The resistance isn't just alive but thriving, as evidenced by the return of Fall of Freedom for the mid-term elections, echoing a nationwide call for democratic values. Alice Neel's McCarthy-era courtroom drawings, now poised for auction, symbolise the ongoing vigilance against tyranny. Meanwhile, the unsung architect Max Bond Jr., a key figure in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture, garners overdue recognition.
Elsewhere, the art world buzzes with opportunities and movements. From the Yaddo Artist Residency to the expansion of museums in Latin America, there's much to explore. But it's the everyday acts of art, like public commissions for New Jersey’s Monuments to Migration and Labor initiative, that truly embody the enduring spirit of resistance and change.
As we navigate these exciting times, it's clear that art and activism are not just trends but integral to the fabric of our society. From the quiet contemplation of print and drawing exhibitions to the bold statements of public monuments, this isn't just a moment – it's a movement.
