MARCH 6, 2013
I write this piece in good faith about the organizations I know best: museums. The vast majority of American museums are institutions of white privilege. They present masterpieces by white male artists and innovations by white male scientists. I never saw comparable adjectives used in the European art labels at the museum.

Our Curator will lead the way in bringing together professional artists and non-artist participants in the development of powerful exhibitions.

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. I'm an artist and an institution builder. The kind of art I do is art that gets engaged into the public.

At the Inclusive Museum conference this summer, Dr. Rick West introduced this question through a tale of two museums.
