Santa Cruz understood the importance of being able to see oneself in their culture and the value of identity. Through her work, she was not only able to disavow the way that Blackness was seen, but she redefined Blackness. She refused to accept the position that Peru and the broader American society continuously forced Black individuals into and, by writing and producing plays, allowed others to reject those roles. [x]

hi and hello.
i finished up my art history degree last spring and am aiming to begin my master's degree next year. i reblog lots of different things here, of all periods and genres and cultures — generally, anything can be art and my reblogs will reflect that.
i've got a pretty eclectic taste in art, and this blog will reflect that. i try to only reblog things that has an artist name or a specific period (ancient art where there is no known artist, for example) attached to it.
i follow from kv****ta****
i'm also deeply interested in post-colonialism within the museum (as an entity) and how the museum was built up on unethical, racist premises. i might not post much about it here, as i write about this mostly in norwegian, but when researching i might share a cool book or article on these topics.
enjoy!
