Nearly two months after the Gaza encampment at Columbia University sparked a national wave of demonstrations, students say the school archived their pro-Palestine protest art without their consent. Isa Farfan has the story below.

Also today, two museums suspend exhibitions of Kehinde Wiley's work in the wake of multiple sexual assault allegations against the artist.

Read on for an excerpt from curator Scott Manning Stevens’s catalog essay for Native Prospects: Indigeneity and Landscape at the Thomas Cole National Historic Site, our seasonal guide to the summer’s must-see art shows in Los Angeles, and more.

And as we gear up for Father’s Day in the United States this Sunday, Isabella Segalovich pens a lovely exploration of the relationship between father-daughter artistic duo William and May Morris, who changed the course of textile art together.
