Black Lives Matter Resources
“I suggest that racial time is different from the linear
progression of dominant time. Instead racial time is a phenomenon where waiting
forms the majority of the everyday. It is a time where progress is not charted
through the prism of Western epistemologies. In racial time, slavery does not
end, it merely evolves, changes shape and oppresses through different but equally
violent regimes.“

We would like to demand, that in the art industry which holds a majority of people of white privilege, the only way forward is towards a change! One which should happen through education, decolonisation of museums / institutions and inclusion.
Below we have compiled a list of books, essays, videos, funds, organisations & petitions supporting the BLM movement.
