| As 2020 comes to a close, we look back on a year of tragedy, grief, and violence, in both body and spirit. Words fall short in the face of so much loss, particularly for those whose loved ones passed unexpectedly.It was a year of resilience as well, as people voted in record numbers to elect a new president, joined together to protest murder and injustice, and adjusted to life amid a pandemic. Hyperallergic Weekend wraps up 2020 with a meditation on the “year without art” by Weekend Co-Editor Thomas Micchelli, who talks about an artwork’s ability to help life make sense, “at least for a few moments.”– Natalie Haddad, Co-Editor, Hyperallergic Weekend | |
