This week's Required Reading roundup from Hyperallergic covers a diverse range of art-world stories. French photographer JR has unveiled "La Caverne du Pont Neuf Paris" (2026), an optical illusion installation that transforms the pathway across the Seine into a black-and-white mountain range cave, paying homage to Christo and Jeanne-Claude's 1985 wrapping of the same bridge. Other highlights include architecture scholar Karrie Jacobs investigating a New York waterfront walking initiative for The Nation, curator Tara Contractor writing in Apollo about James McNeill Whistler's use of metallic pigments influenced by Japanese traditions, and Rob Corsini interviewing Amelia Abraham about their new book celebrating photography of queer nightlife for Dazed.

culture politics bryan stevenson equal justice

Bryan Stevenson, civil rights attorney and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI), opened Montgomery Square in Alabama on the anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery March. The new public space commemorates the acts of courage that led to the Voting Rights Act of 1965, focusing on the Civil Rights era and the role of Montgomery's Black community, including lesser-known figures like Linda Blackmon Lowry and Sheyann Webb. Stevenson discusses the square as part of EJI's broader network of sites—including the Legacy Museum and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice—which aim to deepen public understanding of America's history of racial inequality and mass incarceration.
