Are You Looking At Me? The Chinese Lady at Everyman Theatre
The Chinese Lady, by Lloyd Suh, has two objectives, and the fine production at Everyman Theatre addresses them poignantly. The two-person cast, Tuyết Thị Phạm (Afong Moy) and Đavid Lee Huỳnh (Atung), under Nana Dakin’s skillful direction, show the effect of cultural exploitation on the individual. They also, along with the talented design team, raise the question of whether we are all complicit in that exploitation.

The World’s Most Offensive Museum Might Just Be its Most Important
About two weeks ago I felt a familiar, visceral fear of violence in an unexpected place: an art museum’s opening festivities in Eixample, one of Barcelona’s poshest neighborhoods. It was one of those sensations that’s sadly quotidian to most people who grew up in the United States—the slight...
Walters Gala in Photos
There’s something magical and incredibly surreal about a seated dinner in the hallowed galleries at the Walters Art Museum. On Saturday, October 21, the Walters hosted its annual fundraising gala and opened its doors to some of Baltimore’s best-dressed arts patrons and creatives. The evening began with cocktail hour at six in the sculpture court, a three-course dinner in the galleries at seven-thirty, followed by a late night dance party from 9-12, complete with hors d’oeuvres and an open bar, DJ (but not DJ Fly Guy), and specialty lounge spaces.

Picturing The Black Arts District
Every day, Kenneth Morrison leaves their office, passes the liquor store, and sees people struggling with addiction. It’s a reminder of how decades of disinvestment—fueled by racist housing practices like redlining and blockbusting—have spawned urban blight along Pennsylvania Avenue, which used to be an epicenter for Black art and entertainment businesses during the early to mid-20th century. Not so long ago, Morrison said, the region was “a prominent space that prominent Black creatives thrived in.”
