Joined by designer Hillary Taymour, we spoke with Aariana Rose Philip in “The Disabled Body” section of our “Costume Art” exhibition.
Standing before mannequins inspired by her own body, Rose shared what it means to see her community represented, not just in this exhibition, but across the Museum.
#MetCostumeArt #MetGala
@metmuseum@metcostumeinstitute #AndrewBoltonOBE are refusing to acknowledge their role in displaying and publishing a piece that was completely and entirely plagiarized from @anouskasamms , as she owns the intellectual property rights to the fabric and design. instead are passing the fault onto the collaborator, but samms is the joint author and co-owner of the design and the collaborator has signed written agreements saying so, meaning that it is up to @metmuseum@metcostumeinstitute #AndrewBoltonOBE to credit her for her work and *not* the collaborating studio. the public still upholds that it is up to the met museum, the met costume institute and #AndrewBoltonOBE to rectify their actions and provide anouska samms credit and reparations. the public is not blind to their transgressions. also, deal with the blatant bigotry in your comment sections if you’re attempting to uplift disabled artists and bodies.
The MET steals designs and doesn’t pay OR credit true artists and creators for their work!!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️WHO KNOWS HOW MANY TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE! Tell us why you can charge 100k for a ticket to an event but can’t pay one artist for her art you want to put in your museum. Cheating out hiring another artist to copy somebody else’s work and making a TEMU cheap ass version just bc that person knows somebody?😂😂😂 Cheap ass penny pinching thieves posing as classy and fashion forward
