Kimberly's story helped in discussing both the issue of money and the issue of white guilt. In terms of money, her circumstances were difficult because she wanted to study, but she did not have enough money to enter the classroom, so she was forced to take a loan to enter the classroom and also forced to work during her studies to provide the money she wanted. Studying and working together was difficult and pressure on her, but she struggled and continued to reach the required success, the second issue of white guilt, through which she wanted to get to know all black authors, historians, and artists, and she also wanted to deal with black people, but she did not know that she would meet. Throughout her life, white people and black people, and this made Kimberly fight a lot of battles to succeed because an art history consultant told her that if you don't want to be in a class with other students of color, you should not enroll in art history classes Drew said this sentence because the professor of art history adviser told her "If you wanted to be in a classroom with other students of color then you should not have enrolled in art history classes". our lives always have battles with the people who live around us, including white, black, foreign Arab, Indian, Chinese, Spanish, and English, and we are all from different places. We must deal with that we are one battle with the path of our success. Sometimes we fall and sometimes we succeed, but the fall must fight with him to reach the desired degree of success and we do not let the fall stop us at the point of failure. Drew also fought with the idea of white guilt, which works to recognize the unacquired and unfair racial privileges, and worked to fight this idea so that you can reach success in the field of art and reach black artists to complete its story and pride in African American art. Kimberly also discussed her anger, where she was afraid of her anger, but using her anger was some positive change in order to struggle and to change what is a mistake in society and as a form of power to continue her march and to start the movement of protest and change. Authors, historians, and fairies can be active by mentioning everything that happens in the history of art and mentioning the history of black art, where Kimberly's goal was to gather a large number of black artists like Jamel Shabazz, Samuel Fosso, Nick Cave, and Mickalene Thomas. Authors, historians, and curators of exhibitions can be active in using their sites and expertise to defend social, political, and environmental issues by researching and documenting art history that is influenced by social and political movements and organizing exhibitions by focusing on social justice and publishing books and articles with books that link art and its relationship to activity, protest and community participation to work on projects that address local interests and educational programs that focus on treating broken schools and to workshops on the history of active art.
"There was a point in my career where I feared my anger" page 59
We can all have moments of fear and that fear of failure is from our view towards our future and the fear that the future will be difficult or easy, but the fear of anger can be positive or negative for some people, but drew use it positively and used it to change, research or fight for what is a mistake of society and also used her anger as a form of strength to pursue her career and also to start the movement to protest and change. I liked this quote Because I'm afraid of the result of my anger, and in fact, sometimes it's good and returns in a positive way to me and hours in negative ways to me, but most of it's in a way that I answer because when I'm afraid of my voice, it's high or when I'm right, my voice, they'll let them because I want to fix a mistake, but many hours of strength or feeling protected by hiding behind my high voice.
Exhibitions themselves can be a form of activism, and curators can certainly be considered activists when they use their roles to promote social or political change. Here's how exhibitions and curators can be activist in nature: Theme and Content Selection: Curators have the power to select themes and artworks that align with activist causes. They can curate exhibitions that focus on important social and political issues, such as environmental sustainability, racial justice, LGBTQ+ rights, or gender equality. This selection itself is a form of activism as it raises awareness and engages viewers with these topics. Education and Engagement: Activist curators may organize educational components within exhibitions, such as panel discussions, workshops, or lectures. These activities can help engage the public in meaningful dialogues about critical issues and encourage them to take action. It's important to note that not all curators are activists, and activism can take various forms. Some curators may engage in these practices more overtly, while others may do so more subtly. The extent to which a curator is considered an activist depends on their intent, actions, and the impact they have in promoting social or political change through their work in the art world. Everyone applying to the exhibition has a different idea from others. Some of them are those who want to express change, and some of them have different ideas about art, using social media such as Kimberly, but the students use it to display their art in the exhibition to reach their dreams and evaluate their art, using different tools for drawing. From those who used the camera to express what they saw, those who used the computer with 3D movements, and some of them mixed blacks and the society in which we live and used the use drawings to draw on them.
In this painting, ray is like Kimberley in that he mentions in
the painting the reference to who we are and where we come from, he wants Ray
to know who this person is, as Kimberly was looking for black artists and she
wants to collect a lot of them to know the history of black art and collect as
many artists as you can do.
