Earlier this week, we published Moustafa Bayoumi’s revelatory expose about the unsettling genre of atrocity photography in US “war on terror” black sites and state-run prisons in other countries. Today, we focus on the nefarious Guantánamo Bay detention camp in a new episode of the Hyperallergic Podcast. Listen to Editor-in-Chief Hrag Vartanian speak with Mansoor Adayfi, who was held at Guantánamo for almost 15 years without being charged with a crime; Erin L. Thompson, a professor of art crime at John Jay College who curated an exhibition by Gitmo detainees in 2018; and artist Molly Crabapple, who was allowed access to the site in 2013 and made drawings there. Also today, New Editor Valentina Di Liscia gives us the rundown on all the noteworthy fairs, exhibitions, and events during Miami Art Week — plus tips on how to stay sane during rush hour. Meanwhile, Berlin slashes its arts and culture budget, dealing a major blow to the local artists and arts organizations who rely on government grants. Staff Writer Rhea Nayyar has the details. There’s that and much more, as per usual. As you read, please consider joining as a Hyperallergic Member. Your support will help us keep up the work during uncertain times for independent media. Have a great day! — Hakim Bishara, Senior Editor | |
