on being interested

This experience has been really interesting for me, especially having been a former "teen intern" myself at SBMA. I admire all of your interest in the potential for a conversation, although I now realize that this might have been overly demanding and perhaps taxing on your busy schedules.

But its been really exciting to see that it is possible at such a moment in your growing dedication to art and the art world, in the end I hope that this might in itself have been a crucial moment.

I know that my time as an intern at the museum was really a critical moment for me to understand what I really cared about, and what really sparked my interest. It was a great experience being offered the opportunity to realize what I wanted to know more about. And it only led to more opportunities and the birth of my growing network of people and communities. It seems as if you are

In some ways an exhibition I saw recently in Los Angeles was another of these moments. This is an exhibition you all should see, its really close!! It’s “WACK!, Art and the Feminist Revolution” at the MOCA Geffen space. This was a moment that for me really recharged my interest and dedication to art, it’s an incredibly refreshing and invigorating show. Although it does lack total contextualization (historical/geographical) and It maybe hard to understand but I think it would be important to have it as a visual reference regardless. It is really great to see how relevant all of the work is now. Especially when you look at what is being made/exhibited now.

So yeah, am glad to see some genuine interest, and involvement. Its important to keep looking, asking questions, and being engaged!
