Since @toyinojihodutola's @whitneymuseum show, some people have criticized Toyin for depicting wealth as the solution to black problems. “That’s never been my aim,” she says. “I use wealth as a platform. I’m analyzing it, usurping it, playing with it, the way I would with blackness, the way I would with skin, the way I would do with stories. I think some people thought I was disregarding the work and suffering of black people. It’s not disrespect. I just don’t want to be an artist who only depicts black pain. “I understand that this is a significant part of black life around the globe,” she continues, “but if all we’re known for is our pain and our struggle, what does that say? I don’t want young people to feel that is the only way they can talk about themselves, through that lens. Black stories can be ridiculous. Black stories can be silly. They can be problematic. They can be mediocre and remarkable. They can be boring. Can we have that privilege now? Instead of having to be exceptional all the time? That was the aim of this whole saga—just to see that.” Tap the link in our bio to read our full interview. © Toyin Ojih Odutola. Courtesy of the artist and @jackshainman, New York.
