Student Juried Show: Restoring & Redefining the Body
Restoring the Body, By Reclamation: A 2019 study by Williams College found that 85.4% of the art in the collections of 18 major U.S. museums was created by white artists, and 87.4% by men. In contrast, just 1.2% of the works were by African American artists, 9% by Asian artists, and 2.8% by Hispanic and Latino artists. We need to hold sexist and racist institutions accountable and call them out. The model in this photograph is Brennah Wahweotten, Prairie Band Potawatomi. The location is Prairie Peoples Park.
