Creating a new neighborhood on the peninsula that will surely flood instead of fixing the issues that are already plaguing neighborhoods is crazy but i don’t expect anything less from Charleston

[Fashioning the Self in Slavery and Freedom @FashioningSelf]

Black and brown employees often labor in art spaces as docents, safeguarding artworks while providing guidance and answering the questions of museum patrons. They are central to the functioning of museums, but their presences are overlooked and their contributions to our experience in museums are rendered invisible. Artist Deni Wohlgemuth-Ponty, however, made this black docent the subject of his painting "ArtGuard2000." He is flanked by seemingly canonical artworks filled with white figuration. Ponty suggests that this coy figure also deserves our contemplation and scholarly attention.

Another notable example of acknowledging the significance of docents is evident in the work of artist Fred Wilson, who has always been conscious of the labor performed by black and brown museum employees. He incorporated them into his groundbreaking 1992 exhibtion "Mining the Museum" at the former Maryland Historical Society and in "Guarded Views"—his contribution to the 1994 "Black Male" exhibtion at the @whitneymuseum.

When we shift our relationship with food, it doesn’t have to be a maladaptive behavior that is dangerous. #BlackFoodSymposium 🥘
