sup> February, and after only 3 hours of translating via google and reordering into categories and date chronology etc, I am just poised to press \u00b4send\u00b4 to Miguel at the editor\u00b4s desk for his consideration, and with any luck you\u00b4ll be reading this (in your thousands) sometime in week commencing Monday 28th<\/sup> February and should be able to enter all the dates into your march diary,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our own music itinerary for this month begins at  CIC El Almac\u00e9n to hear LAJALADA, on Saturday 5th<\/sup> March<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This will give us us the singer and composer Bel\u00e9n A. Doreste, shaping her new project, Lajalada, (left)<\/em><\/strong> a more electronic adventure than her previous musical experience (Bel Bee Bee), with passages and songs written in English and Spanish.  After having stepped on different stages and devigorating, reinventing and rethinking certain themes, in 2021 they present the first album: “DM\u00d1NNS” (dema\u00f1ananos\u00e9), a creative work that without many resources tries to open 360\u00ba, take care of the sound plane, the aesthetic plane, and the visual journey that will accompany the presentation of each of the 10 tracks that make up the album.  For the live show, Bel\u00e9n is accompanied by Ner Su\u00e1rez, Octavio Limi\u00f1ana, Alberto Rodr\u00edguez and Francisco Navarro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you still have blank evenings in your diary that you are waiting to fill, then you might like to consider something else on offer from the music scene later in the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

At the same venue of Cic El Almacen on Saturday 25th<\/sup> March at 8.00 pm there will be a seventy five minute performance  by Carmen Boza (right)<\/em><\/strong> beginning at 8.00 pm with tickets available at only 10 euros, available for booking at www.culturalanzarote.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carmen Boza is a composer, guitarist, producer and singer born in La L\u00ednea de la Concepci\u00f3n (C\u00e1diz). Her music is nourished by her strong link with the guitar, which she has been exploring since she was 15 years old. The interest in many proposals of the so-called commercial music, as well as in many other projects of a more alternative nature, leads to the torrent of influences that can be seen in the compositions of the Cadiz. The singer-songwriter is considered one of the most interesting Spanish female proposals and with more projection in recent years.  Carmen began her musical career by uploading videos to the YouTube platform where, little by little, she was consolidating a large audience base that today follows in her footsteps wherever she goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visual Arts Exhibitions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Many of you will already know that Cic El Almacen is, typically of a Manrique design, a charismatic and versatile venue capable of serving as host to a number of art forms. So it is no surprise that other than those music events already mentioned March will also be a month for a number of arts exhibitions, an example of which will be Charlas ARTE Y EST\u00c9TICA, presented by our favourite arts-guide Estefan\u00eda Camejo (left<\/em><\/strong>) on 7, 14, 21 y 28 marzo at 6.00 pm and open to all members of the public for a ninety minute presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The four part programme includes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* 07 marzo_18 h. “La expresi\u00f3n art\u00edstica. The innate need of homo sapiens” *<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14 marzo_18 h. “Reaching divinity. Longing for the monumental artistic creation of the first civilizations” *<\/p>\n\n\n\n

21 marzo_18 h. “The symbolism of light in Medieval Art” *<\/p>\n\n\n\n

28 marzo_18 h. “The revolution of the intellectual artist of the fifteenth century”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting from the premise of the need to explain and publicize the theoretical foundation that is associated with the artistic experience itself and the contemporary culture in which we live, this cycle of talks proposes an approach to the main concepts, postulates, principles and ideas linked to Aesthetics and the way of understanding the artistic fact,  from the informative perspective of the History of Art and thought, thus enabling both the knowledge and the analysis of the processes of meaning and interpretation of the artistic expressions of the past and the present<\/p>\n\n\n\n

nother thopught provoking exhibition to look forward to is by DANIEL MORDZINSKI. \u201cNavegantes en la balsa de piedra\u201d celebrates the centenary of Jos\u00e9 Saramago (1922-2022) at the Casa de la Cultura Agust\u00edn de la Hoz – Arrecife<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From March 11 to May 28 All public Admission: free, until full capacity (limited according to regulations and Covid19 measures) Schedules: Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.; Saturdays, from 10.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m. Closed on Sundays and holidays. Organised by: Cultura Lanzarote – Cabildo de Lanzarote Collaborates: Arrecife City Council, Saramago Foundation, T\u00edas City Council, Canary Islands Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this exhibition by the artist Daniel Mordzinski, designed and projected expressly for the programming of the Centenary of Saramago in Lanzarote, the Argentine photographer transits and becomes an emblematic interlocutor who enables dialogue between the Portuguese and Hispanic worlds and does so on a stone raft, in which the faces of the writers who inhabit his designed great island of cultural Iberism metaphorically navigate,  where literature and photography come together and merge forever in the memory of Saramago<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guided visits to the exhibition with Estefan\u00eda Camejo:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday 12 March at 12.00 h.