Someone is sticking googly eyes on sculptures in Bend, Oregon, and while residents love them, the city isn't happy. Here's more from @Smithsonianmag.

Photographer Doris Ulmann is remembered for her work in Appalachia during the Great Depression, where she shot folks who ordinarily wouldn't have the opportunity to sit for a portrait. JSTOR shares some images.

Photographer Ernest Cole's seminal work was "House of Bondage," an exposé of apartheid in his home country of South Africa. Cole left the country for the U.S. before the book was even published in 1967 (it was immediately banned and he was stripped of his citizenship). He went on to take tens of thousands of photos in New York and the Jim Crow South, but work dried up, and he spent times living on the same streets he had photographed, before dying of pancreatic cancer at 49. Most of his U.S. work has never been seen until now, with the release of a new documentary, "Ernest Cole: Lost and Found." CNN talked to its director, Raoul Peck, about the making of the movie and the parallels Cole saw between South Africa under apartheid and the segregated South.

Math teacher and artist Marilou Schultz, who is from the Navajo Nation, was commissioned by Intel in 1994 to make "Replica of a Chip," a woven wool piece that re-creates Intel's Pentium chip. @colossal explains how it was made, and what it represents — ideas around gendered labor, visibility and the meaning of progress. See it in real life at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, where it will be on display until March 2025.

When the enslaved people of the island of Haiti rose up and won their liberty in the late 18th and early 19th century, women fought shoulder to shoulder with men. Yet it's the male freedom fighters who are remembered. Now, Haitian artists Richard Barbot and François Cauvin have imagined what these women looked like, creating paintings of revolutionary fighters such as Marie Jeanne Lamartiniére, Sanité Bélair, and vodou priestess Cécile Fatiman. Emi Eleode writes about their lives and the upcoming Resistance, Revolution and Reform: Cambridge and the Caribbean in the Age of Abolition, which will open at London's Fitzwilliam Museum in 2025.

Ever been moved to tears just thinking about the beauty and impact of #art?

It happened during this episode of @Flipboard's The Art of Curation podcast — an interview with two security guards from the Baltimore Museum of Art who participated in curating the "Guarding the Art" show in 2022.

It was refreshing to hear from people with a great appreciation for art, but who are often overlooked when it comes to sharing their opinions about it.
