Colonizers loot our art and then devalue it at the same time. This is why you see white art traders selling #AfricanArt at a premium but actual African artists suffer and die broke. I think specifically of #NestaNala as I write this. She was a Zulu potter from South Africa, held in a similar esteem as #MariaMartinez. Learn her story.

Never believe that your #art doesn’t matter, especially if you’re of a marginalized identity. We’re constantly being duped and brainwashed and it’s maddening.
