@ the white girls who are still confused about this:
As the art hoe movement gained popularity, white people (myself included) turned it into a very classist aesthetic. Posts with thousands of notes tagged as #art hoe exclusively featured thin, white girls with expensive Kånken backpacks, Copic markers, Moleskine notebooks, and Birkenstocks. No one’s going to stop you from buying these things and loving art and this aesthetic, but the art hoe community was originally founded by POC for POC!
Mars, the creator of the art hoe movement said, “It seemed really classist – that you had to have this certain level of wealth. Jam and I are broke. It hurt me, because I don’t have an income like that – I can’t go and buy an expensive DSLR. People tried to use the ‘angry black person’ stereotype when I called them out on it; telling me it wasn’t a big deal. But it felt like a big deal. People of colour are often denied artistic ability, or the things we birth into the world are stolen by white counterparts. I never intended Art Hoe to be that way.” [x] [x] [x]
In an interview with Huffington Post the co-founder Jam was quoted saying, “Seeing a disabled trans black woman superimposing herself over a white man’s painting saying ‘I am here, I have worth, and my existence and art matters!’ is so wildly radical and revolutionary.” [x]
in conclusion: stop erasing platforms & safe spaces made for people of color
thank you!! i don’t mean to drag up old discourse but i still see a loooot of people who don’t realize this and i feel like it’s an important message

He wore this jacket in 1988, just 4 years before he’d ultimately die from AIDS. Sadly, just a few years ago some of his artistic work was censored at the Smithsonian. People in power are still content to try and erase his history and the continued struggles of people with AIDS. (Source)
