#firstdayfirstimage

Today I hope that some the brave #students all over the country participating in the #nationalschoolwalkout will keep raising their voices and become #leaders for a better tomorrow. There are many things to tackle, from #guncontrol to #equality for #lgbtq communities. But it starts with no more innocent kids dying because the #nra does not want to relinquish it’s ugly power. 🌈 #teaching #students #guncontrol #commonsensegunlaws . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #artistlife #phildelphia #firstdayfirstimage #portraitphotography #documentaryphotography #lgbtq #filmisnotdead #filmphotography #artcollector #analog #contemporaryart #fineartphotography #marcleclef #curator #lensculture #instagay #artist #conferencespeaker #artisthustle #educator #teacher #masculinities #india #marcleclef (at Brooklyn, New York)

First week of spring classes ✅ From today's drawing classes, #firstdayfirstimage : Wangechi Mutu, " Before Punk Came Funk," 2010. Mixed media, ink, collage on Mylar. . . . . #firstdayfirstimage asks artist-educators to actively rethink the canons they create for their curricula starting with the first image shown to students on the first day of class by centering voices long under-examined as the first image discussed in the classroom, including but not limited to female artists, artists of color, LGBTQ artists, and indigenous artists, we accept responsibility to expand the histories we help to create by hashtagging and broadcasting our chosen first image, we create an exchange of ideas on what these new histories might look like.
