In the spirit of the saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” the “White Lotus” season premiere — “Same Spirits, New Forms” — delivers exactly what its title promises. For those unfamiliar, the “spirit” of the White Lotus television series centers around a luxury resort enterprise functioning as a cultural refuge for the hyper-rich. Far from broke, the Emmy award-winning first and second seasons of “White Lotus” cemented themselves in the zeitgeist as a satirical exploration of America’s ever-expanding wealth gap. Each season thus far has transformed the serene utopia of a Four Seasons property into a crime scene where everything that can go wrong, does, and where somebody innocent is sure to end up dead.

However, I think the 13-minute set undoubtedly stood as a testament to a storyteller’s showmanship.
Few films engage with architecture like “The Brutalist” does. In the film, director Brady Corbet does not relegate architecture to the background but instead explores it through the experience of a Holocaust refugee.

On Feb. 6, University of California, Los Angeles, professor Kency Cornejo delivered the Manton Foundation Annual Orozco Lecture in the Hood Museum of Art. Cornejo discussed her July 2024 book, “Visual Disobedience: Art and Decoloniality in Central America” — a text which explores artistic strategies for “Indigenous, feminist and anti-carceral resistance in the wake of torture, disappearance, killings and U.S.-funded civil wars in Central America,” according to its blurb.
