| Good morning! Does a performance toggling between “a sad school play and a Ketamine-infused Berlin rave” sound like your kind of vibe? No? You’re in good company. Senior Editor Hakim Bishara reviews Anne Imhof’s “comically apolitical” play today, skewering its Balenciaga ad ethos and utter failure to capture young people’s frustrations with the systems ruling our lives. Speaking of which, Staff Writer Rhea Nayyar looked into the impact of Trump-mandated tariffs on artists, who may face even higher prices for materials from paint to paper. We also report on the repatriation of a looted Buddha sculpture to Nepal and remember the work of whimsical sculptor Ming Fay, who passed away last month at 82. Read on for more, including an exhibition of work by Simone de Beauvoir’s long-overlooked sister, Barbie’s birthday, and shows to see in Los Angeles this month. — Lakshmi Rivera Amin, Associate Editor | | |

MEMBER COMMENT | | Margot Knight on “Museums Scramble to Grasp Impact of Trump’s DEI Mandate” | | Watch the courts. There are substantive separation of powers and rule of law issues at play.
I am hoping that artists, scholars, cultural organizations and their national service organizations are exploring legal avenues to ensure freedom of expression remains a core, unfettered value of their work. Or else we might have to start finding caves to hide art and scholarship until this latest battle of cultural wars subsides.
