This week’s offering is all about the intentional ingenuity across artistic, political, and economic spheres that will determine our future. First, NPQ’s own in-house creatives call out the use of design for advancing racist notions in a recent political campaign, positing design as a tool better utilized for furthering racial justice. From the desks of our Tiny Spark podcast, an Australian curator and art critic discusses the portrayal of sexual violence in the Met Museum’s collection and highlights the need for greater sensitivity in the curation and analysis of art by women and about women. In another piece, we witness the staggering pitfalls of paying for higher education and walk through the government’s new plans for student loan forgiveness. Lastly, Cyndi Suarez stresses the urgency of conceptualizing responses to climate change that factor in the increased migration that will characterize the future.
