Trump Passport Redesign and Glissant Exhibition at CARA
The Trump administration has revealed its plans to issue U.S. passports that will include the former president's image and signature, a decision that has faced backlash over potential misuse of public funds. This initiative sharply contrasts with Édouard Glissant's philosophy of art promoting communal engagement over individual distinction, a theme currently being examined at a New York exhibition curated by John Yau. In related news, Sotheby’s is organizing a charity auction to support Yale's MFA scholarship program, according to Dean Kymberly Pinder. The art community mourns the passing of George Herms at age 90 and honors influential figures including Raghu Rai and Jack Thornell.
