Daniel Humm is one of the most renowned chefs in the world. His flagship establishment, Eleven Madison Park, was named the World’s Best Restaurant in 2017 and has remained one of gastronomy’s most influential addresses for decades. Reopening following a pandemic closure, Humm took EMP in a new direction by unveling a plant-based menu. Citing the decision as “pro planet not anti-meat,” Humm’s turn toward veganism shocked the world of fine dining and was seen as a risk for the Swiss-born, New York-based chef, whose vegetable-focused ethos caused a separation with some of his other projects. In a moment of vindication, this year EMP became the first vegan restaurant to win three Michelin stars.

From her upbringing in Houston, where she would visit the Menil Collection and the Rothko Chapel, to her current life in New Orleans, Solange Knowles has long immersed herself in a powerful and potent realm of art, music, and spirituality. With her burgeoning art practice, in which her music plays a central role, Solange has recently begun to test the bounds of performance with site-specific happenings at art spaces like the Menil, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Chinati Foundation. It’s this high-impact, deeply personal engagement with art—and just as importantly, the spaces and places that show it—that continues to push Knowles’s craft forward.

The Guerrilla Girls are a masked feminist collective, founded in 1985, in response to overwhelming prejudice against women and people of color in the art world. Today, the group is a cultural powerhouse, encompassing spinoff cells like the digital media–focused Guerrilla Girls BroadBand and Guerrilla On Tour! theater company, with a presence everywhere from the Women's Arch and Tate Modern to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
