10 Must-See New York City Exhibitions
Jailbird #19 by Gilberto Rivera
When a country is in shambles, as the United States is right now, art and community are among the few sources of peace and inspiration. Regardless of the art form or subject matter, art is political; it’s crucial to view it in this period of political unrest—and simply to feel joy. 1202 MAGAZINE created a list of 10 on-view and upcoming exhibitions we’re looking forward to across New York City.
