- A London art gallery will show 8 exhibitions during 2021 that explore questions put forth in Hannah Arendt’s “Between Past and Future: Eight Exercises in Political Thought” — the exhibitions will feature more than 20 international artists

Mini-Heap posts appear when 7 or so new items accumulate in the Heap of Links, the ever-growing collection of items from around the web that may be of interest to philosophers. Discussion welcome.
The Heap of Links consists partly of suggestions from readers; if you find something online that you think would be of interest to the philosophical community, please send it in for consideration for the Heap. Thanks!
