Good morning! Diné artist Melissa Cody’s weavings are restitching the fabric of art history, mushrooming in her aptly titled Webbed Skies show. Read Ela Bittencourt’s review of the pathbreaking works below. In the news, the US National Park Service allots $3 million to clear the way for the repatriation of objects and ancestral remains back to Native nations. Read Staff Writer Rhea Nayyar’s report on the decision, which comes months after a regulatory update to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act in January. We also bring you reviews of a new Agnès Varda biography by Carrie Rickey, art guides to Upstate New York and Los Angeles this autumn, and more. And as we gear up for a flurry of fair and show openings in New York City in the coming days, I invite you to have a go at our September edition of the Hyperallergic Art Crossword (featuring some easter eggs from the fall art season ahead). Enjoy, and stay hydrated!
