MuseumCamp is an annual professional development event at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History in which teams of diverse, creative people work on quick and dirty projects on a big theme. We encouraged teams to think like artists, not researchers. How do you measure that? To be speculative. To be playful. To be creative.

Two weeks ago, Roberto Bedoya asked several arts bloggers, including me, to write a post reflecting on Whiteness and its implications for the arts. I am in no way an expert in issues related to racial and ethnic representation in the arts. They tell histories of white male conquest. It's talking about white people.

Not sure the purpose of the scam since they didn't get any information out of us really; maybe just to get our hopes up. Turns out he was wanted for being a scam artist. Searching provides no obituary for the wife, the phone number does not exist, and there is no information to be found for his name. They researched online.

It requires trading a certain history for an uncertain future--a nerve-wracking prospect no matter the situation.

"I think about how many times I didn't like the color of my skin, because I didn't see myself in any art. I think about how hesitant I was to become an artist, because I didn't see role models, and even to this day how hard it is for me sometimes to find peers who are women of color, because of how systematically they are pushed out.
