Cotopaxi Allpa 35L Travel Pack Del Día Dark: Sustainable and Chic

Published by skeptic

As we get out of the house, the gear-obsessed WIRED Reviews team is writing about our favorite bags and EDCs. Today, reviewer Boutayna Chokrane raves about her love for her Lululemon gym bag. You can also check out other Bag Check stories where WIRED writers share their carryall of choice. There’s a certain type of traveler who has spent years quietly furious at the travel-bag industry. One who has stood at luggage carousels watching identical cases circle endlessly; who has wrenched a shoulder hauling a poorly balanced pack through an airport; who has dug desperately through a seemingly bottomless compartment, searching for a specific charging cable tangled-up cord that looks like spaghetti. Thankfully, Cotopaxi’s Allpa Travel Pack Del Día Dark can help solve most of those problems while stashing an impressive amount. (You’re going to have to untangle your own cords.)

The Dia Art Foundation will mount a solo presentation dedicated to Lee Ufan as an official collateral event to the 2026 Venice Biennale. Opening May 9, the exhibition will be curated by Dia director Jessica Morgan and staged at the San Marco Art Centre. The exhibition in Venice, along with a display of Lee’s paintings and sculptures at the foundation’s upstate Dia Beacon, is pegged to the artist’s 90th birthday in June. Lee, who is associated with both the Mono-ha and Dansaekhwa movements, is best-known for spare paintings and installations—a few colorful brushstrokes set against a mostly white canvas, for example, or a single rock paired with a sheet of metal.   Related Articles Morgan worked closely with Lee to develop the exhibition, which will survey the artist’s seven-decade career and present historic and new paintings and installations, as well as a site-specific commission.

The 2025 Guide to Día de los Muertos events in Southern California

Published by Sam Flores

Despite a handful of popular Día de los Muertos events facing cancellation due to community fears surrounding ICE operations, many annual celebrations throughout Southern California will continue to honor the dearly departed as planned. Organizers for the Oct. 18 El Sereno Día de los Muertos Festival are working with Councilwoman Ysabel Jurado and her team to ensure the safety of its attendees during a precarious time for immigrant communities. Others, like the Museum of Latin American Art’s Day of the Dead Family Festival on Oct. 26, are placing an added emphasis on resilience. This year, De Los is hosting a free community celebration to commemorate the holiday on Oct. 25 from 2 to 10 p.m. at the Las Fotos Project. Attendees can enjoy a community altar, a skull decorating workshop, face painting and more. De Los will also be accepting submissions for our annual digital altar from Oct. 15 to Nov. 2. Community members can submit a photograph or memento to honor the memory of their dearly departed — pets included. Here is a list …
