Mona Chalabi on Money and Art
An interview with the Pulitzer Prize winner, Lori Waxman on bringing sexy back in Chicago, stolen Picasso prints found, and the problem with clouds.
Mona Chalabi, the Pulitzer Prize-winning data journalist and artist, writes in her new book Ten Lives: "I wrote this book because I was paid a shitload of money to write it." Chalabi, known for her striking data visualizations and unflinching critiques of journalism, has crafted a book that explores the impact of wealth and economic inequality on individuals and society.
As an Iraqi-British illustrator, she has consistently pushed boundaries, drawing attention to the Israeli government's actions in Gaza and racial and gender biases in museum collections. Her book is set to be published in 2026, offering a fresh perspective on the role of money and class in shaping our lives and careers.
