Before we get into today’s stories, allow me to shout out our talented News Editor Valentina Di Liscia and Staff Writer Rhea Nayyar for an excellent radio segment yesterday on WNYC’s All Of It, where they discussed New York’s art fair season with host Alison Stewart. Take a listen to the interview here. Meanwhile in the news, the Noguchi Museum in New York terminates three workers for donning Palestinian keffiyehs, sparking staff-wide outrage, and researchers uncover a long-lost bronze hidden in the Titanic shipwreck.
There’s more, including Kathia St. Hilaire, Henry Moore, Eric Avery, Mickalene Thomas, and an opinion piece by the Museum of Pop Culture’s CEO Michele Y. Smith on why museums should take their educational role more seriously.
