the co-option of inner city collectives for branding and marketing has been hard to watch.
i recently read “art making is world making” by Gwendolyn Ismatu and thought it tied in with the last point you made: “what culture do i want to make possible?”. As artists, as HUMANS, we have the ability to imagine new worlds. art is important not only for reflecting on the past, but also in lighting a way for the future. thank you for your writing as always. love 🙌🏽
You had me t f*hk the algorithm! This piece really hits home with the idea that real art and community are being lost in the chase for metrics and quick hits. It’s inspiring to see a call for authentic expression and meaningful connection. True culture is built from the ground up, on our own terms. Yes Nubz !
