This year, nothing has felt truly resolved. There’s no coherent narrative that could explain the confluence of a global pandemic, a failure of political leadership, being stuck at home followed by a wave of mass demonstrations and a population, maybe half of which now believe utter lies. Which is why, in its own curious way, Erin Washington’s “Bodies feel dangerous right now” is a perfect exhibition with which to close out a disconsonant year.
