| For those of us who missed the boat to the Venice Biennale last year, I come bearing good news: Jeffrey Gibson’s historic exhibition is heading to Los Angeles this May. Read more about the Broad’s edition of the show, which marked the first time a Native artist represented the US at the international art event. Also today, learn about one of the New Yorker’s first female cartoonists and her quietly subversive comics, artist Demond Melancon’s opulent Mardi Gras beadwork, Faith Ringgold’s Rikers mural, and more. Finally, we’re proud to share our final article in this year’s Craft Archive Fellowship series, organized with the Center for Craft, in which Shilpi Chandra sheds light on the life, innovation, and legacy of Indian-American printmaker Krishna Reddy. — Lakshmi Rivera Amin, Associate Editor | | |
