Gallery Girl's Wishlist: Ai Weiwei, Navajo Collaboration, and London Exhibitions
In her July recommendations, Gallery Girl highlights a notable jacket from the Navajo Nation Museum, which Ai Weiwei wore to celebrate his collaboration with Navajo artist Bert Benally for the upcoming Navajo TIME event, set to take place in Coyote Canyon and later at the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts in Santa Fe. In a separate note, she expresses her intent to publicly burn Angus Kennedy's book, Being Cultured: In Defence of Discrimination, as an act of defiance against Western cultural hegemony. Additionally, she invites viewers to explore exhibitions by Dorothea Tanning and Yvonne Rainer in London, while promoting a unique running tribute to Rainer.
