Hi

Hi everyone, I'd like to invite editors to exchange their thoughts when editing this article. Let me shortly introduce who we are and why we'd like to connect with you: We're part of a research team (Art on our Mind) who are looking to increase visibility of Women of Colour artists on Wikipedia and at the same time staying aware of the discourses which we have criticised already in a book chapter (entitled "Whitespeak: How Race Works in South African Art Criticism Texts to Maintain the Arts as the Property of Whiteness" published in The Palgrave Handbook of Race and the Arts in Education, 2018).

@Bradv: I would be interested in the criteria which you apply when adding the {{BLP sources}} tag to biographical entries, thanks.

@Czar: Thanks for expanding the entry and adding resources. Just a short comment, I'd rather not use the word "mimicking" because of its deprecating connotation. In art education, it is a rather familiar process to copy from other artists - so I would rather change that.

@S'khatsele: What do you think? Fouadas (talk) 18:41, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fouadas, feel free to edit my contributions as you please. As you say, it's common for artists to mimic/emulate/copy other artists so I don't see that turn of phrase as derogatory. re: Bradv, imagine that tag was added because there were multiple paragraphs without final citations, making it harder for readers to verify the material. czar 23:12, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Czar, references and citations were added, and I removed the BLP tag. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fouadas (talk • contribs) 06:30, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
