February is that strange month when winter still can’t decide whether to leave or stay—and we, just in case, fill up the calendar. Between Anselm Kiefer at Palazzo Reale, Warhol and Banksy in Naples, and the new albums about to drop, there’s plenty to see and listen to. So here’s a selection of things not to miss this month: art, photography, design, cinema, and music to turn the most compact month of the year into a small, concentrated dose of visions. To note down, fit in, and chase.
