This week I’m reminded of the breadth of world cultures and the long shadow of human history, with art exhibitions that span the local and global, past and present. While artists at the Bronx Museum engage with area communities and ecosystems, others at MoMA PS1 examine mass waste and excess, and the Morgan Library & Museum shows us how medieval Europe imagined the world. We’re also revisiting the legacy of American photographer Consuelo Kanaga, and as we get closer to summer it’s a perfect time to head a bit out of town and see a wonderful array of Indigenous artists at the Zimmerli Art Museum in New Jersey, curated by the late artist Jaune Quick-to-See Smith. —Natalie Haddad, Reviews Editor
