  • T Magazine profiles American-Haitian designer and Pyer Moss founder Kerby Jean-Raymond whose political, narrative-rich designs are changing the way we think about fashion and race

  • Georgia O’Keeffe may be best known for her work as an artist, but apparently, she also spent a lot of time in her kitchen. In her latest column, The New Yorker writer Rachel Syme—who recently caught a glimpse of the artist’s recipe file at a Sotheby’s auction—explains that when she started to cook like the mother of American modernism, her diet became instantly healthier

  • With new museums opening in Africa, and calls for restitution increasing, The Guardian questions: Will Europe’s museums rise to the challenge of decolonization?

  • The New York Times talks to Washed Ashore, a nonprofit organization reusing garbage from the Oregon coast to create sculptures of endangered animals

  • Produced as part of a collaboration between photographer Rosie Matheson and The British Red Cross, The British Journal of Photography features a portrait series telling the stories of the Bangladeshi women who are fighting climate change in the disaster-prone city of Barishal.
