A note from your host.
This episode was created with the intent of celebrating black artists and their work.
As a white woman, my experience in the art world is different from that of people of color. My goal with this episode is to utilize my knowledge of art history and contemporary art to discuss artists of color that I particularly enjoy or feel are essential to art history overall. There are a vast number of artists of color who are notable and should be recognized by art history and the art world today.
I have provided below a list of organizations and funds that are experts at educating the general public on black artists, and supporting contemporary artists of color.
I have also provided a list of links to topics that I touch on in this episode, which pertain to historical black experiences in America.
I fully and completely support the Black Lives Matter movement, as well as continious work to create equality across the globe.