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday 26 March at 12.00 noon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday 5 April at 18.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday 23 April at 12.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday 10 May at 18.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday 21 May at 12.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An exhibition by  \u00c1NGEL GUERRA, UN ESCRITOR DE LANZAROTE, has been commissioned by Comisariada por Zebensu\u00ed Rodr\u00edguez and Pepe Betancort for the Convento de Santo Domingo – Teguise<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition runs until March 20, 2022 and audiences admission is \u00b4free until full\u00b4 with capacity limited according to Regulations and Covid19 measures.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schedules: Sunday to Friday from 10.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m.; Saturdays and holidays closed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The writer, journalist and Canarian politician, \u00c1ngel Guerra, literary pseudonym of Jos\u00e9 Betancort Cabrera, will be the subject of a retrospective exhibition that seeks to publicize, disseminate and value the significant and committed literary career of this writer born in Teguise in 1874 and died in Madrid in 1950, author of texts as outstanding as La Lapa,  Al jallo, A merced del viento, El Justicia del llano, etc. The curatorship will be in charge of the philologists Zebensu\u00ed Rodr\u00edguez and Pepe Betancort, together with the creativity and exhibition design of Carmen Corujo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another exhibition that sounds very interesting is FUERA DE JUEGO that includes work by Carmela Garc\u00eda, Noelia Villena, Acaymo S. Cuesta, Sara GDM y Antonio Manuel Dom\u00ednguez, commissioned by  Adonay Berm\u00fadez<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Admission will be granted on the same conditions as above to this collaboration of Pancho Lasso School of Art and Municipalities of T\u00edas and Har\u00eda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be shown at Sala de Arte \u201cEl Aljibe\u201d de Har\u00eda, the beautiful basement gallery in the gardens opposit the town hall in H. We have a review of the town in a forthcoming article that will tell you how the little town has so much atmospheric beauty to offer, to enjoy when you visit the exhibition that runs until 2nd<\/sup> April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exhibition project, curated by Adonay Berm\u00fadez, is an artistic proposal that explores the machismo entrenched in society and, specifically, in sport, through plastic and visual works of public denunciation that seek and expose feminist formulas that show situations of inequality in different sports contexts. In this way, we stumble upon readings that dialogue about the lack of voice of women in football (Carmela Garc\u00eda), hatred and violence towards women athletes in social networks (Acaymo S. Cuesta), the relationships between women, sport and motherhood (Noelia Villena), the links between women and football (Sara GDM) or the prevailing dominance of men in sport (Manuel Antonio Dom\u00ednguez).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guided visits to the exhibition with Estefan\u00eda Camejo: Saturday March 5 at 12.00 h. Sala El Aljibe de Har\u00eda<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly intriguing will be \u201cMOVIMIENTO Y DIRECCI\u00d3N DE FUGA. ACLIMATACI\u00d3N I\u201d that brings together Gabriela Bettini, Liliana Zapata, Manuel Diego S\u00e1nchez y Racso Zehcnas in an exhibition commissioned by Dalia de la Rosa. This, too, is being shown at Sala El Aljibe  CIC El Almac\u00e9n un til 30th April and is open with free admission to the public, with covid portocols<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 This exhibition project, curated by Dalia de la Rosa, presents us with an artistic discourse that investigates the processes of adaptation of foreign elements in a specific place through dislocations that break layers that affect identity processes or sedimentations that erase spaces to create new places in which fragile provisional balance occurs in the form of acclimatization. This is how we see it in the new forms of mobility on the territory that were generated from the gold rush in the United States through the audiovisual piece by Manuel Diego S\u00e1nchez, the productive models based on the wild extractions on the territory that is reflected in the work of Liliana Zapata, in the traces and violent interactions between the body and the territory of the visual piece of Racso Zehcnas or in the modifications of the natural environments after the nineteenth-century scientific expeditions carried out in Africa, America and Asia by Gabriela Bettini<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will guided visits available, too, from the aforementioned very busy art historian Estefan\u00eda Camejo):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performance and interaction of Javier Cuevas with the work of Racso Zehcnas, April 1, at 6:00 p.m. (several