The artist Mickalene Thomas has designed a show at Yale University Art Gallery blending fact and speculation about the lives of Black Americans whose stories have largely been lost. It is based around a precious (and mysterious) portrait miniature. nyti.ms/3Z6JYYo

Bodily autonomy for all.
In "Ain't I a Woman," Mary Enoch Elizabeth Baxter raps and retells her experience of being shackled for 43 hours while giving birth, raising the question of who is considered a “woman” by society and the law—and who is considered worthy of human rights.
