The Revolutionary Art & Culture Residency injects the voices of Black and brown writers into art criticism and art writing ensuring that these spaces are more equitable and provide a more truthful depiction of the story of art.

Revolutionary Art Criticism Residency Endeavors To: 

• Decolonize art spaces.

• Center BIPOC criticism and analysis of art.

• Deconstruct barriers around what is considered “fine art”.

• Mentor and develop BIPOC writers in art criticism

• Provide a platform for diverse written perspectives of art.

• Develop a culture of belonging for BIPOC community members in the art spaces in their communities.

"I Want a President..." is a project created by one of LIT's 2020 Artist-Activist Fellows Mikey Cody Apollo. The project was inspired by the 1992 poem of the same name written by artist Zoe Leonard. The goal of the project is to get folks talking about voting, elections, leadership, and change. The final video for the fellowship project, “I Want a President,” was my own. I wrote this poem with everyone I love on my mind and heart.