passes) in the Aljibe Room of the CIC El Almac\u00e9n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conversation between Racso Zehcnas and Manuel Diego S\u00e1nchez, moderated by Dalia de la Rosa will takew place on April 22, at 7:30 p.m., in the CIC El Almac\u00e9n Movie Theatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running from 18th<\/sup> March until 30th<\/sup> April, also at Cic El Almacen, in The Cuba Room will be an exhibition called ACAYMO S. CUESTA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/strong>Blanco corrupto\u201d, Comimissioned por Dennys Matos<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a long process of documentary and informative research on corruption and urban development that has occurred in recent decades in Lanzarote, the Gran Canarian artist Acaymo S. Cuesta, curated by Dennys Ramos, has articulated a plastic and visual story from which to reflect and denounce, through a series of pieces and installations,  on three fundamental issues linked to the territory and post-truth on the island, that is, on the aesthetic impact of tourism corruption on the landscape of that island, as well as on the influence exerted by political-business control over the media to legitimize the “laundering” or manipulation of public opinion; and, as a backdrop, the validity of the legacy of C\u00e9sar Manrique’s environmentalist thought on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again there are some complementary guided tours that have proved such a popular insertion of added value to evcents like these, offering the general public to leanr from the informed and informative tour guides such as Estefan\u00eda Camejo, who will be showing small parties arpound on<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will also be a round table chat with Irma Ferrer and Noem\u00ed Tejera, moderated by Sa\u00fal Garc\u00eda Crespo, on Friday, April 8, at 7:30 p.m., in the Cinema Room of the CIC El Almac\u00e9n. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presentation of the exhibition catalogue takes place on Tuesday, April 26, 2022, at 7:30 p.m. Cinema Room of the CIC El Almac\u00e9n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make a note to self, though, that time is running out iof you wish to view the video-installation, ALBY \u00c1LAMO \u201cMateriales in\u00e9ditos\u201d at<\/strong> CIC El Almac\u00e9n. The installation closes on 19th March<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project “Unpublished materials” by the visual artist Alby Alamo (Las Palmas, 1977) is a video installation that, following the line of research around the idea of the current performance society, proposes a unique approach to issues such as sustainability, tourism and landscape taking as a transversal axis the spatial work of C\u00e9sar Manrique in Lanzarote,  to which is added the conditioning of having been a work carried out in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and under the mediation of the image and zero tourism. This work has the musical and sound collaboration of the artist Resonance (Javier P\u00e9rez Rodr\u00edguez) and will be accompanied by the photobook “Materials, recification of Arrecife and centrifuged”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only does the Lanzarote arts offer this month include the music and visual arts detailed above, but it also promises literary events too. For instance, <\/strong>also to be housed at Cic El Almacen in the coming weeks is WRITERS AND 8 CREATORS, looking at the work of  Agustina Ayala, Inocencia Aldana, Daniela Mart\u00edn Hidalgo, Mar\u00eda Morales Topham, Macarena Nieves C\u00e1ceres, Inocencia P\u00e1ez, Dominga Su\u00e1rez Clavijo and Lola Su\u00e1rez Elena Betancor, Rosal\u00eda D\u00ede, Flora Gonz\u00e1lez, Guacimara Hern\u00e1ndez, Isabelle Mathieu, Raquel Plans, Adrianac Sandec and Rosa Vera<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To overcome the unforgivable absence of names of women writers in the studies on the literary heritage associated with Lanzarote this artistic intervention that has as a priority objective to publicize and value the work of eight writers hand in hand with plastic recreation, through the collage technique, of eight creators of the island,  in an exercise of visual expression where literature and art interact to vindicate the development of a new aesthetic and intellectual discourse signed by women from Lanzarote<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With an eye on achieving the programmatic objective, on the one hand, of trying to publicize and value the rich diversity of the endemic flora of Lanzarote and, on the other hand, to explore the possibilities of artistic representation of some of the local plant species, the sculptor Rut Cavero, through the possibilities of three-dimensional representation with clay modeling,  will try that the people registered in the workshop experience and develop three-dimensional creativity to reproduce and express elements, patterns and natural structures linked to the insular flora as a unique form of artistic-plastic expression of our plant heritage.   