Today’s AJ Highlights

  1. How To Select Ten Books To Represent A Quarter Of A Century
    “Once we got back about ten years, I had a much better sense of what had lasted, what was really lastingly good and not just shiny. … The closer we get to the present the less perspective we have.”Reactor Magazine
  2. In Colorado, There’s No History Without Art “Rather than treating art as mere decoration, History Colorado incorporates it as an essential storytelling tool, particularly when addressing challenging subjects.”Colorado Public Radio
  3. Why Hollywood Suddenly Decided To Flip The May-December Romance Script “Not so long ago, the entertainment industry tucked away women of a certain age on Sexless Mom Island while their male peers wooed girls young enough to be their daughters and granddaughters.”Washington Post
  4. Black Artists And Performers Claim Egypt For Africa At The Met
    “By staging performances within the Met’s hallowed halls, these artists challenge traditional narratives of Egyptian art as solely Middle Eastern, highlighting its African roots.”The New York Times
  5. Why Are Directors So Into Revamping Classics For A ‘New’ Broadway? “Art leaves gaps that invite collaborative dreaming. That is one way Shakespeare manages to keep holding the mirror up to nature.”Los Angeles Times
