Navigating Art School & Galleries as a POC
– with Lara Chamas
Lara talks us through her experiences in art school and galleries as a person of colour (POC). What’s it like not having any POC mentors or lecturers? What’s it like when colleagues bite their tongue because you’re a POC artist? Drawing on personal experience, Lara explains the unique challenges of POC artists and how she has navigated them.