Recipients: artists, creators and people with cultural concerns linked to the plastic and visual arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another promised workshop is LITERARY CREATION FROM THE SELF Taught By Lana Corujo and Andrea Sof\u00eda Crespo, also  CIC El Almac\u00e9n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This workshop, which is part of the activities programmed in Verbena, the first Literature Meeting in Lanzarote that will take place in El Almac\u00e9n, is aimed at all people who feel tickles in the brain when they read an unexpected combination of words. In this activity we will accompany you to ignite the poetic gaze. Dare to relate to language and the world in a new way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our readers who love dance should be interested in  \u201cINSECTO PRIMITIVO\u201d pedrformed by Compa\u00f1\u00eda El\u00edas Aguirre at Teatro V\u00edctor Fern\u00e1ndez Gopar \u201cEl Salinero\u201d. This will commence at 8.00 pm on Friday 11th<\/sup> March. Tickets are only 12 euros for a seventy minute programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insects have a life comparable to a dance: short, ephemeral and intense. Bodies that support architectures, as humans do with our invisible hearts, with our shells and everyday burdens. This piece is about harmonizing the heartbreaking with the subtle beauty of what happens in the tiny, improvised settings of nature. That “ying\/yang” in permanent dialogue. What if humans lived, every day, with the memory of the memento mori of a primitive insect? Perhaps our life, also ephemeral, could be presented as an atavistic and sublime dance. Dance, live, consciously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insecto Primitivo is the new production by El\u00edas Aguirre for which Aguirre has created an imaginary of “entomological mythology” as a result of the creative process. A project closely related to some previous proposals, but at the same time a new bet, investigating new terrains, new limits of body expression, sensations and the imaginary. A work that combines contemporary dance techniques, urban dance and gestural theater for which El\u00edas has a team of very peculiar dancers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, a month of the arts on Lanzartote wouldn\u00b4t feel quite the same without at least one trip tp the theatre, though tio seems we have to wait until April for that. So put it into your diary to ensure you don\u00b4t forget to book tickets to see SCENES OF CONJUGAL LIFE, by Ingmar Bergman With Ricardo Dar\u00edn and Andrea Pietra Direction by Norma Leandro Teatro V\u00edctor Fern\u00e1ndez Gopar “El Salinero”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

it is showing for two consecutive nights at 8.00pm Tuesday 5th<\/sup> April and Wednesday 6th<\/sup> April and is deemed as being suitable for over sixteen year olds. The playt runs from 100 minutes and admission porices range from 30 euros to 55 euros<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The author introduces us to Juan and Mariana \u2013 his two protagonists \u2013 telling the audience a sequence of scenes that has to do with the relationship they maintain during their marriage and the one they will continue to carry even after they have divorced. The veracity with which these instances are represented makes it impossible for the audience not to identify at least with some of the reactions of their characters, which can be both funny and dramatic but always have to do with love and the human condition, which is where the great success of this work lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and of course readers on Lanzarote may well have your own trusted reference points in your own municipalities. so keep your eye on that for announcements of new events or changes to schedules. The arts around the world are in a state of flux, still, and even we at the news desk struggle to keep up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertherless, we really hope to bump into some of you at some of these events. Also look out for two upcoming reports on cultural events including our day as inidain Jones on the lookot ledge in haria, and a fascinating guided tour of the theatre in the caves at Jameos Del Agua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See you around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

We have already seen nearly twenty musical events and visited a number of visual arts exhibitions in 2022. We have even followed guided walks and talks to review here in the arts and culture section of Lanzarote Information. Since lockdowns lifted here on Lanzarote many measures and protocols have been eased and the arts (and we who love the arts) have been grateful beneficiaries of those moves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8833,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8819","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aata"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aata.dev\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8819","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aata.dev\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aata.dev\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aata.dev\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aata.dev\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8819"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/aata.dev\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8819\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8839,"href":"https:\/\/aata.dev\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8819\/revisions\/8839"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aata.dev\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8833"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aata.dev\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8819"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aata.dev\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8819"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aata.dev\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8819"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
