Recently, we saw Art, a play whose premise centers on three sophisticated, middle-aged friends who descend hell-ward in a bitter fight that tears the otherwise resilient fabric of their friendship. The trio's scorching verbal combat ignites when one of them acquires a "work of art" consisting of a contentless, blank-white canvas, which he purchased for the profligate sum of 300,000 dollars!

Art is never finished; we complete it from our own experience. Brain scans show that the more ambiguous the art, the greater differences in interpretation between people.

In contemporary Germany, Amon Aleme Selassie's reinterpretation of 'Where the Wild Things Are' showcases Black selfhood and resilience against societal norms.
