When talking about white spaces, I believe it goes beyond that of just suburban areas or old plantations but we often times forget about universities and the fact that they were white spaces and a lot of times still considered white spaces. Although a lot of the institutions first created on Native land, they were white only spaces that deemed…[Read more]

UCSD is built on kumeyaay land and often times talk about equity and inclusion but refuse to acknowledge the harm done and continue to be done to native folks on this campus.

This photo came from an article discussing the similarities between graffiti and street art. Often times we categorize and racialize things like art and artistic expression.
