The apprentice in the Master's workshop, the guilds, the Academies, the technical colleges and Bauhaus: how did we get here?

In 2018, I wrote an essay called the Problem with Diaspora Art. It set me off on a trajectory of thinking about the way art institutions interact with people of colour (as well as the fundamental politic that drives those interactions). 5 years on, I have complex feelings about this 2018 text. I often feel jealous of dancers: they get to do a run through, take a step back and assess what they did...
