Re/thinking Mentorship in the Arts for POC
Friday, July 26, 2019
6:00pm-8:00pm
FREE
Re/thinking Mentorship in the Arts for POC is a panel discussion and workshop that centers the POC experience in navigating mentorship in the arts field. As arts organizations and institutions continue to address issues of racial, gender, and class disparities throughout the field, questions about the importance and practice of mentorship, specifically for the POC community, become increasingly critical. This panel discussion invites professionals across artistic disciplines to delve into the nuances of mentorship by exploring how it can uplift a person’s career, yet potentially present exploitative dynamics.
This panel will be moderated by Claire Kim and Danilo Machado in conversation with Angie Pittman, Kristina Newman-Scott, and Ximena Izquierdo Ugaz. This program is an intentional space for people of color in the arts. Reflections about the organizing process and panel conversation will be published for a broader audience.
