i was trying to embed a video but couldn't do it through vimeo. instead here is a link to a video of coco fusco talking about people of color in academic settings and the gaps in art school curriculum.
LINK TO COCO FUSCO VIDEO, thank you Vimeo & The New School Working Group for making this video available.
Interesting video. Coco brought an interesting viewpoint in fashion design classes which intrigued me (about mixing colors and having sketches that are only Caucasian). She brings a good point that it is the content of diversity that we should be teaching art students. Retraining teachers is one suggestive step and perhaps a change in current curriculums as well.
