Today, Bangladeshi artists speak with Hyperallergic about their hopes and fears for the future of their country after mass student protests toppled the anti-democratic regime of five-term Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina earlier this month. And solving another piece of the puzzle of Stonehenge’s mysterious origins, researchers find that an altar stone at the center of the English site had been transported across at least 430 miles (about 700 kilometers), likely from Scotland. Read more about that in our report.
Also today: five video essays to watch this month, an exhibition of fan art in Canada, and a collection of comics art from all over the world made during the COVID-19 lockdown. — Hakim Bishara, Senior Editor
