Policing Artistry

Artists of color are constantly being told how they can and should engage with their art and consumers are always placing their own artistic expressions onto pieces that aren’t their own. But the real beauty of art is that art can be anything. And within its “anything-ness” art carries meaning, identity, and experience. But who gets to determine what one's art is? And how do BIPOC artists feel about others dictating what their art should be known as? What does it mean to police artistry? _____________________________ This Episode’s Hosts: Nicole Maria Mateo and Chase Leito Join the KSFam! We saved you a seat at the table.
