Snacks, drinks, art, and community — what more could you ask for on a Wednesday night as you gear up for a strong finish to the semester!?
We’re also thrilled to share another online exclusive — this time, an essay by @blakeyhcb — while we put the finishing touches on the print journal. Who is Friedel? Can he hear you? Navigate over to journalofartcriticism.com to find out.

We are excited to share our first online exclusive in advance of the 2019 print journal! In this essay, Gianna Samms discusses Fausto Ortiz’s “Approaches” through a theoretical lens proposed by Hito Steyerl, investigating what the loss of a stable horizon means for postcolonial global connection. Head over to our website to read her beautiful piece, and stay posted for some more online-only content as we continue making progress on our print journal behind the scenes. .
