If there’s anything positive to say about 2020, then it’s that we were given the chance to rethink the status quo.

In many ways, 2020 has been a series of lessons in unlearning ignorance – something that art can contribute to as well, I believe. Here are a few highlights from some of the remarkable exhibitions that were on view in this unprecedented year:
