Today: Marlene McCarty's unapologetic portraits of young women in graphite and pen, South American art in New York, and impressions from Detroit's Queer Art Biennial. In other stories, a satellite image analysis reveals the staggering extent of Azerbaijan's destruction of Armenian cultural heritage in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), and organizers in New York accuse the Brooklyn Museum of encouraging arrests of protesters. And, as usual, there's more.
