Good morning. 🌥️ Today, writer and curator Laura Raicovich shares highlights from the 2022 Venice Biennale, a new report about Harvard University's dark history of slavery, workers at New York City's art-house cinema Film Forum push to unionize, and reviews of Anaïs in Love, Eamon Ore-Giron, and more.
For the next three months, I'll be filling in for Hyperallergic's editor-in-chief Hrag Vartanian, who's taking his first sabbatical. We wish him a relaxing and creative time off.
— Hakim Bishara, interim editor-in-chief
