From Paris, In Solidarity
Surreal scenes from an art week amid protests, lessons from the NEA Four, and Kid Cudi’s Basquiat biopic.
Paris Art Week erupted into a week of exhibitions and blue-chip art fairs, with million-dollar artworks being sold as students protested deteriorating education and public services. Journalist Naima Morelli arrived to report on the surreal atmosphere, a blend of dystopia and hope. The protests, reminiscent of New York's Culture Wars, saw tens of thousands gather in solidarity.

The Toronto Biennial's star, Kid Cudi, debuts in a new Jean-Michel Basquiat biopic. Amidst historic protests, a march led by artists, cultural workers, and students drew large crowds.
