Like many organizations and individuals, WHAT has embarked on a journey of reflection and self-evaluation in response to the nation-wide recognition, in the wake of horrific violence targeting communities of color, that the American story has been built upon, and continues to perpetuate, a predominately white narrative that excludes, marginalizes, silences, and erases voices both from and reflective of communities of color. This narrative perpetuates racist mindsets which in turn support and perpetuate a history of violence and systemic inequality for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) communities, artists, and individuals. This process is often uncomfortable; revealing truths about ourselves, our biases, and our institution, that must be challenged. It is a time to examine the ways things have always been done, to look deeply and sincerely at our failure to embrace and support artists of color on and off our stages, to understand why voices of color have been excluded from our decision making, and how we have failed our audience and community. We are committed to leaning in to these difficult conversations. We know that we have much work to do and a long path ahead. By embracing this work, we commit to creating a stronger organization that reflects our community’s values, and ends the perpetuation of a harmful and exclusionary narrative.
