After Whitewalling: Aruna D’Souza and Nisa Mackie on Art, Race, and Protest
In Whitewalling: Art, Race & Protest in 3 Acts, Aruna D’Souza looks into three art world protests—from 1969, 1979, and 2017—that raise troubling questions about art and race in America. Here, D’Souza speaks with the Walker’s Nisa Mackie about what conversations should come next. In doing so, she charts the beginnings of a roadmap for the many art institutions that have experienced protest and controversy over the past few years or are thinking seriously about equity and culture change.
