Today in the news, a prop student encampment for the set of the TV series FBI: Most Wanted at a New York college campus draws outrage from pro-Palestine activists who say it mocks the student movement for Gaza. Maya Pontone has the story. Meanwhile, authorities in Egypt detain a political cartoonist who was critical of the government’s electricity cuts amid record heat, and a free, online catalogue raisonné of the whimsical work of American modernist painter Florine Stettheimer is announced.
Also today: Erin L. Thompson reviews a new book on the illicit trade of human remains online and Julia Curl unpacks the history of product photography, now the subject of an exhibition at the Met Museum in New York. — Hakim Bishara, Senior Editor
