This fall, MoMA PS1 will present a major exhibition of Vaginal Davis, spanning five decades of her practice as a performer, visual artist, author, filmmaker, musician, educator, self-proclaimed “Blacktress,” and countercultural icon. The presentation spotlights Ms. Davis’s role as an underground trailblazer in culture and queer politics—as well as her uncompromising glamour. Vaginal Davis: Magnificent Product makes its US debut at PS1, following iterations at Moderna Museet, Stockholm, and Gropius Bau, Berlin. Organized thematically, the exhibition includes major installations, video, paintings, zines, audio works, sculptures, and cross-disciplinary collaborations, as well as extensive archival materials.

The Nation’s justice correspondent previews the court’s coming term—and explains why it will never stand up to Trump.
