Hakim Bishara will write articles about the intersections of art and politics—both in the United States and throughout regions not typically covered by the American art media, including West Asia and Africa. Specifically, he will write about artwashing, labor rights, museum funding, and underrepresentation in the art world in relation to gentrification, state violence, and racism.
