This opinion piece addresses the dominance of the white male critic, its harmful impact, and the need for more cultural critics and critics of color. The authors state, "those who have for decades been given the biggest platforms to interpret culture are white men. This means that the spaces in media where national mythologies are articulated, debated and affirmed are still largely segregated. The conversation about our collective imagination has the same blind spots as our political discourse"... "Art reviews matter because they can define aesthetic movements or dismiss them". The authors reference the 2019 Whitney Biennial, the reception of "Green Book", and their initiative, Critical Minded, meant to amplify the work of critics of color.
