    Nepo-Babies: Is Equity Possible in the Art World

    Melanie Luna, a visual artist and the Associate Director of Duckworth Gallery in Red Hook Brooklyn, joins the podcast to discuss how diversity is ... or is not... found in the art world. She'll share her unique perspective as both an artist herself and as an Associate Director of an art gallery. She'll dissect how artists' careers are made, how the insular world of art curation centers the voices and interests of people who already benefit from generations of art collecting, and how their choices continue to center non diverse artists while all to often othering and fetishizing artists of color. Finally, she'll lay out her bold vision for how a correction in the art market is what's needed to get back to the true spirit of art collecting and out of its current modality of operating like penny stocks. Tune in for a bold, no holds barred, sin pelos en la lengua conversation about the realities of the art world and how change can happen.
