Getting Real About the Art World and Social Media, with Decolonize This Place
Manage episode 279775152 series 2838112
In this quarantine episode, Niki interviews Marz and Amin of Decolonize This Place, a collective of organizers, artists, and cultural workers in NYC who have led actions of solidarity with Palestine, Black Liberation, and decolonizing the land NYC landlords profit off of. Some of their most notable actions have been against museums across NYC in hopes of holding them accountable. As COVID19 heightens the crisis of disaster capitalism, they discuss some sobering assessments of the moment, the role of artists in this struggle, and truths for all of us to consider as we strive for a taste of freedom.
Decolonize This Place and their work has been featured in the New York Times, Teen Vogue, The Atlantic, Hyperallergic, ARTnews, and more.
