History: Simply being around a long time has some cachet and may mean you have access to historical wisdom, knowledge, and records. If you represent an educational or social justice charity, maybe giveaway specialty decks of cards featuring important people from history. It is seen as wasteful overhead. These exist already!

JANUARY 16, 2009

I think about how hesitant I was to become an artist, because I didn't see role models, and even to this day how hard it is for me sometimes to find peers who are women of color, because of how systematically they are pushed out.

I've always assumed that slow-moving, big, traditional, white- and upper-class-serving arts organizations are buoyed in their practices by funders who tacitly approve of their activities with their donations. We have the arguments and the energy. So what's missing? The funding and validity that a major foundation can provide.

It seemed to be a really good and sustainable model, and we raised around $300,000 doing that kind of work. The other thing that Off the Mat, Into the World does is that we create and model our own outreach projects, but on a grander scale. We brought in survivors of the genocide. It was so fun. These kids want to learn.
