From the January/February "Movement" issue:

UC Berkeley professor Arthur Shimamura chronicles the various ways early photography was used to capture and convey movement. Choreographer for The National Ballet of Canada, Robert Binet shares outrage and insight on the stifling gender roles that still define contemporary ballet. Artist Sheldon Scott surveys the ways in which art has historically expressed that Black Lives Matter, long before the hashtag ignited a movement. ART21 Digital Content Editor Lindsey Davis conducts an extensive interview with three Syrian artists to uncover how the war that forced them to leave their homes behind has affected their artistic practice.
