Art21

I said I would be sticking to black and Canadian artists, but I really have to give a big hail up to brothers and sisters in the states, I have been watching the Art 21, you should if you like art and Artist. There are some I so love! it's amazing, One thing I notice though, Black artist always, well 99% of them talk about their ethnicity, how it influences the work they produce, while white artists, So far I have not heard anyone of them mention their privilege. A lot of women artist talk about being women in a male dominated world. I find it fascinating, Not that one has to mention gender or race in the work, but i think who you are must have impact on what you create. but I think privilege is not knowing or not having to notice "others" or looking at the privilege one has. oh so Layah Ali
