5 steps against inequality in the art world

We all talk about inequality and injustice, but what we don’t talk about enough is different ways one can take action and encourage others to do the same!

Here are 5 simple steps to help you take action against inequality in the art world:

✅ Do your own research by paying attention to representation in the art displays⁠.⁠

✅ Submit suggestions to curators and directors of museums and galleries⁠.⁠

✅ If you are an artist, pay attention to the line up of artists along your side⁠.⁠

✅ Ask important questions:

  • Where are your womxn artists?

  • What % of your collections are womxn artists?

  • What % are womxn artists of color?

  • What is your timeline for achieving equality?

  • What progress have you achieved in the last 5 years?⁠

✅ Continue the conversation outside of the context of the art world, art world is not the only place with this problem⁠!⁠

Let’s join our forces and make a difference!
