    Some of you have asked about my experience at the Guggenheim as the first Black curator, woman & creator of the Basquiat exhibition. I'm still super proud of it. Working at the Guggenheim w/ Nancy Spector & the leadership was the most racist professional experience of my life.

    Get the entire fuck out of here. I am Chaédria LaBouvier, the first Black curator in your 80 year history & you refused to acknowledge that while also allowing Nancy Spector to host a panel about my work w/o inviting me Erase this shit. Please RT.
    The Guggenheim is observing Blackout Tuesday, listening and grieving with the family of George Floyd and the many other black lives that have been lost. We stand in solidarity with those demanding justice and an end to racism.

    Oooff. Overhearing this relationship in trouble on the shuttle bus and the guy just told the girl, "I love you and I want to make us work but you're mean AS FUCK and it's wearing me down." She's just looking at him like she knows he's right but doesn't know what to do about it.

    I have come to realize that the rich of today are different from the robber barons of yesteryear for a few reasons, but mostly b/c they are deeply uneducated, uninterested in the arts and humanities for the public and do not have the good sense to at least pretend

    yall aren't going to like this, but Shein chose women that they thought would be desperate enough for the perks. Notice there are no thin White women here; it's a non-verbal messaging that this shit is beneath them, but they called in women that they don't think are
