Hyperallergic Weekly Digest: Talwar Reinstatement, Guggenheim Abu Dhabi Date, and More
In a recent reflection, Hakim Bishara, editor-in-chief of Hyperallergic, shares his experiences from a week in Brooklyn. He draws attention to a neglected still life featuring white roses, a newly established storefront church, and Hans Wilschut's photobook 'Beirut, Epi-Centre Ville,' coinciding with the sixth anniversary of the Beirut explosion. Bishara also mentions the release of drawings by immigrant children in ICE detention, following a lawsuit by Allison Gill, and the community's push to reinstate SAIC professor Savneet Talwar, who has been placed on leave, with over 400 members advocating for his return. Additionally, he notes the passing of Francisco Correa Cordero, founder of Lubov gallery, at 37, and the arrest of 16 protesters in the Hart Senate Office Building, along with Trump’s proposed low budget for the Smithsonian.
