October 24, 2024

Good morning. Today, our news team reports on two instances of pro-Palestine censorship in the art world: one in Germany and the other in Canada. Meanwhile, at Columbia University, Uzma Afreen visits a “Liberation Sukkah” created by several Jewish students, who adorned the structure with art and poetry speaking to values of justice and solidarity.

Also today, Dan Schindel interviews the woman who launched Japan’s #MeToo movement about her new documentary. “It helped me log what was happening inside me,” Shiori Ito said of her experience. “Then, when I realized I wanted to make a film, I kept recording.”

More below, including a compilation of the beloved Nancy comic and Nicole Eisenman’s unusual sculpture in Madison Square Park. One last bit of news as you plan the weekend ahead: The Whitney Museum in New York just announced free admission for visitors 25 and under starting in mid-December. For my fellow soon-to-be-26-year-olds, go before it's too late!
