hi
I am frequently cranky about US and Europe and have Europe envy but that
might be nostalgic, but today I find this article below on this big show
opening in the Netherlands about artifacts stolen from colonial people and
the whole thing about giving them back...and I’m following this story with
great interest. I had read about the Dutch govt giving back stuff they’d
pillaged. Just as assists are becoming so invisible, right?


I teach in Art History and the post-colonial discourse has only just begun
to heat up after last summer and the civil rights movement. Kathy High had
sent me a document called Decentering Whiteness and  I’ve shared it to my
colleagues. Its’s focused upon design. But, wondering what other strategies
are being used in your worlds to counteract Western imperialist history?

Maybe there are more bridges between our continents...all this scholarship
about the slave trade links us undisputedly, and now to think that BLM
would be influential Holland. I’m sorry if that is no longer the name. I
have often been jealous that European countries are able to change their
names.
