Art and Race

Art and race are interconnected, reflecting and shaping societal ideas about identity, culture, and history. Art can challenge stereotypes, reveal diverse perspectives, and document racial experiences. Conversely, racial biases have historically influenced art creation, representation, and valuation, often marginalizing or appropriating cultures. Understanding this relationship encourages a more nuanced appreciation of how race impacts artistic expression and reception, fostering greater awareness of diversity and social justice in the arts.
