I'm disappointed (if unsurprised) to see the @TheAtlantic article about art world "scapegoating", which misses basically ALL of the nuance of a hard-but-necessary time of change in the museum field. 🧵
As someone who worked at the Guggenheim during the Basquiat show that @chaedria curated, I don't hesitate to say that it's really unequivocally clear that she was treated badly and that her claims of racism are 100% true and well-founded. Don't gaslight her!
By framing that situation as a scapegoating of one senior leader and dismissing it as cancel culture (🙄), this article (and so many bad faith discussions of its ilk) takes a wrongheaded, oversimplified way out.
