Art can thrive in the most unfathomable times; 2024 was a year filled with global conflict but it was also a year of exceptional exhibitions. From Botticelli’s rarely seen drawings to sculptural revivals of archaic myths, contemporary takes on traditional crafts, and a world of plastic put to good use; from the story of a disability arts movement to artists’ interventions in institutional collections, to a much-needed mash-up of art and sports; and of course, from past artists with a vision to present-day artists with a loud and clear voice, Hyperallergic’s staff and contributors gathered together a list of our favorites from around the globe. —Natalie Haddad, Reviews Editor
