I don’t normally post on social media much in general, however, this week I have been constantly reminded - and rightfully so- that silence is not a privilege that can be afforded right now. Active anti-racism must replace well meaning, passive, non-racism to affect real change. While it is inspiring to open Instagram to scroll through a barrage of supportive, aestheticized posts, this spirit is one that needs to be kept alive long after the flames of continuous, active protest die down. To that effect, I wanted to share the work of a phenomenal black artist that I greatly admire, Lorna Simpson. “Waterbearer” serves as a reminder to not only other white people, but myself to be ever vigilant in listening to the stories and experiences of black people, even if they do not align with our experience of the world. We cannot ignore what we don’t understand or what pops our bubble of privilege. Believe it when someone recalls an act of racism, enacted by yourself or others, however small. Microaggressions have macro consequences. Do not discount their memories. Now it is time to listen. Lorna Simpson, “Waterbearer,” 1986, gelatin silver print with vinyl lettering
