Antiracism & the Art World

Hello SOTAns,

This week, we're doing things differently again. We understand that this time is taking up a lot of people's energy–mentally, emotionally, physically. In this time of ongoing protests, while also battling a global pandemic, we did not want to put more on anyone's plate by asking them to use their energy for our podcast. (However, our platforms remains open to anyone who it may benefit.) We, your hosts, are both white and we are taking time to read antiracist literature and educate ourselves on systemic racism that is prevalent in daily life in our country and has been through history. To keep in line with our mission as an arts podcast, we talk about how these educational resources can be applied to the art world. Jasa leads us in a conversation based off readings from the book How to be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi and combines it with statistics of racial disparities in the art world–including commercial galleries, museums, auctions, and biennials. We understand that this may be further exhausting for some audiences, so feel free to sit this one out if so and/or let us know if you have a recommendation for topical subjects.

We're thinking of you, Twin Cities/Minnesota/Midwest. Take good care.

Your Hosts,
Jasa & Sarah
