The year is 2018. Here's how it sounded at The Standard...
2018 was a year of shake-ups—from “The Squad’s” arrival in Congress to aftershocks from the #MeToo movement and Time’s Up campaign. Youth climate activism found its voice in one Greta Thunberg and Apple unveiled the Apple Watch. Elon Musk launched a Tesla into space while Fortnite became a cultural fixture.
It was a great year for the movies. We took our seats for A Star is Born, Black Panther and Roma while Bohemian Rhapsody and Crazy Rich Asians made bank. Childish Gambino released his jaw-dropping visuals for “This Is America” and queens like Kacey Musgraves, Ariana Grande and Cardi B made waves.
France won the FIFA World Cup in Russia and the Winter Olympics landed in PyeongChang, South Korea. In fasion, Virgil Abloh became Louis Vuitton’s first Black artistic director and Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty became a household name.
The Louvre Abu Dhabi brought masterworks to a futuristic new setting. But the talk of the art world was Banksy, whose Girl With Balloon shredded itself moments after selling.
