A few semesters ago, I was in a class about Feminist Art, in which we were supposed to be learning about how activism and art can and have intersected ("artivism"). The course focused mainly on cis, white women from the '80s instead of taking a more intersectional approach and talking about current (or even past!) artists who are people of color, trans, or anything but exclusively white and cis. And I hope it's obvious that the class didn't focus on those people because there is a lack of them--that is far from the case. Instead, I think it was because the instructor was/is a cis white woman artist. #Scripps
