As curators of “Street Legacy: SoCal Style Masters” at the California Center for the Arts (CCAE), we are committed to facilitating conversations about artworks and the steps required for deeper scrutiny and meaningful dialogue. Too often, we look without enough reflection and certainly without considering viewpoints outside of our own. The CCAE just introduced a set of perspectives from artists who have not previously been invited inside its walls. Many of these artists use the visual arts to explore ideas around their own culture, upbringing, work, and daily experiences. Sometimes this involves abuse of power, marginalization, and firsthand experiences with racism. None of these ideas are easy to talk about but the art provides an opportunity for this community conversation to take place. Censorship of an image or idea that does not correspond with our own personal view is a dangerous practice. In this case, censoring Slick’s artwork demonstrates that one perspective in the community is more important and powerful than another.
