New Definitions (and Questions) of Power Emerge in a Show Featuring Black Women Artists

Weekly Rewind Vol.2
Here’s my weekly recap of my favorite discoveries found online this week. Duro Olowu’s “More Material” I’ve been so preoccupied with work, life, drought-proofing our yard (we removed 2/3 of our lawn, *self-aggrandizing pat on back*), that I’m having gallery withdrawals. If I could transport myself to any show, here’s where I’d go right now. Designer Duro…
