Black Arts Admin B*tch Podcast

This bonus episode of Art Accordingly was filmed live on December 14th at the National Performance Network conference in Pittsburgh with special guests Arielle Julia Brown and Mauricio Tafur Salgado, both of the Remember 2019 project. Remember 2019 The episode has been edited for time and to preserve the privacy of attendees in the room.

Remember 2019's work supports and facilitates "local practices of self-determination, memory, and reflection, that are directly related to the mass lynching of 1919 [in Phillips County, Arkansas], the lasting effects of racial terror, and the current and future health of these communities."

The thoughts/views expressed by the co-hosts of Art Accordingly are their own and not on behalf of the Arts Administrators of Color Network or any other organization.

Quanice and Josh celebrate the coming of a new year! In this episode, they talk the Whitney's board of directors, "Green Book" and erasure, checks and balances, how Google's got the answers and sweet tea! For our "Social Justice Warrior in Action Segment," Stephanie Johnson-Cunningham (of Museum Hue) joins them to talk about the important and difficult work she's doing to make museums more equitable.

Quanice and Josh are sick & tired of being sick & tired. In this episode, they talk censorship, challenge museums on the ownership of indigenous art, put together a search party for missing salaries on job listings, and wonder what it'd take for organizations who get it wrong to just own up to the foolishness. For our "Social Justice Warrior in Action Segment," Carla Du Pree joins them for a discussion across many topics including when to walk away in fulfillment of an artistic life. 

Quanice and Josh are frustrated. Really frustrated. In this episode, they dive into the complexity of white women taking space in culturally specific institutions and then the people of color who co-sign it, white folks who can't stand to watch Black folks just live, the Trump administration and trans erasure, and the critique of white consultants profiting from equity/inclusion work. For our "Social Justice Warrior in Action Segment," Ron Muriera joins them for a discussion around his evolved career as a nonprofit executive director, development director, educator, performing artist, activist, and advocate for children and youth. 

Quanice and Josh try to untangle messy situations with Cal State Long Beach's University Art Museum and Afropunk, reflect on intent versus impact, while challenging folks to step up and start walking the walk.They are joined by María López De León, the President and CEO of the National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures (NALAC), to dig into why advocacy and research can help combat funding inequities. #laurenwoods #NALAC #MariaLopezDeLeon #LatinxArts #IntentvsImpact #WalkItLikeYouTalkIt
