“While many people on museum boards have been forced to resign due to the work of the Guerrilla Girls and other artist-activist protest groups, like Decolonize This Place and the Feminist Art Coalition, the group have been behind milestones in art history, alongside the Riot Girrl movement, Women Artists in Revolution, the Sister Serpents art group and the New York Feminist Art Institute.” - Nadja Sayej

“A curator in an art museum once told me that she was a towhead as a child, and that her mother’s friend would say things to her—and this was to a child, now—“Oh, your hair's not blonde enough.

“The image is used as a metric for skin-color balance, which technicians use to render an image as close as possible to what the human eye recognizes as normal. But there’s the rub: With a white body as a light meter, all other skin tones become deviations from the norm.”
- Ayun Halliday

“So it becomes a self-reinforcing cycle. When white people opt out of racemoji in favor of the “default” “yellow, those symbols become even more closely associated with whiteness—and the notion that white is the only raceless color.

“It’s enough to make me wonder who the actual special snowflakes are (not that being one’s a bad thing, in my opinion).” - Martie Sirois
