Hyperallergic kicked off its yearly Pride series with an interview of British artist Jamie Nares by Senior Editor Valentina Di Liscia. Nares, who came out as transgender in 2019 and adopted her new name in 2024, discusses her identity, her feelings of belonging in New York City, and her wide-ranging artistic pursuits, which include painting, experimental film, photography, and music inspired by the No Wave movement. In other updates, Kalshi, a prediction market platform, has launched a new section for art market betting. Meanwhile, The New School in Manhattan has let go of 19 full-time faculty and 68 staff due to a $160 million budget deficit linked to the pandemic and declining enrollment. An exhibition in Rome explores Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s relationship with Pope Urban VIII, while an opinion piece by Leonardo Páez Rodríguez calls for the protection of South American rock art, which holds only one World Heritage status. Additionally, the community section highlights artist Stacy Bogdonoff and features an archived interview with Jaune Quick-to-See Smith.
