Dance Your Way to the Museum
The benefits of rave culture, Genesis P-Orridge’s subversive mail art, Jean Shin’s memorial to the trees of a New York cemetery, and more.
If you think raves are just hazy gatherings of intoxicated people who have forgotten where they are and can’t tell the difference between yesterday and next week, think again. According to curator Naz Cuguoğlu, raves nurture “forms of belonging that may not yet exist elsewhere.” In her opinion essay today, she explains how museums can become more welcoming spaces by embracing rave culture.

Also today: Genesis P-Orridge’s subversive mail art, Jule Korneffel’s search for light, Jean Shin’s memorial to the trees of a New York cemetery, and more.
