Last weekend, News Editor Valentina Di Liscia witnessed a sight to behold: María Magdalena Campos-Pons’s procession through Manhattan in celebration of Black and Cuban histories in the city. Read her report on the artist’s moving communal performance, including details on how to catch the next one. In the news, a visitor at Glasgow’s Gallery of Modern Art tragically fell to his death last Wednesday. Staff Writer Rhea Nayyar reports below.
We also bring you a guide to six must-see shows in Philadelphia, Michael Glover on Ukrainian modernist art of the early 1900s, a new book reframing mass incarceration, and Rachel Martin’s breathtaking pencil drawings that had me hungry for more. — Lakshmi Rivera Amin, Associate Editor
