We thank our 2023 authors\u2014a global gathering of artists, scholars, teachers, archivists, curators, and critics\u2014and equally our editors and community of peer reviewers. Their thoughtful and often urgent contributions to <em>Art Journal Open<\/em> elevated our mission to promote contemporary art scholarship and practice that is invested in a more just and ethical world. Collectively, these most-read features offer new ways of seeing and responding to a present moment rife with challenges. They convey our desire to use, and at times reinvent, the tools of art and art history as we work to be better scholars, better teachers, and better makers. <br>\u2014Grace Aneiza Ali<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
