 November 14, 2022Happy Monday! 🌤️ I don't know about you, but I'm having a blast watching the online dumpster fire that is Twitter nowadays. From people impersonating corporations and forcing stocks to drop (no, really) to the departure of so many senior leaders at the company, the Elon Musk takeover has been anything but boring. Now, for some art-related news and reviews. Harvard University reveals it has the hair samples of 700 Native Americans, an art fair grows in New Jersey, artists can now apply to do a residency at Chaco Canyon in New Mexico, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and an exhibition in LA looks at the history of activism. But, if there's one thing you should read today, I'd suggest Hakim Bishara's opinion on the ridiculous statement by museum directors saying they are "deeply shaken" by recent climate protests.

I will have more to say on this topic in the future. — Hrag Vartanian, editor-in-chief  Museum Directors, Do You Need a Hug?Prominent museum directors declaring that they are "deeply shaken" by climate activists is a resounding failure of leadership. | Hakim Bishara SPONSORED  Watch Indigenous Cinema With the National Museum of the American IndianFor Native American Heritage Month, the Native Cinema Showcase includes over 35 free online screenings representing 30 Indigenous Nations in eight different countries.
