May 8, 2023Good morning on this glorious Monday in May. 🌤️ Today, Lori Waxman reviews the Veteran Art Triennial, Sarah Rose Sharpe covers a Smithsonian exhibition that asks if the world's light pollution problem can be solved, and Carolina Drake writes about an Indigenous collective challenging the myths about "White" Argentina. And I also want to draw your attention to an essay by Priteegandha Naik about the caste bias on tech platforms. The issue of caste discrimination may be new to many of our readers, since the topic is rarely discussed outside of Asia, but in the United States it has started to emerge as an matter of importance. Three months ago, Seattle became the first US city to ban caste-based discrimination by incorporating it into its anti-discrimination laws. We encourage you to learn more about caste oppression and how it directly impacts the lives of hundreds of millions of people worldwide.
