Who Are You Rooting For? Ayana Evans, Juliana Huxtable, and Tsedaye Makonnen on Community, Art World Visibility, and Time Freedom

RMB speaks with Black femme artists who carved their own lanes and define community with values, not just identity. In a kiki with Tsedaye Makonnen and Ayana Evans about the Venice Biennale, we take notes on how they made curators pay attention to their work while navigating art world elitism. We travel down memory lane when RMB was the (first) DEI director at a major art school and interviewed Juliana Huxtable about the potential trap of visibility. "Oprah Tyra Wendy" interviews RMB's mother Ann-Marie who *might* be a Republican in an excerpt of her 2022 film Reality Is Not Good Enough. We wrap with a brief segment on how RMB creates time freedom.
